All across the country, Canadians are choosing to buy local. And support mom and pop shops. But why stop there? Here, you’ll find businesses owned by nans, aunts, uncles, and sometimes the whole family.
There’s never been a more important time to buy Canadian. Luckily, in Newfoundland and Labrador, it’s hard not to.

Our Destinations
There are places on this earth that continue to live inside of you long after you’ve travelled on. Places where you’ll find yourself among the friendliest of unfamiliar faces, some of whom may become lifelong friends. Why not start your visit in one of our most popular places?
Who knew that arriving here could be such a departure?
Travelling here by plane is a popular option, and airlines fly into St. John's, Gander, Deer Lake, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and Wabush. Flying times for direct flights to St. John's are about 3.5 hours from Toronto, 6 hours from Edmonton / Calgary, and 5 hours from London. Other international routes are available into the region via Halifax. Regional airlines service smaller destinations and operate flights within the province.
Travellers are encouraged to check with individual airlines and ferry services for the most up-to-date information prior to and during travel.
Things To Do
There’s enough coastline wrapped around this place to stretch across Canada four times over. So whether you take a hike along ancient footpaths, pack a picnic and watch for whales, or head out to sea to hunt for icebergs, you’ll find it all comes standard with a great ocean view.

Every trip you take leaves you with at least one story. Some are funny, some touching, and some are full of practical advice. We’ve curated travel stories written by, and about, Newfoundland and Labrador including lists, how-tos, and tips to take you behind the scenes, or give you a little nudge in the right direction.
