Icebergs + whales + Vikings, oh my!
DISCOVER NEWFOUNDLAND + LABRADOR THIS JUNE
C ANADIANS ACROSS the country wait in anticipation for the summer months. Many of us West Coasters dream of a once in a life-time adventure on the East Coast.
Bearing an unforgettable landscape, a culture steeped in history and a people like no other, Newfoundland and Labrador offer that adventure. You can travel there with Mile Zero Tours, a locallyowned guided tour company.
National Geographic awarded Newfoundland and Labrador the prestigious Top Coast Destination in the World, beating out the coasts of Chile, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia and Italy.
The Rock, more formally known as the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, is an exotic land that holds its own life, quirkiness and pristine beauty; this distinguishes it from any other place on the planet. Starting from the vibrant port city of St. John’s, the tour will take you east to the community of Gander. Cruise the waters off Twillingate in search of whales and icebergs; June is prime iceberg spotting time.
Here, you will follow in the ancient footsteps of Vikings who arrived on the shores some 1,000 years ago to the Norse settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows (the first European settlement in North America). Watch massive 10,000year-old icebergs float past tiny fishing villages and rocky shores, and even join with the locals for a lively music session at a local pub.
From the capital city of St. John’s, with its colourful wooden houses and busy harbour, to the geologists’ paradise of Gross Morne National Park, Newfoundland is a place where the landscapes are as fascinating as its people.
