Description
Your tour begins with pick up directly from your hotel in downtown St. John’s in one of our complimentary vehicles. You’ll enjoy a narrated drive along the way to our first stop at the beautiful Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site, the oldest in the province and sits on the most easterly point of North America. While here, you will have some time to explore the lighthouse and take in the awe-inspiring views of the Atlantic Ocean.
We’ll then take you back to downtown St. John’s for a narrated driving tour of the city, passing by multiple points of interest including Jellybean Row, George Street, and taking you through nearby Quidi Vidi Village.
Our next tour stop will be Signal Hill National Historic Site. The spot is significant for its historic role as the location of the final battle of the Seven Years’ War in North America. This site is also significant to communications history as it is where the first-ever transatlantic wireless signal was received by the famous Italian inventor, Guglielmo Marconi. While you are here, you will have the opportunity to explore the famous Cabot Tower and enjoy incredible views of St. John’s and its harbour.
Next, you will be taken to Newfoundland’s award-winning boat tour, Iceberg Quest. You will absolutely love this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Cape Spear, Cabot Tower and Fort Amherst from the sea as you witness the world’s largest concentration of humpback whales, along with 12,000 year old icebergs!
Once you are back on land, your tour will come to a close and your guide will bring you back to your hotel in downtown St. John’s." Turn it into a markdown with styling and add expected time spend on each point
