Guided Tour #2:
|
Nature
/ Adventure |
($4
per person; no tax) |
Late summer is an ideal time to take the Nature/Adventure
Guided Tour;
the land is bountiful with berries, such as with these
gooseberries.
Seabirds… whales…
rare and endangered plants… coastal limestone
barrens… icebergs… hiking trails…
moose… caribou… amazing geology….
and the adventure has just begun!
The Nature / Adventure Guided Tour will take you into
an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. Leaving the
Bird Cove Interpretation Centre, a gentle hike will
first bring you to Flat Bottom; a saltwater estuary.
The geological formations here MUST be touched! You
can literally run your fingers ‘inside’
the scars that glaciers left approximately 11,000 years
ago, as they receded from this place.

Geological formations are but a touch away!
Crossing over the estuary on a beautiful wooden bridge,
with your tour guide you will venture onto the Dog Peninsula;
once known as Dog Island in another time. From here…you
will be inclined to make a few choices…or you
may have to stay for a week to enjoy it all. Where do
your interests lie? Plant identification and interpretation…rock
hounding…hiking…beach combing…nature
photography…past cultures????

A two hour hike out on the Dog Peninsula,
with our tour guide, will reward you with an opportunity
to touch an 18th century navigational/chart making
aid.
You will discover a little bit of each,
as the Nature /Adventure Guided Tour meanders along
the trails and beaches of the Dog Peninsula.
