Canada’s most eastern province celebrates European and First Nations histories amidst a diverse landscape of coastlines, mountains and ancient forests. This excellent introduction to Newfoundland and Labrador begins and ends on the island in the modern gateway city of St. John’s – a city in dynamic contrast to the colonial ports and fishing villages along the northern shores. Journeying along the coastlines of Labrador displays some of the most rugged and raw meetings of ocean and shore in Canada, perfectly complemented by visits to the immaculate North Shore, Gros Morne National Park and the incredible experience of seeing icebergs and whales up close. This itinerary is ideal to be enjoyed either as a casual, stop-and-visit package, or as a base to incorporate signature hikes and other outdoor adventures.

St. John's is a unique city on North America's east coast. Although really little larger than a good-sized town, it is very attractive. Newfoundlanders say that St. John's is unconquerable. Its history has been one of survival, despite wars, disasters and destruction. As recently as the beginning of the last century, a fire destroyed most of the centre of the city, but today it is a lively international seaport. Various trails guide you through the city and to major attractions. Wooden architecture unique to Newfoundland, combined with the amenities one expects of a modern city, make this an exciting tourist centre. Handcraft shops featuring local crafts are scattered throughout the city. St. John's is a vibrant city, unlike any other. It holds a long and colourful history, but St. John's is also modern with many amenities that improve quality of life in the capital, including an extensive network trails, a vibrant arts and culture community and a programme of events and festivals that celebrate life in St. John's.
