13-Nights Newfoundland Discovery | Atlantic Canada Road Trip — CALL

Gros Morne National Park is one of the most beautiful UNESCO world heritage sites in Canada. Visitors can hike through wild, uninhabited mountains and camp by the sea. Boat tours bring visitors under the towering cliffs of a fjord carved out by glaciers. Waterfalls, marine inlets, sea stacks, sandy beaches, and colorful nearby fishing villages complete the phenomenal natural and cultural surroundings of this National Park.

The small town of Twillingate, 170 mi/275 km north of St. John's, is on an island off the north shore of Newfoundland and Labrador—you can reach it by causeway.

Twillingate is a good place to see icebergs in the early summer. The Long Point Lighthouse is a great vantage point for watching them float by—it's also good for spying whales. Twillingate also features a wide, striking harbor.

While in town, visit the Twillingate Museum (eclectic collection of artifacts from the area) and the Prime Berth Historic Fishing Centre. The fishing center has more than you ever wanted to know about the industry, as well as an interesting gift shop.

In July, Twillingate hosts the Fish, Fun and Folk Festival, with music, dancing, storytelling, seafood and crafts.

Fogo Island, home to a series of scenic and remote fishing villages, is nearby and can be reached via a 45-minute ferry ride from Farewell.
