About this trip

Twelve days across Newfoundland, starting in Corner Brook and working your way around the island by road and water. It's a trip built around landscape and wildlife rather than nightlife — fjords, coastline, seabirds and whales, with history woven in at each stop.

Three separate boat tours give you a proper look at the marine life, including a dedicated whale-watching and puffin trip to Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. On land you'll take in Gros Morne's fjords and cliffs, the Viking site at L'Anse aux Meadows, and the UNESCO whaling station at Red Bay.

You finish with two nights in St John's, giving you time to settle into North America's oldest city rather than just pass through.

What you'll do

  • Whale watching and puffin spotting by boat in Witless Bay Ecological Reserve
  • Walk the fjords and cliffs of Gros Morne National Park
  • Visit the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows
  • See the UNESCO-listed whaling station at Red Bay
  • Explore Bonavista, where John Cabot landed in 1497
  • Two nights based in St John's
Good to know
  • Partially guided — some parts of the trip run without a group leader
  • Involves a fair amount of driving to cover the island's distances
  • Suits travellers keen on nature and wildlife over city nightlife
