Couples Trip July 2017
Canada

Moving from St. John’s to Fogo Island over ten nights, this route keeps the coast close almost the whole way. St. John’s starts with a walk through the Battery and up Signal Hill. From there the trip shifts out to the East Coast Trail at Bay Bulls, icebergs off Cape Bonavista, the Skerwink Trail above Trinity Bay and a morning by boat through resettled outports. Three final nights on Fogo Island close the trip: a Community Host morning, the Little Fogo Islands by boat and long meals over the Atlantic.

 
Behind the Route

A remote inn on Fogo Island shaped the trip. The route from St. John's was chosen for coastal hiking, outports, time on the water and dinners with their own character.

Best For Travellers after coastal hiking, small fishing communities and an island stay to finish.
  

My husband and I took this trip in July 2017, just the two of us. The inn on Fogo Island was one of those places we had to see, and it was the reason we went to Newfoundland. It sits along Iceberg Alley and we wanted to experience iceberg season up close.

Looking back, it was the mix I remember most. Long coastal hikes, little fishing communities, some wonderful meals, plenty of Newfoundland weather, and then three nights on Fogo to slow everything down at the end.
