Cultural and Ecological Discovery at Your Own Pace, on Your Own Terms CapeRace Cultural Adventures is excited to announce a new tour for 2009, CapeRace HIKE. We have partnered with organizations such as the East Coast Trail Association to bring you the best of Newfoundland and Labrador’s walking and hiking trail system. During this eight day trip your experience will take you throughout the Avalon and Bonavista Peninsulas, all set within Newfoundland’s spirited local communities. The CapeRace HIKE trip design is based on our award-winning “Eco-Culture Experience” tour, which carries through concepts that allow the traveler to travel at their own pace, on their own terms, while creating the opportunity to become involved in the local community. Return to the CapeRace Home Page>> How It All Works CapeRace HIKE provides you with options. The trip itinerary is yours. You make the decisions. During your seven night, eight day stay, you will have exclusive use of two newly restored, fully equipped coastal homes. We will provide you with a self-published guidebook that details world-class trails around Newfoundland’s Avalon and Bonavista Peninsulas. The guidebook will provide you with hiking and walking options ranging from relaxing 1-2 hour jaunts, up to more challenging daily hikes that extend to 5-6 hours. It’s your decision to hike all day, or to take a day off. The guidebook will also indicate the challenge level and recommended fitness level. Tips and notes on cultural activities, restaurants, and other wildlife sights are also offered should you choose to augment your trip. There will be a interpretive guide available should you decide to use one. And our hiking options are not confined to the wilderness. You can add variety to your trip by taking one of our recommended urban hikes. We provide you with a fully stocked refrigerator based on your personal order, so your dining options are extensive. Stay in, or dine out. Pack a lunch, or buy a lunch. Transfers will be at your beckoning call, ready to drop you off and pick you up on the trail as desired-- a car is not necessary. So-- the itinerary is yours. We provide you with trail recommendations and options, an interpretive guide should you decide to use one, a fully stocked fridge, and two beautifully restored coastal homes. All under your exclusive use, at your own pace, on your own terms. Where You Will Stay The newly restored Hipditch House>> is located in the historic Battery neighbourhood of St. John's, about a ten-minute walk from downtown.  The neighborhood, the oldest in St. John's, stretches along the bottom of Signal Hill towards the Narrows, looking out at the North Atlantic.   Although it is entirely within the city, the Battery Neighbourhood maintains the look and character of a 19th century fishing village.   While in Bonavista, you will stay in the Thomas Mouland House>> located in the historic Mockbeggar neighbourhood. The house was purchased from the Bonavista Historical Society in 2006, and the restoration was completed in 2007. Both Hipditch House and the Thomas Mouland House are exclusively yours for the duration of your stay, so there will not be any other travelers staying with you. You call the shots.
