Day 3 - St. John’s to Trinity (297 km/184 mi)

Today embark on your journey to the Bonavista Peninsula, known for its scenic and rugged coastlines. The peninsula also contains some of the oldest settlements in Newfoundland, particularly the towns of Bonavista and Trinity. Before settling in to your accommodation for the night, you may want to drive 20 minutes south of Trinity to New Bonaventure and visit the Random Passage Site. Constructed in 2000 for the filming of the international TV mini-series “Random Passage”, the site today provides the opportunity to step back in time and experience what life might have been like in a fishing outpost in the early 1800s. (Breakfast included)

Day 4 - Trinity

Explore the enchanting village of Trinity with its restored white and pastel coloured clapboard houses. Set along a dramatic coastline you will discover a sense of Newfoundland’s history and nature. Walk through the preserved historic buildings of the village, watch a blacksmith at work, and visit the Cooperage to learn about barrel making. Join the Trinity Pageant, a walking theatre that meanders through the village enticing viewers to live the history of the area.  If you’re feeling active, hike the short but steep 20-minute trail up Gun Hill behind the village for spectacular 360 degree views of the village and surrounding areas.

Day 5 - Bonavista Peninsula Trinity

Now that you have a sense of the area, venture to Port Rexton today and hike the Skerwink Trail. This very walkable trail will take you along the rugged coastline for a spectacular view of the surrounding villages set against the ocean. In the afternoon, head north to the town of Bonavista, where you can visit the Ryan Premises National Historic Site, a 19th century replica fish processing factory. In this small village you will also f ind the red and white striped Bonavista Lighthouse, and the Matthew Legacy, a replica of John Cabot’s ship which voyaged across the Atlantic to discover land in 1497. Near Bonavista, visit Dungeon Provincial Park, where a collapsed sea cave has formed a natural arch carved by the sea. Be sure to make a stop in the town of Elliston, where dozens or more puffins may be found dotting the rugged cliffs at the Elliston Puffin Viewing site. (Breakfast included)
