Newfoundland & Labrador
- friendly people and outstanding scenery
The first Europeans visited Newfoundland in 998AD when the Vikings landed and set up a permanent
settlement. European history has been closely woven with the development of Newfoundland tracing
back to John Cabot. In more recent years the fishing industry has provided Europe with a seemingly
endless supply of fish. Today Newfoundland moves forward with its new oil wealth, friendly people,
outstanding scenery and options to live and experience the great outdoors.

Why choose Newfoundland & Labrador?
Newfoundland is less than a five hour flight from
the UK and there are regular flights to the capital,
St John’s, and the western town of Deer Lake, via
Halifax or St John’s. Over a thousand years ago the
Vikings found Newfoundland on one of their great
exploratory trips, setting up a permanent outpost
at L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site at
the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula, now also
a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Incorporate Alberta with British Columbia and there are some fantastic rail
journeys to enjoy: Rocky Mountaineer offers three separate options through
the Rockies and Via Rail Canada, the national railway system of Canada,
offers two separate journeys, each has their benefits and our staff
will be pleased to advise you which fits most appropriately into your
proposed trip.
Most people think that Newfoundland is quite
small, but in fact it is quite large. We highly
recommend that it is always thought of as a
separate holiday to any other area of Canada as
there is so much to do. If you like coastline and
maritime experiences, including whale watching
and iceberg viewing, then you have found your
ideal destination. Being an island separated from
the rest of Canada the culture is somewhat
unique. Nothing is done in a hurry, people
seem to have time to stand and talk to
visitors, share their experiences, their
history and philosophy.
The area in and around St John’s, North America’s
oldest city, offers a mixture of history and wildlife
viewing that many will say is unsurpassed in
Canada. The journey across the south of the
island offers stunning scenery whilst Gros
Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, offers experiences to delight the most
seasoned traveller. In the north, Quirpon Island
is a unique experience and the journey to and
from contributes to the whole. Add to this the
Viking culture in the north, and the recreational
activities in the stunning Humber Valley area and
you have an overall package that will exceed your
expectations.
Labrador is just beginning to open up to tourism.
The Torngat Mountains National Park, newly
formed in 2005, offers not only the wildlife you
would expect in this area, but also the opportunity
to view polar bears. Access is limited, but we are
working with some cruise options, a fly drive and
a bus tour option to facilitate the opportunity to
visit this developing area.
