Take a Hike
3 hour - $100 per person
(2 person min. with 15% discount for groups of 4)
The East Coast Trail is a series of paths that at one time served as the footpaths between the people living in the many coastal communities along the eastern edge of the Avalon Peninsula. Today the East Coast Trail Association maintains these trails for public use. I will take you along one of the gentlest of these trails to enjoy coastline and cliffside spectacular views. There is nothing quite like a walk in fresh salty air and through the woods! There are many species of birds to discover along the way. Watch out for those eagles! If our timing is right, and the whales are spouting, we'll certainly pause to enjoy the spectacle.
Option to add another hour to this excursion to enjoy a meal together at either Lorina's, or The Grounds Café can be requested at time of booking.

This tour really covers ground, up and down, while looking at ocean views too. Get your camera ready for plenty of selfies! You'll see Quidi Vidi Lake and Village, before we tackle the hill, Signal Hill. Why is it called that anyway? Want to check out those Jelly Bean houses? Why are they so colourful? Now we'll go up again over the Southside Hills to Shea Heights down to Blackhead and on to Cape Spear. Let's find those disappearing guns and maybe explore a lighthouse, or two! Now we're off to Petty Harbour - Maddox Cove where we'll stop for some delicious Newfoundland food at Chafe's Landing, Petty Harbour Public House, or Keith's Diner in Goulds? After lunch we can walk along the harbourfront or venture to Bowring Park for a stroll around the duck pond, a visit with Peter Pan, and learn of the importance of remembrance at The Caribou Memorial.

This tour showcases some of the spectacular photo opportunities in and around St. John's. We'll take in the vistas both ocean side and city view from Cabot Tower on Signal Hill. A stop at the Fort Waldegrave cannon with views out to Fort Amherst lighthouse, and the length of the harbour as well as the city skyline. From Prosser's Rock Boat basin you will see both the colourful fishing boats and the colourful houses clinging to the rocks of The Battery. Now we're off to the point at Cape Spear, the easternmost point of Canada, the ocean, the waves, the rocks, the lighthouse, WOW! Back across the city and up to Admiral's Green Golf Course where you're so high up you'll be looking down on Cabot Tower! Hungry? Let's finish off our tour with a stop at By The Beach to enjoy some fish and chips with a view of Conception Bay, and the Bell Island ferry going back and forth.

We'll start our trip at the spot where Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope before making our way through The Battery at the base of Signal Hill, stunningly beautiful. From here we'll drive westward along St. John's Harbour then cross to the south side of the harbour to take in the view from Prosser's Rock Boat Basin. So much colour to see! Are you up for a walk out to the Fort Amherst Light House? After our walk we'll drive on to the most eastern point of Canada, Cape Spear. The journey continues to the village of Petty Harbour - Maddox Cove. Here you can enjoy the view from two lookouts as well as wharfside. Perhaps it's time for some sustenance? Chafe's Landing or the Petty Harbour Public House should fill us up. We'll drive back through Kilbride and, if time allows, stop at Bowring Park to see the ducks and indulge a childhood fantasy with a visit to Peter Pan.

About your guide
Mary
A fifth generation Newfoundlander, I grew up and raised my own three children here in St. John's. My friends and family say I'm one of the friendliest, happiest people they know. Life's too short not to enjoy yourself! Never one to be stuck for a word, one of my favourite things to do is meet visitors, discover where they come from and what brings them to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. I've yet to find one who wasn't delighted they came here. So if this is your first chance to see "The Rock" I'd be happy to show you around. Choose from one of the tours I've created, or contact me with a particular interest and I'll customize a tour.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How many passengers do you take?
I drive a Honda CRV Touring Edition with a capacity to seat four passengers comfortably. However, that depends on the size of the passengers. I would never want to arrive to pick up my guests and see four professional basketball players or sumo wrestlers who expected a bus. Please make this judgement yourself.
​
2. I'm a single traveller and you have a 2 person minimum, can you accommodate me?
You have two options:
1)You can request to be added to another tour for that day that already has one or two guests. (I cannot promise that this will be available.) Introductions will be made and off we'll go.
2) If you want to have a private tour you will have to pay for a minimum of two seats.
​
3. Do you do custom tours?
Yes, tell me what your interest is and I will try to work up a price to accommodate.
​
4. What time do your tours begin?
Normally tours start at 9:30, giving guests time to snooze late to possibly adjust to our unique time zone and allowing good timing for a lunch stop on longer tours. If you need to alter this please let me know.
5. Where do I meet you to take a tour?
I pick up my guests at their accommodations within the city.
6. Can you consider my dietary restraints?
I always ask my guests when booking if there are any dietary restrictions. This allows me the opportunity to alter snacks that I provide, and clarify with restaurant in advance their ability to supply options and, if necessary, alter where we would eat.
​​​
6. How do I pay for my tour?
I collect payment for tours at the end of the tour. Options for payment:
a) Cash (unusual but it works)
b) E-Transfer (for guests with a Canadian Bank Account)
c) Credit or Debit Cards are processed in my vehicle with my card reader with an electronic receipt issued.​
