Newfoundland and Labrador is full of untouched beauty, with vast national parks and winding rugged coastlines
Spanning an area larger than the UK, Canada’s most easterly province is a dream destination for anyone who loves outdoor adventure.
Newfoundland and Labrador is home to four Unesco World Heritage Sites and one Unesco Global Geopark, while stunning coastal hiking routes, such as the East Coast Trail, give visitors the chance to see the dramatic, rugged cliffs up close.
Gros Morne National Park is a must-see. Here, visitors can observe the geology of tectonic plates – as well as the Earth’s solidified mantle – with their own eyes. More natural marvels can be seen at Terra Nova National Park, a designated dark sky preserve, with unparalleled views of the Milky Way at night.
Whale-watching tours are never far away, as the province is home to the world’s largest population of humpback whales. And birdwatchers will be in their element too, with many vantage points from which to see a huge array of seabirds. Birds gather in their thousands at Cape St Mary’s Ecological Reserve, two hours’ drive southwest of St John’s, while the Elliston Puffin Viewing Site, easily accessible by car, is a great place to spot some of these beautiful creatures.
