How It All Works
You Become Part of the Community We want you to experience the ultimate "True Newfoundland Adventure" - experiencing Newfoundland culture with its rich history set in pristine wilderness. We have designed an authentic meaningful adventure that will expose you to all facets of what's known as the Far East of the Western World. Our personal recommendations are derived from our family's experiences in the Province over the years, and from our own travel journals. These recommendations will include visiting popular attractions, as well as unique and out of the way pubs, restaurants, hikes, sights, and excursions that are not well known to the average traveller. We do not stage any of the experiences you will have, rather we place you in the situation. At each destination you will have the opportunity to become part of the community. The outcome is what you make of it. Pricing and departure dates detailed below. Download the CapeRace Brochure >> Your tour will take you throughout the east coast of Newfoundland, the Avalon and Bonavista Peninsula's. This exploring vacation will be completed on foot, by car, and by water-craft. We supply a proprietary traveller's guidebook and a key that fits the locks of three newly renovated historic homes situated in spectacular coastal locations. All offer a different measure of Newfoundland's intriguing cultural, scenic, and sporting assets. At each destination you will find your own private, fully-outfitted, self-catered house. Cultural and scenic activities take place within one hour's drive of these three locations, and adventures are to be had along the way as you travel between them. You will spend four nights at each destination. (Other packages available- see below for terms) Our flexible self-driving, self-catering approach gives you the opportunity to experience cultural and ecological discovery at your own pace, on your own terms. Spontaneity Focal points on the circuit-tour are the capital city of St. John's, the former fishing outport Heart's Delight, and the historic town of Bonavista. Not only are the actual destinations spectacular, but the road trip between the destinations is also a large part of the adventure. Drive down a back road to discover a sunken ship, or speak with an archeologist at a dig site, or ask to climb aboard a long-liner fishing vessel just in with a haul of sea crab. Be uninhibited and you will experience the unexpected. Lose Your Sense of Time We are a boutique, family-operated tour company. We take pride in our products and services and work to ensure your vacation is nothing less than spectacular. Our upbeat itinerary will cause you to pleasantly lose your sense of time. So much to do, lots of time to do it. Our proprietary travel guide creates an "inherent itinerary". Many people underestimate the size of the island and lose their vacation to their car - they eat at service stations along the Trans Canada Highway and take photographs through a bug-splattered window. We keep you on track by recommending scenic routes and sites as you travel between the three destinations, maximizing the use of your time. Days will seem like weeks, weeks will seem like months. We will meet with you or consult by phone before you depart to ensure you understand the activities and schedule that make sense to you and your travel partners. Experts in the Art of Having Fun What Newfoundland offers is choice. Whale-watching at Witless Bay can be experienced by large passenger tour-boat, sea kayak, high speed Zodiac, or, you may be able to hire a fishing boat by striking a deal with a local on the dock. Not only will he skipper the boat but he will also be an excellent guide. In addition, you can augment your daily excursions by accessing nearby world-class hiking trails. With spectacular views of the ocean, these trails exist at most sites, and will be noted in the travel guide. While in Trinity you can overdose on world-class theatre, live folk music and historic architecture or head on to Bonavista, the site of John Cabot's landing in 1497. Or you can do both. In St. John's you can tour many sites by accessing the Grand Concourse Trail, an urban trail that winds it's way through St. John's, or you can drive or walk to the sites in minutes. Plan a full day visit to Cape Spear by taking a two, four, or six-hour hike, or, drive there in twenty minutes and gaze at the ocean for the afternoon. Or hang out in Petty Harbour, a historic fishing village just down the road. Because so many options exist, planning can be done on the fly depending on your mood, your energy, and the weather. $USD and Euro pricing download the CapeRace Brochure >> Pricing, Packaging, & Terms CapeRace offer two flat-rate, exclusive use packages.
