Fish Processing Plant
Once home to a booming fishing industry, the north coast of the Bay of Islands still boasts a fish-processing plant that hints at the region's former prosperity. Step inside to learn about fish harvesting and processing and listen to fascinating stories about the infamous 1992 cod moratorium, responsible for the largest industrial closure in Canadian history.
Cultural Performance and Square Dance
Enjoy an interpretation of local dance culture, mainly square dance and step dance. Newfoundlanders are known for their friendly hospitality, so feel free to kick up your heels with the locals.
What you will see along the way:
Set off from Corner Brook to the north coast of the Bay of Islands on a guided drive filled with folklore and fabled scenery as far as the eye can see. Gaze upon a backdrop of spectacular natural surroundings including rocky coastline, marvelous fjords, dense forests and a sprinkling of offshore islands. Stop to see why the area is nicknamed "the Galapagos of plate tectonics" and take in beautiful waterfront vistas.
Photo Opportunities:
Rock Formations
Much of the area's fame comes from a massive extrusion of the earth's mantle which thrust to the surface more than 450 million years ago. Stop to photograph one of the four protrusions that pushed through the crust giving the region its nickname, "the Galapagos of plate tectonics."
Waterfront Landscapes
A stroll along the waterfront is the perfect opportunity to capture memories of the brightly painted fishing dories bobbing in the waters. Keep an eye out for a Newfoundland dog along the way.

A sampling of unique culinary delicacies is an opportunity to learn more about Newfoundland's culinary history through its freshest ingredients.
