Discover Newfoundland

• Explore the fjords, forests, bogs and beaches of magnificent Gros Morne National Park
• Discover Newfoundland’s traditional fishing villages and unique maritime culture
• Cruise remote rocky coastlines where whales play and vast seabird colonies thrive

Canada’s most easterly province of Newfoundland is indeed a realm of newfound discovery for travelers. Its rugged landscapes, profuse wildlife and rich history and culture combine to create a wealth of surprises for adventurers seeking a natural encounter outside more well-trodden destinations. Here, the world’s largest summer population of humpback whales plies the waters off the Avalon Peninsula; 35 million seabirds, including huge puffin colonies, adorn the cliffs of myriad islands; and inland, moose, caribou and bald eagles inhabit the northern forest. From the 400-year-old capital of St. John’s to far-flung bays and dramatic coastlines, Newfoundland offers new realms for exploration.

Important Information about This Trip

From the oldest city in the New World to the remote and rugged cliffs lined with sea birds, Newfoundland is a fascinating land. On this adventure we attempt to take in the varying attributes of Newfoundland, from internationally acclaimed Gros Morne National Park to the southern city of St. John’s to the wildlife-rich coastline, without rushing (although some long drives are involved). Please be aware that our itinerary may change due to changes in flight schedules. We recommend spending additional time on your own in St. John’s after the tour, to enjoy plenty of time in this lively city of inviting walks and colorful historic houses, tucked among rivers, hills and valleys. Call us for assistance with extra hotel nights.
