Tailor made holidays to Newfoundland And Labrador

Holidays in Newfoundland And Labrador, Canada

Newfoundland and Labrador. The place where land, water and sky embrace like old friends. And the edge of North America holds an adventure as big as the sky.

Come to the place where the New World begins. Feel the power of the Atlantic as it meets North America for the first time. It happens right here at Cape Spear. Where Newfoundland''s oldest surviving lighthouse has stood for 16 decades. Where the wind warms your soul and where you''re closer to Ireland''s Cape Clear than Ontario''s Thunder Bay. Come to the city that started it all, the first in the New World. Come to St. John''s and take a walk on Water Street, the oldest street in North America

The Gros Morne National Park. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its exceptional beauty and unique geological features. Ramble over an ancient expanse of mantle rock. Where colossal collisions of tectonic plates created formations as barren as the moon. Take a stroll through a jumbled mass of rust-coloured rocks. Visit the Tablelands, a 600-metre high plateau that forms one of the world''s best examples of rock exposed from the earth''s interior. Rock usually found only deep beneath the ocean floor. This is the land of the Titans, where human travellers are dwarfed by Precambrian cliffs towering thousands of feet above land-locked fjords.

A serious hike takes you all the way to the top of Gros Morne Mountain and rewards you with an unforgettable view of Ten Mile Pond and the Long Range Mountains.

This is where giant arctic hares make their home, and woodland caribou and moose can be found. Steep valley slopes are alive with lichens, mosses, and tuckamore trees. Orchids thrive, over thirty wild species in all. Berries answer to names like bakeapple, partridge, and alpine bear. Gros Morne is like no other place on the face of the earth. Come see our wild side. Take a walk in our park.

Labrador, one of the last great wilderness areas on earth - a colossal frontier. Over 300,000 square kilometres of unspoiled land. Mountain ranges containing some of the oldest exposed rock on the planet. The Torngat, the Kaumajet, and the Kiglapait mountains feature sheer walls that soar 5,000 breathtaking feet out of the ocean.

Wildlife roam in spectacular numbers. The largest barren ground caribou herd in the world lives here, the George River Caribou Herd, over 600,000 strong. There are moose, wolves, lynx, porcupines, and polar bears. Whales, seals, and giant arctic hares. It''s wild. What do you want to do? Skiing - downhill and cross-country - snowshoeing, snowmobiling. Swimming, hiking, and rockclimbing. Theatre, symphony, and rock concerts. Folk and traditional music. Festivals of all kinds - constructed around drama, music, and food. Sight-seeing, with sights like whales and icebergs, crashing seas and rolling hills, deep fjords and rugged plateaus. The list goes on.
