Newfoundland Vacation:CapeRace Cultural Adventures

Activity/Tour

Chosen by the editors of National Geographic as the "Tour of a Lifetime" for 2008, based on a criteria of authenticity, seasoned expertise, sustainability, unprecedented access, and local connections. Homes featured in Canadian Home & Country Magazine.

CapeRace offers outdoorsy, soft adventure, meaningful travel packages that bring Newfoundland’s rich history, performing arts, and the pristine wilderness together to create what we call an "Eco-Culture Experience"™. This occurs at the intersection of Newfoundland's unique cultural heritage, amazing wildlife and scenic wonders. It appeals to the mind and soul of the curious traveller and ensures the self-guided experience is filled with a sense of personal meaning and accomplishment. Sense of place, or geographical character of our destinations is highlighted through the encouragement of traveller participation in the local community-- but on your own terms, your own time, and in an authentic, sustainable setting.

Typical Day

CapeRace will give you a key that fits the locks of three newly restored historic homes situated in spectacular coastal locations, a car, and a self-published traveller's guidebook. Travellers stay at these authentic indigenous homes on an exclusive–use basis, and use the self-directing guidebook to explore unique and out-of-the-way nature sights, pubs, and music venues - recommending activities that will inspire the traveller to become part of three local communities. Each are located within a three hour proximity, and offer a different measure of Newfoundland's intriguing cultural, scenic, and sporting assets. The flexible self-driving, self-catering circuit-tour gives you the opportunity to experience cultural and ecological discovery at your own pace, on your own terms.
