Tour Overview

Travel back in time on this amazing tour featuring Battle Harbour. A restored, 19th-century fishing village on a small island in the Labrador Sea, Battle Harbour was once regarded as the unofficial capital of Labrador and the salt fish capital of the world. Remote, off the beaten path and unique are just a few of the words to describe this incredibly special place. Stay two nights in this national historic district and experience life as it once was. In addition to Battle Harbour, tour Newfoundland & Labrador's Great Northern Peninsula. During your time there visit three incredible UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Gros Morne National Park, Red Bay and L'Anse aux Meadows. See spectacular coastal scenery and maybe a moose or two!

Please Note: Our tours require easy to moderate levels of activity. Guests must be able to walk unassisted, be able to do flights of stairs and enter/exit boat tours on their own.

This fee, which is up to 15% of the “land” portion of the tour, will be offered to you as an option to continue with the trip. This fee will cover the costs associated with handling a smaller group.

Our tours are suitable for all age demographics. The average age of travelers is typically 45+.
