This boat tour is located in Mobile, about 10 minutes past Bay Bulls and 40 minutes outside of St. John’s. They offer two different tours: a 2.5-hour standard tour and a 2-hour zodiac tour. If you’re taking a boat tour, there are some that don’t require you to put on a life jacket (though they do have them on board, of course.)

That’s why I can’t wait to read Karen Silver’s new book, Come On We Goes is an anthology of children’s stories, written by Newfoundland author Karen Silver.

So when Alt Hotel opened their newest location in central downtown St. John’s, I knew I had to check it out. Perched on the corner of Water Street and Prescott Street, Alt Hotel is a perfect spot for experiencing the best that St. John’s has to offer. Alt Hotel is perfectly located for anyone who is looking to experience local St. John’s shopping, restaurants, and culture. It’s within an arm’s reach of pretty much everything you want in a downtown St. John’s stay, and if you can’t walk there, they’ll help you find a way.

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to do both on the same day, that’s great! My best asset for travelling as an introvert is having a way to center yourself when you feel in over your head.
