10 Reviews Leaving from Pier 7 in St Johns Harbour, this boat tour takes you out of the inner harbour in St John's out to the open bay and circles around a few Icebergs that have settled in the area. Boat trip is 2 hours approx. Bring a jacket even in summer as it can get quite windy out in the open bay! The...

18 Reviews Buskers are relatively new in Newfoundland and Labrador. I seen a little of the 2nd Annual Festival on August 5, 2007. I didn't realize why there was so much activity when I arrived downtown and it was because of the festival. It was very well attended. International, national and local performers...
3 Reviews Cape Spear is the most easterly point of North America and is located outside of St John's along a beautiful coastal road. There is an impressive lighthouse at Cape Spear.

3 Reviews We set sail on a clear day at Bay Bulls through it's harbor and onward out to sea. Our hosts were a lively bunch who sang tunes of New Foundland and St. John's throughout our tour. We saw a few Icebergs floating some of them were noticably larger on the underside and liquid blue water shone through...

3 Reviews You have to do a little hunting to find this place off of Freshwater Road but definetly worth the find. We had a bit of a wait due to the fact that we came in right on the lunch rush but we were seated right away by the very friendly staff there. The interior was painted baby blue and has an airy...
2 Reviews Don Cherry's is a great spot to catch all the hockey, baseball, football and basketball games on big screen and in booth televisions. The staff and atmosphere are great. Seeing the game you want should not be a problem at all. There is generally a wing's night every week. If you are into Sport's...
2 Reviews The Keg is one of the newer restuarants in town. I've eaten dinner there twice now, and both times it's been fabulous! The steaks are cooked just right. I've tasted the seafood dishes, and they were delicious as well.

jamiesno Says: The St. John's Ice Caps are the newest hockey team in the city. They play in the AHL and are the NHL farm team for the Winnipeg Jets. I took in a game on January 15, 2012 and had ice level seats and it was the first time I've ever been so close and it was a great...
