Highlights

An incredible amount to see and do.

Launch your adventure in the Bay of Islands.  This beautiful area is a walker’s treat of tuckamore, sea caves, secluded beaches, and panoramic vistas.  Sleep by the Humber River and dream of the thousands of salmon swimming past your door.

On to the French Ancestor’s Route and the Port au Port Peninsula.  The unique accents are a relic from a time when the French owned the fishing rights to this gorgeous but often overlooked coastline.

A WWII plane crash site is a legacy of the “Friendly Invasion” of the American base in Stephenville.

The Codroy Valley is where the Long- Range Mountains, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and two meandering rivers beautifully frame a fertile oasis.  Stay in lovingly restored Cape Anguille Lighthouse Inn and let the sound of the sea lull you to sleep.

Explore small outport communities and the architecturally unique Rose Blanche lighthouse, built of granite. When the waves are crashing, imagine yourself in a small dory with a Newfoundland dog, rescuing desperate immigrants as they cling to the wreckage of their ships off the rocks of Isle aux Morts.

The Baie Verte Peninsula introduces you to Iceberg Alley.  Fishing boats, with a halo of seagulls, chug into harbour after a successful day’s fishing, and in a nearby outport, immerse yourself in a stillness you can only find in a once vibrant outport village, now abandoned.
