For hundreds of years, the lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have been inextricably tied to fishing. And we still take any opportunity we can to relax with rod and reel, or bring home something fresh from the sea for our supper. Whether it’s the reason for your visit, or part of a day’s adventure, we’re sure you’ll enjoy the chance to get a taste of our cultural heritage

Experience a day on the ocean like never before. Breathe in the fresh air as you follow humpbacks along the coast. Stop to watch seabirds swirl overhead, before fishing for cod or mackerel using traditional methods. Learn to row a dory and knit a net, and then catch, clean, and cook your own dinner.
Many of our boat tour operators offer a chance to fish or haul lobster pots, and a boil-up on the beach with lobster and mussels is a great (and delicious) way to end a day full of sightseeing, whales, and icebergs.
