most westerly city. Corner Brook is
Newfoundland’s second largest city and is

and one of the world’s largest pulp and
paper mills. Tonight our accommodations

together as a group. (B,D)
DAY 9: St. Anthony, Newfoundland
Today we will travel up the Viking Trail
stopping along the way to view the Arches,
a natural phenomenon carved over many
centuries by the sea. We will visit the
National Historic Park at Port Au Choix and
the museum which features the Maritime
Archaic Indian History. The many interesting
artifacts on display make this an intriguing
site. Our journey will take us along the
coastline to overnight in St. Anthony for the
next two nights. (B, L)
DAY 10: St. Anthony, Newfoundland
This morning we will visit Sir Wilfred
Grenfell’s former home as well as the
Grenfell Mission and the Hospital named

first European settlement in North America,
L’Anse aux Meadows, the site of the Viking
Village where Leif the Lucky is believed to
have settled in the year 1000 AD. Across
the road we also visit Norstead, where
actors bring to life a working Viking Village.

Up early this morning to catch the ferry,
across the Straits of Belle Isle to Southern
Labrador. We will visit the Basque
Whaling station recently discovered by
archaeologists and named as a heritage
site for Canada. Here we will tour the site
and learn about the way of life and the “11
modern techniques” used by the whalers of
those long ago times. Tonight we will spend
in Labrador at L’Anse Au Clair. (B, L, D)
DAY 12: Rocky Harbour,

the Island of Newfoundland and travel
along the spectacular coastline to Gros
Morne National Park. This afternoon we

Morne National Park, with a stop at the
Interpretation Centre for their fascinating
film about the Park. Next we will take a
boat from Norris Point, to view Gros Morne
from the water. Our visit to Gros Morne
National Park will give you the opportunity
to view deep fjords, vertical cliffs, the
Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Long Range
Mountains. We have a home-cooked
Farewell Dinner in Rocky Harbour. (B,D)
DAY 13: Toronto
After Breakfast our Newfoundland
Adventure comes to an end, as our shuttle
takes us to the Deer Lake Airport, to board
our return flights to Toronto. In order
to maximize our time in Newfoundland,
we depart later making it difficult and
uncomfortable to travel immediately back
to Western Canada, and so this evening
we have included a final night at the new
Toronto Airport Sandman Hotel. (B)
