Second summer that I do the trail with my kids and husband and it was super fun. It is really depends on the weather but if you are lucky enough with a clear day and the view is absolutely stunning. The trail is a bit challenging for little kids but I think that from the age of 7/8 it will be manageable. Good shoes/snickers are very recommended and maybe water shoes to dip your feet at the end of the trail (in the ocean). The trail is very clean and has a few view points with bunches to relax. We had a great time and will come bank next summer.

Magic. All the views are remarkable, for us the weather was amazing. The hike to the lookout was all up, but worth it :) but even without the lookout, I would recommend this hike. There are some steeper bits, but totally doable for a 50+, not in perfect shape, round bodied woman :)

Take the time to do this trail. I think it had some of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen on a hike before. Moderate difficulty, but easily doable if you take your time. It took us about 2.5 hrs from beginning to end but we also stopped on many of the benches and at many of the look outs to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and had a snack too.

What a beautiful trail. Scenic lookouts at every turn and even the interior views are lovely. Relatively easy trail with some moderately difficult areas. We stopped a lot for pictures and to enjoy the view so it took us about 2.5 hrs but I would say the walk itself is about 90 min. Worth every minute!

A moderate hike with short sections of climbing but relatively flat most of the way. Once you get close to the shoreline then the rewards reveal with stunning shoreline views and natural features. A must-do hike when you are in Cape Bonavista area of Newfoundland.

Highly recommend this trail for anyone and everyone. Took 3 hours total at a very leisurely pace. Tons of amazing lookouts and benches along the way. Saw a bald eagle as well!

A fantastic trail, moderate, while with lots to see, the magnificent port view, gorgeous costal line with cliffs, wild flowers and etc. It is 8km, we take photos all the way, so it takes us around 4 hours. It is a loop,next time I would rather not take the loop, will go to the end of the costal line and then return.

Stopped by here for lunch — the dining room is downstairs. Lots of seafood platters on the menu. I ordered the seafood sampler, which came with a bit of everything, all lightly pan-seared. To be honest, the price is higher and the food was tasteless; no seasoning, not even salt... The gallery upstairs has lots of souvenirs and puffin-themed designs. A lovely artisan store!

Not my first time here, group definitely enjoyed our meals! Delicious seafood chowder (I ordered the smaller size—generous!), and tried my first cod au gratin with tasty homemade fries. My partner eats gluten-free on account of celiac and very much enjoyed their GF fish and chips. Very friendly service, and a delightful gift shop upstairs!

I am extremely surprised by this lovely little gem in Trinity! We ordered the soup of the day, which happened to be turkey along with the "Treasure Chest". The soup was tasty, but my god, the assorted seafood that came with the Treasure Chest was divine! Some of the freshest cod fillets I've ever had, the scallops and shrimp were delicious as well. It was very crowded when we arrived and I felt that service was a bit slow but I'm willing to overlook it with the place being packed, would definitely come back again!

Mediocre onion rings for $10 to accompany moy $10 beer. Strange that i could not simply order a beer on the wonderful patio deck on a sunny afternoon. Unfortunately, you must order food under the local liquor license and had to have onion rings to get an Overpriced beer. $10 beer, $10 rings, tax + tip =$27 later... ouch.

Beautiful location, great fish and chips, fish cakes were slightly fishy(still fresh not in a bad way), service was on the slower side and the patio was not open for service. Also overheard they didn’t do take out.

This is a simple local Resto over looking the bay. We tried the cod tongues as an appetizer which were nice. We enjoyed the scallops. We had crab claws but we’ve had better…they are not in season now (Aug 30) we found out after the fact. We also had the seafood chowder which is super rich and think. The waitress was very friendly with the local accent we enjoy hearing.

Didn't actually eat there as it wasn't open at the time of day. Bought some chocolate from a nearby vendor. Yummy.

Only giving 5 stars because it won't let me give more. Rooms, breakfast, and staff were nothing but top notch! We knew going into our 3 hour excursion that the odds were not in our favour to see any whales this late in the season, and we didn't! However, it was worth every penny and more. Captain Steve, still amazed us with an amazing boat/Kodiak ride with some history of the area, people, land scape, stories, soaring Eagles, and puffins!! Thank you Captain Steve, and Shannon for making our visit an unforgettable experience. We'll definitely be returning!!

Our stay was wonderful, the room was lovely and breakfast was delicious. The next morning we embarked on a whale tour with Skipper Steve where we saw many amazing sights, although the whales never appeared. On our way back through Trinity we stopped in again and this time Skipper Bob took us out and we saw multiple gorgeous humpbacks! All of the Skippers were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about mutual respect with the animals. Would definitely recommend the lodge and tours!

The whale watching tour on July 26 was one to remember! While it took a while to find the whales on a foggy day, we were finally blessed with close whale encounters among the two boats from Trinity Eco-Tours that were out at the same time. The first encounter consisted of two humpback whales feeding side by side for about 20-25 minutes. They then began to frolic in the ocean for another 10 - 15 minutes with breaches and fin slaps of the water as they played right near our two boats. They were clearly enjoying themselves. On the way back to the dock, another adult humpback whale provided endless viewing and observation of its fin slapping behavior within 5 to 50 feet of our boat. We enjoyed this interaction for about 15 - 20 minutes. The close-up whale encounters were so special that the boat captains extended our trip as much as they could to allow all of us to enjoy the experience. That we appreciated! We got lucky on our whale watching tour, and the boat captains said it was a special one.

We had a lovely time with Trinity Eco-tours. We stayed in the bird house and I found the accommodations excellent, the bed was comfortable, the shower had great pressure and the building was charming. The breakfast in the morning was great and included with the room. We only saw one whale on our tour, but the guide provided good information and did his best to give everyone a look. With the lack of whales, the guide did still make good use of the time, and toured us along the gorgeous coastline and took us out to see a breeding colony of puffins.

We had a fantastic stay at Trinity Eco-Tours and Lodge. The house is a charming century-old building that has been recently renovated, so it combines historic character with modern comfort. Our room was clean, cozy, and much more comfortable than we expected from such an old home. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Trinity and just steps away from the whale watching tour. The tour itself was the highlight of our trip: we saw several whales and pods of dolphins up close, which was absolutely magical. Huge thanks to Shannon for her warm hospitality and helpful tips, and to skipper Steve for guiding us through the waters with so much knowledge and enthusiasm. Both were incredibly friendly and professional, and they made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended if you're looking for a unique stay in Trinity with the bonus of an amazing eco-tour!

We stayed in the bird lodge and went on an ocean safari tour as part of our honeymoon and it was one of the best parts of our trip. We lucked out into having the tour booked for a day when a pod of Orcas were in the bay- which is apparently a very rare occurrence. The staff were so passionate and enthusiastic about this experience that we became even more understanding and in awe of what we were able to witness on the water that day. The staff did all that they could to provide us with an experience like no other! The bird lodge was advertised as being the more economic option of the two lodges, which was partially why we picked it. Although the room did not have a TV, it was very new and extremely clean. We had the Eagle's Nest, which had its own separate entry with a garden out front. This was such a gorgeous space to have access to, we even spent one evening lying on the grass and star gazing. It was so lovely to chat with the staff in the morning as we enjoyed our complementary breakfast. They truly went above and beyond in their interactions with us and we felt so welcomed. Also, as a queer and trans couple, they were all very respectful in every interaction we had- which is always a concern while traveling, but did not need to be with this crowd! I would recommend these tours and the lodge to anyone and everyone!

We booked a stay at the Lodge and a tour and we were thrilled with both. The staff are warm and friendly and so helpful. Check in was a breeze. The room we had was beautifully restored and had a gorgeous ocean view. The bed was so comfortable and the amenities were great. Breakfast was included and was delicious. Then we met Skipper Steve and went for a tour around Trinity Bay. Our guide was knowledgeable and told us about the history of the area. He showed us the magnificent beauty of NL’s rugged coast. We didn’t see whales as it seems they had started their migration early but there was plenty to see. We did manage to see a few puffins as that season had also ended early—possible sign of a hard winter coming. Fantastic place to stay and an amazing experience. Thank you so much Trinity EcoTours!

Amazing experience. Initially I was scared to get into a small boat but it’s a very stable zodiac, we were 10-11 folks with captain Chris. It’s a wonderful feeling to see such majestic bodies. We got to see 4 different sperm whales, 4 dolphins, puffins, couple of bald eagles. Kris is an amazing guide who knew so much about whales. Thank you for creating such great memories.

Wow what a day! I can’t say enough about how awesome our guide was. You could tell he was so passionate about the whales and did everything to make the most out of our time. We saw 6 different sperm whales and 7 different sightings. Some were about 15ft away from the boat. We also got to see 50-100 puffins flying around which was extremely cool to witness. Could not be more worth the money. I was a bit scared of being on a smaller boat but it’s very stable and doesn’t feel like anything different from boating on the lake. Best day ever!!!

A person could not ask for a better experience! Sea of Whales met all expectations with up close viewings of sperms whales, harbour seals, icebergs and the incredible landscapes that the area has to offer. Chris is an amazing host, guide and entertainer! We were all comfortable and felt very safe aboard the well equipped Zodiac. The tour created "forever" memories that will be cherished. Thank you Sea of Whales! " Thar she blows, sperm whale at 11 o'clock"!

What a special and amazing experience Our Sea of Whales trip was very special indeed as we saw Humpbacks, Sperm whales, Fin whales, Dolphins and Bald Eagles. We were close enough to be able to take great photographs and video from my phone, as well as my camera. Our guide Kris was so engaging and informative and his knowledge and shared enthusiasm was appreciated by everyone.

I've been on a few whale watching tours and this was by far the best. Captain Kris was such a fantastic captain and guide, super friendly and knowledgeable. Getting to see Humpbacks breach was so insanely cool and the highlight of our entire trip!

By far the highlight of our trip! ✨✨✨ We spent the afternoon with Chris and saw multiple humpback whales, some coming right up to the boat! We also saw some puffins and bald eagles! Everyone is very knowledgeable and friendly, making us all feel welcome. It was a great day and I highly recommend it to anyone. We will be back next time we visit Newfoundland!

Friendly, incredibly well-organized, and expertly executed! We arrived 15 minutes early for our 1 PM tour and were warmly greeted by our experienced and incredibly knowledgeable captain, Chris. He got us suited up in survival gear (thank goodness — we would’ve frozen our butts off without it!). Chris led us and five other couples on more than 3.5 hours of unforgettable adventure. We spotted puffins, a Minke whale, and even a harp seal — which we named Susan, after myself, because I spotted her (them’s the rules!). And of course, the pièce de résistance: mammoth icebergs that left us in awe. Chris’s deep knowledge of the region, its wildlife, and the icebergs was impressive, and he kept us entertained with humorous stories and fascinating local lore throughout the trip. I cannot recommend Sea of Whales Adventures highly enough!

Truly amazing. We stayed in room 10 in the main house with amazing views from all windows (there were a lot!). Very comfortable with amazing touches that showed just how much the owners cared about their guests experience. We had a dinner there - make sure you reserve it as it’s more than worth it. We also had a breakfast which was stellar. If I was going back I would have all my breakfasts there. Well located and the trails and area are so beautiful it takes your breath away. Can’t say enough about this gem of a place. Well done!

Stayed for 2 nights in a ground floor suite and loved everything about this place. The views of the town and water from everywhere on the property are amazing. Its so quiet and beautiful there. My 6 year old loved roaming the paths that connect the different buildings. One thing I haven't seen reviews note is that the restaurant has a small bar so if you don't want a full dinner you can still stop by and have a drink in the bar area or the lounge room or bring it onto the deck and enjoy the view.

We always enjoy our stay at The Fishers’ loft. The attention to detail makes for a unique experience… from the walking trails throughout the grounds to the curated reading list in your room. The food is delicious and we ended up trying something new with the set menu. 10/10! We had a cocktail on the step waiting for dinner and the view is unmatched. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a boutique style bed and breakfast experience.

We spent three days at the Fisher's Loft Inn, and were tremendously impressed with everything about it. Our suite included a separate living room, and was lovely. Dining was absolutely superb, featuring local ingredients, some grown at the Inn. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location offers stunning views and easy access to a wonderful hike on the Skerwink Trail.

Fisher’s Loft is set in a gorgeous location with stunning views, beautiful rooms and delicious locally sourced food. The family that runs this Inn are such genuine, kind and hospitable people. We were here for a wedding 11 years ago with my family and so excited to have the opportunity to come back. And of course they remembered us! It has to be the best place to stay in Newfoundland to experience the perfect trifecta of delicious food, beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodations.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights while exploring the Trinity Bight. The property is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing, and the views of the surrounding Port Rexton community are stellar. Our room had a breathtaking view, and it was comfortable and well appointed. We hiked the Skerwink trail right from the front door, and took day trips around to hike other trails, see puffins etc. Everyone on the staff we encountered was friendly and helpful, wonderful to speak with and had great recommendations. The dinner and breakfast were fantastic too. Incredible local fish, vegetables, jams, you name it. Staying here was a wonderful experience!

From the moment we arrived, we were delighted by our experience at Fishers’ Loft. Michelle greeted us warmly at reception, our room was just lovely and well-appointed, dinner in the main restaurant was wonderful and the grounds/views were extraordinary. It’s the perfect location to access the sights in the area - Trinity, Elliston and Bonavista - and of course the trails. We would highly recommend a stay here. Plan for at least two nights, or treat yourself to more!

Pros: Wooded campsites on a Brook. Lovely swimming area in day use. Comfort station. Some Serviced sites. Friendly Staff. Fire pits On site. Bagged wood available. Water on Every site. Scenic area. Cons: Comfort station is not centrally located. But black flies were very bad when we were there. Take a dirt road to get there.

This is my first camping experience. The ranger here is very nice and welcome as I arrived late. Check in is pretty smooth and you will get all the information you need. The comfort station in the campground saved my night. I will definitely recommend this campsite. Firewood is CASH ONLY.

Great place to go camping with beautiful pond to go swimming, kayaking, or fishing there’s also hiking trails you can do here😀.

Great park with private tent sites, super clean bathrooms, only issue is tent sites with gravel coverage as the gravel really does not hold tent pegs well! However a major bonus to have a water tap at each site! 10$ cash only wood

This review concerns the camping not the park itself. If you intend on spending a quiet evening then this camping is not for you. The amount of campers with a generator is unbelievable. All this to power up their stupid Xmas lights or their kids iPad (they allow them until 11h00pm). Get a solar panel for God's sake! If you have to camp there, get a site with electricity, it will put you further away from these generators and closer to the restrooms and showers which are at the very end of the camping loop. Restrooms & showers are clean. Privacy is ok. We will go back to visit the region but not this camping.

This is a lovely park to visit. I only gave it a 4 as we visited during pouring rain and there is about 5km of gravel, mud, potholed road to reach it. My vehicles were caked with mud when we left. But it is adventure, no? We liked the easy access to things and the only park out on the Bonavista Peninsula. We also camped out at Elliston Municipal Park and preferred that to Lockston. Easy access to Trinity which is definitely worth the visit but certainly can easily drive to the end of Bonavista as well. We love the Rexton Brewery Beers but did not actually visit the Brewery which is just up the road. Port Union was a disappointment. There are some hiking paths but again, the weather was bad and we did not hike there but spent our time at Trinity and out at Bonavista. We were not really there much other than to park and sleep!

Park is a nice visit with varying styles of camping sites available. The beach is small but still nice with tables etc. Park staff were friendly and comfort station provided most of what would be needed. Cell reception is incredibly poor and wifi that was offered at a separate station did not work. The road in is not ideal but otherwise a good spot to stay for visiting around the area.

The start of the trail up to Gun Hill Lookout is on Station Rd. Park across the street from the church, then walk up the hill on Station Rd. to the trailhead. It's a short hike, less than 10 minutes. At the end, there are stairs up to the lookout. It is a great view, and there are cannons! We were also greeted by a cute friendly rabbit on the way back. ☺️

Great hike. Spectacular views. Easy to moderate in difficulty.

Beautiful hiking area! Great friendly locals! Love it!

Beautiful views!

What a fantastic place to relax and enjoy! Myself and 3 friends were very comfortable. Everything we needed was there and owners were available at anytime if we needed anything. The ice maker, coffee, water cooler, washer, dryer, pots, cooking utensils.... everything was at our fingtips and we could have just walked in and not packed anything. It was very clean and spacious. Highly recommend for anyone!

This was our third visit to the Trinity Baycation, and once again, it exceeded our expectations! Our stay was a peaceful retreat, with a perfect balance of luxury and relaxation. Whether enjoying the hot tub, kayaking, paddle boarding, or simply soaking in the stunning views, the experience was unforgettable. The location and amenities were top-notch. If you're seeking a family getaway or a weekend escape, this is the ideal spot. The hosts, Saba and Yassir, were wonderful, and communication was seamless. Looking forward to returning next year!

We stayed at a number of places this summer & this one was by far the best one. So much room, everything was labelled for easy access & they have literally thought of every single detail & soo much is provided. Walking sticks, backpacks, firepit blankets. Roasting sticks even condiments. We had a fire & enjoyed looking at the stars, and both nights we ended it off by relaxing in the hot tub, and when we got out we had warm towels with the provided towel warmer!! I never sleep very good anywhere but my own bed. But let me tell ya the king size bed upstairs was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and the best night sleep I have gotten in a long time!!

We had a lovely stay here! Beautiful accommodations in a little cove, great for a family group. There was a hot tub, beach access, kayaks/boats provided, comfortable beds, ample seating, large TV, I don't think there's much more you could ask for. Very accommodating to small children as well; there were two toddler beds, a change table as well as a pack and play provided and little chairs outside. Our 2 year old loved it! Note that one of the bedrooms is a bit open and you do have to walk through it to access the King bedroom. This is not a big deal though and is clearly stated on the website. Owners were really great to communicate with and highly recommend messaging them for the best rate!! Very reasonable.

What more could you ask for? The perfect late fall weekend getaway! They have thought of everything here to make any stay the most enjoyable. So accommodating and the views are amazing. Sunrise and sunset views from the hot tub 😍, will definitely be back!

Just finishing up our stay at Trinity Baycation Rental and I cannot say enough great things about this place. We have stayed in a few Airbnbs around the province and this place by far has gone above and beyond what you'd ever expect from a vacation rental. Beautiful view of the ocean from a sheltered cove so you get the sights without a nasty wind. Pretty killer view for your morning coffee and evening drink. We stayed with three couples, two teenagers, and little kid + toddler. Enough space for everyone and the little toddler spaces were a bonus. We moved one of the toddler beds out and put in our pack and play - worked perfectly. We brought our own pack and play but there was actually one already here! They also have a potty seat, high chair, games, tv + streaming services, fans in all the rooms, air purifier, towel warmer, laundry, Bluetooth speaker and everything you need in the kitchen. Added bonus of chocolate chip cookie dough in the freezer all ready to bake! Oh also kayaks, paddle board and HOT TUB! Was perfect for a summer stay but I can see this being a dreamy fall/winter stay as well. Snag this place if you can!

We had an amazing weekend! Would recommend to anyone looking to have a good time with family, friends or even a romantic get away! Yassir & Saba are the best hosts.

Large selection of beer on tap. Really cool building inside and out. Large outdoor patios to sit on front and back and lots of seating inside as well. My son enjoyed playing the old school mortal kombat arcade game. If you live close, fill a growler to take home for best value!

Lovely spot open year round, great beer and awesome food from the food truck. The taproom had very cool decor.

We stopped here on a cold and rainy Tuesday night. The beer was delicious and reasonably priced. Seating was cozy - great ambiance with candles and a fireplace. Great merch available as well. Make sure to visit if you are in the area!

At the recommendation of my daughter, we came here for a flight of beers and a grilled cheese sandwich. I had the old cheddar and blueberry jam - really, really good. It impressed me so much I tried to replicate it the next day at the two whales cafe which was a total fail in comparison. The flights were really good and I especially liked the sour. We sat at a large table and got talking to a young couple from St. John’s who gave us great recommendations as to what to see in the area.

Great brewery! Really nice space, there’s a lot of seating both inside and outside and both have a great atmosphere. They have a nice selection of brews which were all pretty tasty and the grilled cheese and fries were a nice addition. They also had an open mic and some live music which made for a nice night!

Awesome that they had NA beer on tap. I was reluctant to try the NA stout, but it was really a fantastic beer.

Absolutely worth the drive to Port Rexton. Gorgeous and cozy old building with a roaring wood stove. Super delish craft beer and a grilled cheese food truck that will leave you grinning and stuffed to the gills!
