From whale-filled bays and lofty sea cliffs to colorful fishing villages and icy fjords, Newfoundland & Labrador is home to some of Canada’s most spectacular coastal scenery and wildlife. Expedition Leader Anthony Mallinson shares the highlights of our small-group adventure in Canada’s remote easternmost province, where we encounter puffins and whales on private boat tours, explore the ancient landscapes of Gros Morne National Park and connect with maritime communities along the coast. Discover what makes this region so distinctive, from its rugged natural beauty to its resilient culture and warm hospitality.

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.

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 Puffins, Whales & Wildlife of Newfoundland & Labrador adventure, including moose, caribou, black bear, and Arctic and red fox.
