Back by popular demand are two East Coast hiking trips: PEI and Newfoundland Coast to Coast. Famous for its red soil, PEI’s mostly flat island trails are ideal for hikers who enjoy adventure at their own pace. This tour introduces hikers to long stretches of sandy beaches, spectacular coastal views, rolling farmlands and picturesque fishing villages. The tour itinerary includes walking along parts of the Island Walk and Confederation Trail and venturing into PEI National Parks to experience the many beaches and magnificent protected sand dunes.
The rugged terrain of Gros Morne National Park and Western Newfoundland tempts hikers with an unforgettable landscape of fjords, mountains, meadows and ancient rocks. In the history-dense Great Northern Peninsula, visitors can walk on the Earth’s mantle, tour recreated Viking settlements, learn about Indigenous communities and admire a traditional Newfoundland fishing village. The Newfoundland Hiking Tour is a great escape from urban life and includes memorable visits to the Tablelands, Western Brook Pond, portions of the East Coast Trail and whale watching if the timing is right.
