See nature's wonders in the rugged ocean coastline, majestic whales and icebergs, and the rich history on offer. "Let Your Spirit Sail".

Newfoundland's northern tip is the most accessible region for seeing so many icebergs.

From late spring, often until mid-summer, massive sized icebergs are common along this coast and sometimes float directly into harbors.

Below water lies 90% of an iceberg's mass. Icebergs may weigh several million tonnes, and the tallest iceberg ever was 550 feet high.

Tour Boat excursions bring whales and immense icebergs into closer view, while giving passengers a unique perspective on Northern Newfoundland's magical rugged ocean coast. Wait to book until you arrive, because it might be foggy or raining.

L’Anse aux Meadows, site of a Viking settlement, is about 20 miles north of St. Anthony. The trip over rolling hills and a narrow two lane road takes about 30 minutes. It is North America's only authenticated Viking settlement site.

Tipping 10-15% of a restaurant bill is normal. Tips also usually go to bell hops, concierges, room cleaners, cab drivers, hairdressers and hotel attendants, while savvy drinkers tip bar staff.
