Newfoundland will introduce you to enchanting landscapes, unforgettable marine life and some of the oldest settlements on the continent.

You’ll start by driving into St. John’s, a city full of history, colourful houses and infectious energy. Here, in Newfoundland’s capital, you’ll visit historic sites and quaint pubs, enjoy long walks and a world-class wildlife experience on a puffin and whale watching tour. You then visit Trinity Bay on the east coast, where you’ll be able to explore coastal trails and go iceberg watching, before heading to your architecturally astonishing cabin in remote Fogo Island.

The last part of your journey will bring you to Newfoundland’s western coast where you will marvel at the magical landscape of Gros Morne National Park. A scenic lake tour will reveal the park’s marine life and intense beauty of its bays, beaches and Long Range Mountains.
