Bonavista was the landfall of John Cabot, who exclaimed “Buenavista” upon his first view in 1497.

The town has restored much of its historic properties, including the ‘Ryan Premises’ which serves as a brilliant interpretive site for our inshore fishery. We’ll walk the cliffs at Cape Bonavista, the “Dungeons”, and the ‘Root Cellar Capital of the World’.
