Discover Newfoundland and Labrador

Everything about Newfoundland and Labrador is extraordinary. From its location on the extreme northeastern edge of Canada to its rocky landscape and friendly faces, this unique Canadian province is a beacon for travellers looking to veer off the beaten path.

Geographically the province is divided into two parts by the Strait of Belle Isle: Labrador, which is attached to mainland Canada by way of northern Quebec, and Newfoundland, a large island in the Atlantic Ocean. In Labrador — or Nunatsiavut (“the big land” in Inukitut) — visitors will find a rugged landscape dotted with pristine rivers and stunning vistas of unspoiled wilderness. In Newfoundland — or the Rock as it is often called — visitors are treated to a charming culture that locals see as a hybrid of many influences. St. John’s, the largest city in the province and the most easterly city in North America, is a lively place with cheery pubs and colourful houses lining the hilly residential streets.

A visit to one of the province’s stunning parks is a treat. Gros Morne National Park is probably the most famous and with good reason.  This UNESCO World Heritage Site lets you hike along the earth’s mantle, view towering fjords and experience the wonder of nature’s raw beauty.
