Around every corner, around every turn in Newfoundland and Labrador, there’s an outdoor adventure waiting to happen. Whether it’s a planned excursion or one that’s anything but, it’s hard to figure out what to experience first.
There’s everything from a gentle paddle around a sheltered bay to one alongside humpback whales and ten thousand year old icebergs. Visit sea caves and remote pebble beaches for a boil-up, or ride the waves along the coast in a sea kayak while you try to catch up with one of our 35 million seabirds.
If you consider yourself a hiker or a dedicated walker, there are literally hundreds of trails across the province, ranging from a short stroll through a park to a multi week-long trek through the wilderness. Our extensive trails include the East Coast Trail, Discovery Trail and Gros Morne National Park.
You’ll never have to go looking for wildlife in Newfoundland and Labrador. Over 22 species of whales grace our shores every year, and with over 35 million seabirds and 350 different species, this place is definitely for the birders.
This place is a snowmobiler’s paradise, complete with thousands of kilometers of winding, groomed paths or pure powder through the mountains and across the barrens. If you prefer to do your soul searching at high speeds, there’s Marble Mountain – a virtual adrenaline IV that comes with over sixteen feet of the white stuff, yours to carve as you please.
This place is a land like no other. It’s the far east of the western world, with thousands of islands, coves, guts and bays that exude a strange and startling beauty. And it’s home to one of the world’s last great frontiers – Labrador or ‘The Big Land’. With more than 300,000 km² of jaw-dropping wilderness, summer and winter adventures are endless.
