Reviewed By 319janise - York Harbour, Canada

I see Blow me Down mountain from my window every day. It is also a great place to hike and get an unbelievable view of Corner Brook, Woods Island, Governors Island, Lark Harbour, York Harbour, the North Arm. It is a challenging hike but not too strenuous. And worth the effort!

Bell Island Community Museum - No. 2 Mine Tour

Closed for the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Opening May 2021. Group and Off Season Tours can be booked in April, 2021. This “Cultural Tourism Award” winner is a 20 minute ferry ride from scenic Portugal Cove. When you arrive, the #2 Underground Mine Tour & Museum is a 5 minute car ride from the ferry dock. At our facility you will be greeted by local tour guides who will share our history and tell you amazing stories about our forefathers. You'll be inspired by tales of these hard working Bell Islanders who risked their lives to supply the world markets with precious iron ore and were instrumental in contributing to the economic stability of the province of Newfoundland Labrador in the early 1900's. Our experience includes a walking tour that goes down into the #2 Mine to 650 feet on a 10 degree slope. Wear a jacket or warm sweater, it is 6 degrees. After your tour, sit and enjoy a cup of our own Miners' Blend Coffee with a treat in our newly renovated Mug Up Coffee Shop.

Cabot Tower

A tower built at the highest point of Signal Hill, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland and Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

Reviewed By jenniferb360 - Ottawa, Canada

We took the Hop On Hop Off bus tour, and our first stop was Signal Hill, where Cabot Tower is situated at its highest point. It was built as a monument to John Cabot’s 1497 voyage to North America and to the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s reign. Climb the stairs for a great view of the city and harbour. There is a gift shop on the first floor, and the second floor has a section devoted to the first trans-Atlantic wireless transmission of the human voice received here by Guglielmo Marconi in 1920.

Cape Bonavista Lighthouse

Reviewed By VacationingCanadians

Park your vehicle, and just start walking - in any direction - you will be so very amazed at the breath taking views from these rocks/cliffs. We drove up to the lighthouse early in the day to enjoy our morning coffee, and it was hard to describe how it felt to sit at the top of the cliff and watch the whales in the ocean, with the gentle ocean breeze on our faces, feeling like we were at the top of the world, with the most amazing view..... it was priceless....

Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site

Reviewed By T4232XIjohnb - Toronto, Canada

Cape Spear is as far east as you can go in North America and the lighthouse stands as a sentinel protecting ships from the dangerous rocky shores. Do walk up to the lighthouse to get the best views and even if the day is a foggy/cloudy one you will get a great experience with the fog horn blowing in the background.
