My experience in Newfoundland
& Labrador

We spent an entire week road-tripping through Newfoundland. We were amazed at how green this province really is.

The National Parks were a pleasure to hike and camp in, an the National Historic Sites were pretty interesting.

Not only did we get to step foot onto the most eastern point in North America, but we also went whale watching where we saw plenty of puffins and whales, got ‘Screeched In,’ and had an epic time on one of the best zipline courses in the country.

Of course, the seafood, the people, and the scenery were pretty amazing too!

Travel Tip – If you’re taking the ferry to Newfoundland, book your tickets in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. We recommend booking the overnight sail, so consider reserving a cabin or bringing a pillow, blanket and definitely EARPLUGS for the trip.
