I visited Mistaken Point in October 2016.

Mistaken Point is home to the oldest multicellular fossils on Earth. They are found in a thin layer of rock which is right on the Atlantic Coast.

While the site can be visited on a day trip out of St. John's, there are several things you should know before you go, as they could ruin your trip.

The most important thing to know is that you can only access the fossils on a group tour which starts at the Mistaken Point visitor center.

Also, only a small part of the Mistake Point Ecological Reserve is part of the world heritage site.
