There are many tour operators bringing clients to Newfoundland and Labrador. Click the links below for a list of the tour operators and a sample of the packages they offer.
Receptive Tour Operators
Receptive operators can help you plan an unforgettable experience for your clients. As locals, you can bet that they know every nook and cranny, off the beaten path, and awe-inspiring natural places throughout this compelling land of ours. They can find those hidden gems and once-in-a-lifetime experiences too, with customized itineraries for groups, fully independent travellers, and so much more.
We’ve created an Itinerary Planner that will allow you to plan the perfect trip and customize your days to focus on the experiences you’re looking for. With every visit, you’ll discover there is so much more to see and do here.
Our Five UNESCO Cultural Sites and Natural Wonders
The educational, scientific, and cultural arm of the United Nations, UNESCO, has identified sites all over the world that are of outstanding natural and cultural significance. Newfoundland and Labrador is home to four World Heritage Sites and one Geopark, and no visit to the province would be complete without making it to at least one of them – and maybe you can collect the set.
Coastline
With more than 29,000 kilometres (18,000 miles) of majestic rugged coastline, you’re never far from the ocean. See houses of yellow and blue, lime, aqua, and green that cling to the shore in villages, outports, coves, guts, and bays; as proud to show their true colours as the people you’ll meet at every turn.
Icebergs
Breathe in plenty of fresh sea air along Iceberg Alley, where 10,000-year-old mountains of fresh water, carved from the glaciers of Greenland and the Arctic, glide past in spring and early summer.
World’s Largest Population of Humpback Whales
Icebergs drift south. Humpbacks migrate north. This is the place where their paths cross and is home to the world’s largest population of feeding humpback whales. Every year, 22 species of whales and dolphins come for peace and quiet, and the odd photo op.
Seabirds
The most spectacular and accessible seabird colonies in North America. More than 35 million seabirds gather here every year. Northern gannets, kittiwakes, murres, Atlantic puffins, osprey, falcons, hawks, storm petrels, razorbills, and bald eagles at six ecological reserves, including the magnificent Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve.
Most Easterly Point in North America
Visit the most easterly point in North America where you’ll see the sun rise before anyone else on the continent at Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site.
Archaeology Sites Dating Back 9,000 Years
Archaeological sites that date back 9,000 years to the Labrador Archaic people, as well as the Maritime Archaic people, Pre-Inuit, and more recently the people known as the Beothuk.
300 Hiking Trails
Close to 300 hiking and walking trails, including historic footpaths between abandoned fishing communities, to deep fjords, towering cliffs, and sub-arctic barrens, through lush inland forests, and over the Earth’s mantle. The diverse trails and the fresh sea air will rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit.
Culinary
Authentic culinary dishes from land and sea. Try cod tongues and cheeks, caribou, snow crab, salmon, moose, bakeapples, wild berries, tea and lassy buns, toutons, and salt fish and brewis. Prepared traditional or contemporary, served with pride.
Geology & Fossils
Geological wonders are everywhere in Newfoundland and Labrador. Travellers can experience them while exploring small communities from coast to coast.
Closer Than You Think
Flying time to St. John’s is about 3.5 hours from Toronto and about 5 hours from London or Dublin.
In addition to being a great spot for hiking and kayaking, we’re one of the few places in the world to receive simultaneous visits from whales, seabirds, and icebergs. As the whales and birds migrate north and the icebergs sail south, there’s a chance to experience all three of these wonderful sights in one trip. Like so much in nature, there are many factors that vary from year to year, but with luck you’ll witness this exciting spectacle.
Best Seasons:
