Highlights

8 Days of Imaging

Wander “downtown” Woody Point to explore the shops and waterfront.  This is a colourful outport with wharves and a selection of boats. Visit the Discovery Centre for an interpretation of the natural and cultural history of the park. From the centre you are able to see the Tablelands, the remarkable stretch of Mars like geology that makes this park a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Head north to tour L’Anse aux Meadows.  This ‘UNESCO World Heritage Site’ is the only Viking site in North America. Meet a Viking (perhaps the self titled but questionably named ‘Bjorn the Beautiful!’) in this 1,000 year old village which has been brought to life. Discover Quirpon Island and visit the island’s unique sites and delicate biology. The indoor whale watching station is the perfect spot to get cozy, or perch where you can smell the spouts – on the rocks where this shot was taken. The white sand beaches near Cow Head which are wonderful and usually empty, very nice for a walk (or a swim, for hardier souls). Enjoy one of the icons of Gros Morne National Park. A 45 minute walk across a bog (known locally as a “mish”) takes you to the dock of the Western Brook Pond Boat Tour.
