Newfoundland & Labrador
Home to the Inuit and their predecessors for thousands of years, you can experience their culture and hospitality along with the humour and storytelling.
Labrador and Newfoundland is sparsely populated with 181,000, a third of the population, living in the capital St Johns, offering a huge diversity of scenery from Arctic Tundra, mountains, and fjords to quaint fishing villages.
The Torgnat Mountains National park offers nearly 10,000 square kilometres of wilderness with no roads and no signs telling you where to go or what to see, just acres of space to explore. Polar Bears inhabit the northern regions and you can encounter black bears and moose as you head further south. You can be assured of a warm welcome, a good yarn and some great music and it’s closer than you think.
Great Drives
Self-Drive Journey in Newfoundland
Buckle up for a leisurely self-drive journey around the Canadian island of Newfoundland, renowned for its collection of diverse landscapes and fascinating viking history. Navigate the sparsely populated island in search of its warm hospitality and incredible wildlife, embarking on whale-watching expeditions, floating Iceberg Alley and discovering artefacts dating to 1000 AD.
Cruises and Voyages
Sail Greenland, Newfoundland & Labrador
Showcasing the awe-inspiring landscapes, fascinating culture and endemic wildlife of Greenland and the Canadian island of Newfoundland, this cruise covers over 2,200 nautical miles and travels between dramatic fjords, snow-capped mountains, ice-berg strewn waters and wild stretches of beaches.
Accommodation
Fogo Island Inn
Fogo Island Inn is a contemporary retreat literally perched on a craggy outcrop of Fogo Island off Newfoundland’s dramatic shoreline. Teetering on the edge, supported by flamingo-like stilts that look like they could barely withstand the tiniest splash from the Atlantic Ocean, Fogo Island Inn encompasses contemporary luxury with all that is traditional of the North Atlantic. To call it an inn seems to contradict the idea of a luxury hotel; however, the community is the focus of Fogo and the Inn is very much a meeting place.
