Gorgeous vistas and fresh ocean air make this a wonderful hike. Beautifully maintained trails really help show off how proud Fogo Island and Newfoundland are of their great outdoors.

We hiked the Great Auk trail on Joe Batt’s Arm; Turpin’s Trail and Oliver’s Cove in Tilting and Brimstone Head in Fogo and Lions Den, also in Fogo, was our favourite. If you’re fit and not stopping for photos, you can do it in about 40 minutes. It took the three of us, ages 13-55 an hour and a half, both times. We did it clockwise and counterclockwise and clockwise is better because you’re walking into better views. Bring bug spray and sun block and at least half a litre of water per person — a litre would be better. I love this hike because of the views, but also because it takes you through forest, marsh and coast. Don’t miss it!

My wife and I hiked this trail last September, however I was unable to post here due to the fact I didn't know the address of the trail. So, to the trail itself. We began by wandering through a forest that was cool and inviting. Then on to the pastures and meadows that approach the sea. The trail was very good for walking with a couple of rough sections and many "improved" sections with stairs and boardwalks. As we approached the shore, I realized that this place was unique to our 6 week experience in NFLD. On that particular day the power of the ocean was in full display and the fact that the sun shone over everything gave us a spectacular show. I feel that I could have brought a tent and sleeping bag and spent a couple of days mesmorized by what I was experiencing. If you are on Fogo Island, this is a must do hike.

We had a great tour and guide given by a lady born and raised on the island. She knew her stuff and had a friendly personality. The upstairs is stage as it was back in the full fishery mode. I learned a great deal here about the resettlement process and the establishment of the Coop.

This trail is mostly flat with a few inclines on a few boardwalks but mostly paths, rocks, stones, boulders. The topography changes often with a variety of different stone formations, small bogs, ponds, stunning views of waves crashing along the shoreline. There is a bronze statue of a Great Auk, an extinct flightless bird that resembled a penguin located near the end of the trail. You will see a sign for the statue and a sign for a beacon. You will also see the Long Artist Studio located on the first km. BEAU-TI-FUL!
