Depart the pier and head to the north coast of the Bay of Islands on a 45-minute scenic journey to the quaint seaside community of Cox's Cove. Your guide enlightens and entertains you along the way with tales of folklore and the history of Corner Brook.
Stop at one of the four geologically fascinating places where the Earth's mantle protrudes through the crust. You will view it from a distance for safety reasons.
Pause outside a fish-processing plant for some interpretive discussion on fish harvesting, processing, and the infamous 1992 cod moratorium. A stroll along the waterfront introduces you to the unique and colorful fishing dories (boats) that make for picturesque photos.
Step inside an indoor venue to meet the local villagers. You're treated to a musical performance and square dance showcasing the province of Newfoundland and a sampling of regional culinary delicacies.
Once the formal part of your visit is complete, enjoy free time to stroll through the community, take photos, or interact with the residents before returning to the pier.
Notes:
