After the visit to Signal Hill, we will head to the brewery for a tour.;
Visit the renowned Quidi Vidi Brewery, known for its unique brewing techniques and famous beer, "Iceberg." Made with pure water from a 20,000-year-old iceberg, this beer is only sold in St. John's, Newfoundland and nowhere else in the world. During your visit, you'll have the opportunity to taste and learn about authentic local beers with a rich and long-lasting flavor that lingers on your palate, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Canadian "drunken" beauty!

You can explore the colorful streets of Water Street while enjoying local traditional and international cuisine. Water Street is one of the oldest streets in North America and one of the main commercial streets in St. John's. This famous street showcases the trading patterns and architectural styles of European powers such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands in the 19th century.


After lunch, we will head to Cape Spear for a 1.5-hour visit.;
Take a hike on the trail at the easternmost point of North America, feeling the temperature of every inch of the land with your feet. Visit Cape Spear, the easternmost point of North America, and take photos facing the vast Atlantic Ocean. Dovekies, Great Cormorants, and Thick-billed Murres often visit this area. Here, you can also see the oldest lighthouse, battery, and ammunition depot, as well as the weather-beaten ruins of the Spear Fort. Come to the easternmost point of North America, face the sea, meditate, contemplate, seek peace, and find inspiration!



Then we will visit Petty Harbour.;
Petty Harbour is a picturesque fishing village with a history of over 400 years, renowned for its cod fish and snow crab. Facing the sea and surrounded by blooming flowers in the spring, you will transcend the hustle and bustle of the world and enter a realm free from worldly distractions.

Return to the hotel and conclude the enjoyable journey of the first day.
Day 2: Depart for the wildlife park at 7:30 am, with a drive of approximately 1.5 hours. Enjoy a 2-hour tour of the park.
Visit the Salmonier Nature Park, a wildlife reserve with a 3 km wooden boardwalk that takes you into the wild habitats of various animals and their natural environments, including forests and wetlands. Here, you can not only see polar bear specimens up close, but also get a close-up view of moose, caribou, lynx, bald eagles, beavers, arctic wolves, arctic foxes, otters and more. The tour lasts for 2 hours.


Lunch will be a quick North American meal during the highway drive, and then we will head to Bird Island for a 1.5 hour visit.;
Next, we will visit Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve, also known as Bird Island, which is the largest seabird nesting site in North America. Over 70,000 birds cover the island and the surrounding cliffs, including puffins, Northern Gannets, Common Murres, Thick-billed Murres, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Razorbills, and Horned Larks. Why are Northern Gannets called "the birds of love"? The answer will be revealed before your eyes: you will witness the unique and beautiful love ritual of the Northern Gannets. The male and female birds face each other with their wings spread out, then continuously shake their heads and rub their bills against each other or preen each other's feathers with their bills. Finally, they both raise their heads, point their bills towards the sky, and call out continuously, as if announcing to their other companions, "We are now a couple!" The locals liken this to a fencing match (l'escrime in French). The Northern Gannet is known for its unique and famous "fencing-style kiss," which has earned it the title of "the birds of love."



Then head to Clarenville for hotel check-in.;
Day 3: Depart for Twillingate at 8:00 am and have local fast food for lunch.;
In the afternoon, take a boat tour to observe icebergs and whales (activity subject to availability depending on the month).;
Head to Twillingate, known as the "Iceberg Capital of the World," to take a boat tour to observe icebergs and whales (depending on the month). During the spring and summer months, the Labrador Current brings icebergs from the Arctic down along the coast of Newfoundland, with hundreds of icebergs slowly drifting southward along the Avalon Peninsula to form the famous natural wonder of the Iceberg Alley (activity depends on the month).



Go to Grand Falls-Windsor and check into the hotel.

In the afternoon, we will visit the famous attraction in Gros Morne National Park, The Tablelands.;
In the afternoon, explore the Martian landscape at The Tablelands, one of the few places in the world where the mantle is exposed. The long-term movement of the Earth's crust pushed the mantle to the surface, resulting in a barren, ochre-colored terrain that resembles the Martian landscape. NASA also has a research facility here, using this area as a simulated Mars site.


Check in at Rocky Harbour.
Day 5: In the morning, we will head to Western Brook Pond, another famous attraction in the park, for a boat tour.;
Take a boat tour of Western Brook Pond, a glacially-carved fjord known for its towering cliffs that reach hundreds of meters high and cascading waterfalls. The lake is known for its pure, non-conductive water due to a lack of necessary substances!
