New!! Marble Zip Tours ... at Marble Mountain

We are CrazyAboutNewfoundland.com ... Are you?

A new adventure (& fun!) attraction is to open next year in Western Newfoundland, at the base of Marble Mountain. It is "Marble Zip Tours" and located close to the "My Newfoundland Adventures" kiosk.

The tour includes six zip lines across Marble Mountain Gorge directly above Steady Brook Falls! And using their words ... "Feel the adrenaline pump through your veins as you zig zag down the gorge soaring from platform to platform along zip lines up to 800′ long and 300′ high, at speeds up to 80 km/hr".

I for one can't wait to get up there!!! Find out more at MarbleZipTours.com

Rafting down the Humber River ...


We met Marty of MyNewfoundland.ca today, and he encouraged us to try the river rafting sunset trip ... for which we were easily convinced and signed up for ... The trip leaves just west of Marble Mountain, and it was a pleasant surprise to find a picnic basket, cheese platter, and two bottles of champagne in an ice bucket! (Though it was shared across the whole crew!) Its about an hour and a half to two hour sedate cruise down to the edge of Corner Brook - then again the duration and sedateness can change depending on your athletic abilities or wants that day... lets just say, ours was sedate!
