Top Reasons to Go

  • Gros Morne National Park: Magnificent mountains, fine hiking, sweeping vistas, quaint lighthouses, hidden fjords, and the deep blue sea are just some of the reasons people flock to this park.
  • Meet the people: You'll never get lost here because the people go out of their way to help visitors. These are some of the friendliest folks you're likely to meet.
  • See the wildlife: Watch pods of humpbacks dive and breach alongside your boat tour, and see puffins, caribou, moose, and more in bird sanctuaries and ecological reserves.
  • Spot icebergs: Newfoundland is one of the easiest places to see these 10,000-year-old beauties of the ocean. See them from St. Anthony to St. John’s.
  • Enjoy the arts: From traditional accordion concerts to art-house cinema and award-winning plays, the local and touring talent should not be missed.
  • Eat amazing food: Cod, mussels, scallops, lobster, whelk, and crab straight from the sea complemented by locally sourced savory, moose charcuterie, spruce-tip oil, and every other wild flavor found on the island.
