Trip highlights

  • Choose from a selection of incredible hikes of varying difficulty
  • Cruise the waters of dramatic Western Brook Pond Fjord
  • Enjoy a traditional Newfoundland music performance
  • Sample incredible local cuisine with a 4 course gourmet dinner
  • Stay in cozy seaside cabins in charming Rocky Harbour

For those with limited time to visit incredible Gros Morne National Park, we've put together a package with our favourite 'must do' activities while leaving some flexibility of choice where meals and trails are concerned. There are so many great day hikes of varying difficulty and scenery to choose from within the park and our incredible local guides are excited to take you on the trails of your choice. Walk atop the earth's exposed mantle on a rocky Tablelands hike; along the coast and through lush landscapes of the Green Gardens; to spectacular views atop Big Lookout or Gros Morne Mountain; or simply take an easy stroll to check out a pretty seaside vista. But that's certainly not all - get your Newfoundland culture fix with both a traditional live musical performance and a delectable culinary tour that features Gros Morne's top rated restaurants. And, how could we leave out the classic scenery of Western Brook Pond Fjord? The included 2 hour boat tour takes you into the heart of the glacier-carved, land-locked fjord, past billion-year-old cliffs, and dramatic 2000-foot waterfalls. Truly all of the ingredients for the perfect trip: outdoor adventure, entertainment, local food, first class service and fun guides.
