I am in the very early stages of planning...Thought about flying into St. Johns and making our way across to the Deer Lake region and flying home from there. We will probable have 7 full days. Was thinking about the week of May 21.
Thanks for responding.

We went in the middle of Juen and it was great for seeing iceburgs in many places. Later on, you may still see them up by Twillingate, but we saw them there, as well as by Trinity and also nar the Bay Bulls area. ( when the puffins are also nesting ).

Last year was supposed to be one of the best years for icebergs in Newfoundland,
but they were too far of shore to get a look. Like I said, it all depends on the flow. Its very undependable. If your looking for whales as well June is a good time. The whales generally come in after the caplin fish in the bays. Lots of places to see them....

Even though we are not leaving until May 21, I have made all my reservations. We will be staying at the Gros Morne cabins for the last 2 full days of our trip. When I was making our reservations for our accomodations, I did run into one place that was booked. So take katrinasl's suggestion and book early!!
