Welcome to the Labrador Region

The Innu and Inuit have lived here for thousands of years, and their cultures are rooted in a deep, spiritual relationship with the environment. The long and intriguing history of Labrador's indigenous people can be traced back almost 9,000 years.

The southeast coast, with its once-vibrant whale and fishing industries, is now home to many popular tourism destinations. 16th-century Basque whalers established a centre of commerce at Red Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while further east Battle Harbour is now a rejuvenating retreat from the modern world. Point Amour’s lighthouse, the tallest in Atlantic Canada, offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding land and sea.

A pristine paradise for sport fishermen and hunters, Labrador is home to the best brook trout angling on the planet, and you can expect trophy-sized catches. To increase your chances, there are plenty of experienced and resourceful outfitters.

Under a blanket of magical northern lights, the winter months bring with them the hum of a thousand snowmobiles carving through the wilderness. And the quieter winter pursuits, like skiing and ice fishing, are always good for body and soul.

Torngat Mountains National Park is a mysteriously beautiful landscape reminiscent of Earth a million years ago.

Labrador is home to pristine rivers set against a rugged landscape, plenty of breathing room, and an abundance of trophy-sized fish.
