Four Days in Trinity: Coastal wildlife, Geopark landscapes and a classic Newfoundland lobster boil.
A Time in Trinity places you on Newfoundland’s eastern shore for three nights and four days of coastal exploration: boat tours to search for wildlife, full‑day visits into the UNESCO Geopark, guided historic walks in Trinity and perimeter hikes that look out over Trinity Bay, all threaded together with local meals and a lobster boil.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Zodiac wildlife and shoreline scenery
An afternoon Zodiac boat tour along Trinity’s coastline brings wildlife viewing and close encounters with the sea and cliffs — a defining portion of the package's first day on site.
UNESCO Geopark full‑day exploration
A full‑day Geopark tour visits regional sites including Bonavista, Port Union and other coastal communities (stops are weather‑ and season‑dependent), offering geological and coastal context to the landscape.
Historic walks, trails and a lobster boil
Days in Trinity blend a historical walking tour (or an independent hike up Gun Hill), a walk of the Skerwink Trail and a visit to Random Passage Historical Site, capped by a lodge lobster boil.
