We’ll make plenty of stops for photographs, conversations, and mythical stories as we discover the tremendous wealth generated here in the 17th century. This area represents one of the world’s most unique migrations when a single mass of 18th century Irish / English citizens laid the foundation upon which Newfoundland’s culture was derived. Enjoy a traditional Newfoundland lunch and the kind of hospitality for which the Newfoundland people have become so famous.
Overnight St. John's. Breakfast & Lunch.
