About this activity

**Awarded Viators Badge of Excellence!**

Truly Private & Unhurried Service: Travel in a private SUV (3 max 4 on request) with your own dedicated guide. Larger groups will travel in multiple SUVs. We move at your pace, enjoying 30 to 90 mins at each stop. For cruise passengers we tailor the day to your ships schedule, no crowded buses.

Local Expertise: All guides are proud to call St. John's home. Each having lived here at least 65 years, we share real stories coming from true locals, something a 15-minute photo op simply can't provide.

Deep Engagement & Authentic Insider Access: We dont just drive past the sites, you'll experience them. Wander, talk, listen, explore. Go behind the scenes for authentic cultural experiences. Step inside a working fishing stage & hear real stories from local fishemen. Tour the inside of an 1800s lighthouse. Visit inside a Newfie shed & learn of our Newfie tradition.

Our unhurried 6 hours maximizes chances of spotting whales, icebergs & seabirds.
