THE IRISH LOOP TO FERRYLAND
What is the Irish Loop to Ferryland tour?
The Irish Loop to Ferryland tour is a full-day guided tour down Newfoundland's Southern Shore, departing St. John's Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9:30 AM, priced at $155 per adult and $105 per child plus HST with a traditional pan-fried cod lunch, all entrance fees, and free hotel pickup included. It runs mid-May to late September. This is the day you trade the city for the open coast, winding through outport fishing communities to the Colony of Avalon, where a 17th-century English settlement is still being dug out of the ground.
What do you see on the Irish Loop tour?
You'll follow the coastal road through Tors Cove and the small communities of the Southern Shore to Ferryland, home of the Colony of Avalon archaeology site — one of the best-preserved early colonial settlements in North America. Along the way you'll meet local characters, hear the stories behind the area's surprising 17th-century wealth, and stop for a traditional Newfoundland meal. Your local guide narrates the history, folklore, and culture throughout.
