Irish Loop to Ferryland Tour
4.7 / 5 · 42 traveler reviews
Take a run ‘Up’ the Southern Shore as we wind along the pretty coastal roadways that connect the outport fishing communities along Newfoundland’s Irish Loop. This is a beautiful drive along the coast with architecture and development that reflects an era of opulence thought unimaginable for this period in North American history. We’ll meet fascinating characters, visit small fishing communities, and absorb the magnitude of luxury items discovered at the Colony of Avalon archeological site.
