Discover Newfoundland & Labrador

If you're drawn to dramatic coastlines, rich maritime history and abundant wildlife, Newfoundland and Labrador will capture your imagination. Join Expedition Leader Anthony Mallinson for a virtual journey through Canada’s easternmost province. Watch whales and puffins on private boat tours, explore fjords and sea cliffs, and connect with the people who’ve lived in these remote communities for generations. From Gros Morne’s ancient geology to restored fishing villages, this small-group trip offers an unforgettable blend of nature, culture and coastal charm.

Journey to Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site along Newfoundland’s rugged west coast. This is an extraordinary landscape of vertiginous cliffs, icy fjords, sandy beaches, boreal forests and the Tablelands, where you can stand on the Earth’s exposed mantle. Expedition Leader Anthony Mallinson describes the park’s unique geology (it was here that the theory of plate tectonics was confirmed!) and details some of the wildlife we hope to see on our new Discover Newfoundland & Labrador adventure, including moose, caribou, black bear, and Arctic and red fox.

Caribou – known as “reindeer” in Europe and Asia -- have lived in North America for nearly 2 million years and are one of the few megafauna species to survive the last ice age. These ungulates boast incredible adaptations to the cold, like the ability to see ultraviolet light and muzzles that can alter air temperature by nearly 100 degrees! Expedition Leader Anthony Mallinson gives a crash course in caribou, including their importance in Indigenous cultures, the differences between subspecies, and the threat climate change poses to these icons of the Arctic.
