The regions
Newfoundland is a large island with long drives between its highlights, so the route matters. We plan the flights into St. John’s or Deer Lake, reserve the inns and boat tours, and time your visit for icebergs, whales or fall color.
A lively harbour city of colorful row houses, with Signal Hill, the fishing village of Quidi Vidi and a famous pub scene on George Street.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site of flat-topped mountains, the Tablelands and the boat tour through the fjord at Western Brook Pond.
Small waterfront villages such as Norris Point and Woody Point, with kayaking, seafood and views of the Gros Morne mountains.
Coastal trails, Cape Spear at the easternmost point of North America, and boat tours to the puffins and whales of Witless Bay.
A quiet stretch of the west coast near Corner Brook, with sheltered coves, fishing villages and hiking above the sea.
Fjords, sea cliffs and harbours painted every color.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.

Timing
June to September is the best time for most of Newfoundland. Icebergs are usually seen from May to early July, whales and puffins from June to August, and fall color arrives in late September.
Icebergs begin drifting down the coast, with quiet roads and the first puffins arriving.
Whales, puffins, festivals and long days for hiking and boat tours.
Golden hills in Gros Morne, quieter trails and crisp, clear days.
Snowy landscapes and cozy pubs in St. John’s, with limited tours outside the city.
Questions
Icebergs are usually seen from May to early July, especially along the northeast coast and near St. John’s. Sightings vary each year, so we watch the reports and plan with flexibility.
Most travelers fly into St. John’s for the east of the island or Deer Lake for Gros Morne, often with a connection through Toronto, Montreal or Halifax. We arrange the flights and a rental car or private driver.
Seven to ten days allows time for St. John’s, the Avalon Peninsula and Gros Morne National Park. The drive across the island takes most of a day, so we often plan an open-jaw route.
Newfoundland is one and a half hours ahead of Eastern Time, so jet lag is not a concern.
Yes. U.S. citizens flying to Canada need a valid passport. Entry rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
Yes. From June to August, boat tours from Witless Bay near St. John’s visit large puffin colonies and often see humpback and minke whales.
