Hiking & Walking
When was the last time you took a breath? Or watched the setting sun? In Newfoundland and Labrador, our way of life is a little different. We don’t believe much in regret. We take what each day has to offer, and we don’t wait for a reason to celebrate. That’s why you’ll find us dancing and singing any night of the week, at a kitchen party or on the shore. Don’t be surprised if you're asked to join in.
When everyone is welcome, anyone can show up out of the blue.

Planning on driving to the island? Most travellers will take the ferry from Nova Scotia to either Port aux Basques or Argentia, and there are ferry routes for travelling between the island and Labrador. You can also drive to Labrador from the mainland of Canada, via Québec.
Things To Do
There’s enough coastline wrapped around this place to stretch across Canada four times over. So whether you take a hike along ancient footpaths, pack a picnic and watch for whales, or head out to sea to hunt for icebergs, you’ll find it all comes standard with a great ocean view.
