OVERVIEW

Hike the stunningly beautiful coastline from the top of the National Historic Site of Signal Hill to downtown St. John’s. While visiting Signal Hill, you will learn about the military history of this strategic site and enjoy magnificent views that may include your ship in the harbor below. Your descent from Signal Hill will be on foot down North Head Trail, a winding path that follows the edge of the bluff in parts. It will be well worth the effort as the views of the sea and surrounding landscape are breathtaking. You may see wildflowers (in season), seabirds and fishing trawlers cruising through the Narrows. In time, you will arrive downtown and make your way to the War Memorial, this is where your tour concludes. You can make your way back to the ship (500 meters away), or if time allows, continue to stroll Water Street, which is thought to be the oldest street in North America.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Hike mainly downhill from historical Signal Hill to downtown St. John’s.
• Delight in the glorious vistas of the sea, wildflowers (in season), and the city below.
• Stroll what may be the oldest street in North America.


HELPFUL HINTS

• Dress in weather-appropriate clothing.
• Wear flat comfortable walking shoes.
