Discover the World One Step at a Time

Some destinations are meant to be seen. Others are meant to be experienced.


While scenic drives showcase beautiful landscapes, hiking allows you to become part of them. It invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and discover places that can't be appreciated from a motorcoach window. Whether you're standing atop a dramatic coastal cliff, wandering through a peaceful forest, or following a historic trail, hiking creates a deeper connection to the places you visit.


At DeNure Tours, we believe some of the best adventures begin with a single step.


More Than Just Great Exercise


Hiking is one of the most enjoyable ways to stay active while travelling. Every trail offers a natural workout, helping to improve cardiovascular health, build strength, increase balance, and boost endurance. Uneven terrain gently engages muscles and joints in ways that paved sidewalks simply can't.


But the benefits extend well beyond physical fitness.


Time spent outdoors has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and sharpen the mind. Away from the constant distractions of daily life, hiking encourages you to focus on the sights, sounds, and beauty surrounding you. The fresh air, the scent of the forest, the sound of crashing waves, or the quiet of a mountain trail all have a remarkable way of refreshing both body and mind.


See More Than the Average Traveller


Some of the world's most memorable places are found at the end of a trail.


Hiking leads to hidden waterfalls, breathtaking viewpoints, rugged coastlines, alpine meadows, and charming villages that many visitors never experience. It offers a perspective that simply isn't possible from behind the window of a vehicle.


Whether you're exploring the rugged beauty of Newfoundland, walking historic routes in Europe, or discovering Canada's spectacular national parks, hiking allows you to experience each destination at its own pace while appreciating the details that make it unique.


The Joy of Exploring Together


One of the greatest rewards of hiking is sharing the experience.


Travelling with fellow hikers creates opportunities to meet new people, celebrate accomplishments, and make lasting memories together. Whether you're reaching a scenic lookout, spotting wildlife, or simply enjoying conversation along the trail, the journey often becomes just as meaningful as the destination.


Many guests tell us that the friendships they make are among the highlights of their hiking adventures.


Hiking with DeNure Tours


Our hiking tours are designed for travellers who enjoy combining active exploration with comfortable travel.


Each itinerary has been thoughtfully planned to showcase spectacular scenery, fascinating history, local culture, and rewarding hikes. Along the way, our experienced Tour Directors handle the logistics so you can focus on enjoying every step of the journey.

We encourage guests to review the activity level for each tour to ensure it matches their comfort level and hiking experience.


Where Will the Trail Take You?


Whether you're standing beside a powerful waterfall, gazing across a dramatic coastline, or reaching a panoramic mountain viewpoint, hiking has a way of turning unforgettable scenery into unforgettable memories.

St. Johns, Newfoundland's friendly capital

By Website Editor • May 26, 2021
No trip to Newfoundland is complete without visiting its capital St. John’s. This inviting city is the perfect combination of big-city luxury and small-town charm. And as the oldest and most easterly city in North America, it is also where history lives. Visitors will delight in wandering the narrow, criss-crossing streets carved by horse and carriage over 100 years ago. Many pictures have been snapped of the colourful jellybean row houses wedged together in hidden alleyways and along the city’s steep hills. You’ll be amazed by the famous Battery, where tiny wooden homes still cling valiantly to cliffs ravaged by ocean waves. And hovering over the Battery is Signal Hill and the unmistakable Cabot Tower that guards the summit. It was here in 1901 that Marconi famously received his first wireless transmission across the Atlantic. But in addition to the museums, shops and attractions that you would expect to find in a capital city, St. John’s is located on the water. In fact, the province features over 29,000 kilometres of pristine coastline, enough to stretch back and forth across Canada four times. And there's no better way to enjoy it than by boat. Sail along the shore enjoying its rugged beauty, and encounter natural wonders like whales, icebergs, and seabirds. In fact, many visitors have caught a glimpse of a humpback playfully frolicking or breaching high into the air. Friendly and curious creatures, whales are known to surface just a few metres from tour boats. During spring and early summer, you might also cross paths with a 10,000-year-old iceberg drifting down Iceberg Alley on a southerly migration from Greenland. And keep an eye out for the puffins, kittiwakes, and gannets that reside in the many cliffs, crags, inlets, and islands around the coast, and on the ocean itself. For the nature lover, a trip out to the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve is a must. Comprised of four small islands, this reserve is one of nature's greatest wonders anywhere on earth. In summer, it is home to millions of seabirds that come to shore to nest and raise their young on the four islands. Of course, despite all of this, what you’ll remember most about your trip to Newfoundland, is the people. Friendly faces greet you at every turn, people proud of their history, and eager to make you one of their own.
