The East Coast Trail is a series of 24 wilderness paths totaling 265 km along the Avalon Peninsula; ranked the world's top coastal destination in 2016 by National Geographic. Enjoy ocean splendors from the shore while traversing towering cliffs and headlands, sea stacks, coves, and deep fjords. Along the way, enjoy picturesque bay-side communities, abandoned settlements, ecological reserves, and a special lighthouse picnic. The package includes popular ECT day hikes such as Beaches Path, Deadman's Bay Path to Fort Amherst, and the most easterly point of North America along the Cape Spear Path. We also take you to more remote sections farther south such as beautiful Flamber Head Path and to the impressive sea arch at Berry Head. Take in the history and culture of small fishing towns, including picturesque Quidi Vidi, charming Petty Harbour and Renews; one of the very first harbours in North America to be frequented by Europeans. There is a real possibility of whale, puffins, moose, or iceberg sightings while on the trail; but encounters with genuine, story-telling local hosts are guaranteed!
