Ride through downtown Corner Brook in an ATV designed for adventure before traveling into the wilds on the outskirts of town where the scenery will become even more dramatic.

After assessing the conditions and traffic, the driver will choose the most scenic and exhilarating route and provide entertaining commentary about the key landmarks. You may pass the mouth of the Humber River, beautiful sheltered coves and the monument to Captain James Cook, the British explorer that surveyed this area in the 1760s. Once you head off-road, you will ride through parts of Corner Brook that few visitors ever see. As a special treat, you will stop at an ice cream shop.

Behold the natural beauty of Corner Brook while riding a chairlift high above the slopes of Marble Mountain and drop by a pub for an unusual ceremony known as a screech-in. The Lightning Express ski lift – which is used for sightseeing in the summer – will carry you to the summit. Despite its name, the chair lift will run at half speed so you can fully appreciate the natural beauty. The higher you go, the more spectacular the views of the Bay of Islands, Humber Valley and the distant Long Range Mountains. From the top, more than 1,700 feet above sea level, you will enjoy the ultimate panoramic view. You will also descend on the ski lift to Bishop’s Tavern, where you can become an “Honorary Newfoundlander” by participating in a traditional Screech-In ceremony. It involves downing a shot of rum – known as “screech” for the reaction it often elicits – repeating a short recitation and kissing a frozen cod on the lips.

Enjoy the coastal beauty of nearby Peggy’s Cove, a rustic fishing village with just a few dozen full-time residents. You will arrive via the Lighthouse Route, a road that winds through dramatic rock formations that eroding glaciers left in their wakes millions of years ago.

Regardless of where you meander, chances are you will see lobster traps, as lobstering is essential to the local economy.
