The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Step aboard a Parks Canada guided tour to the world's best-preserved 16th-century Basque whaling station — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cross by ferry to Saddle Island to walk among skeletal chalupa boats, a sunken galleon, and centuries-old tryworks.
Commission a private, expert-led interpretation session at Saddle Island with a specialist Parks Canada archaeologist-interpreter — the ultimate deep-dive into the UNESCO Basque whaling heritage site. Reserved for travelers who want exclusive scholarly access.
Journey to L'Anse aux Meadows — the only authenticated Norse settlement in North America, a UNESCO World Heritage Site — with a private guide for an extraordinary encounter with 1,000-year-old Viking history on the tip of Newfoundland.
Ascend Labrador's iconic Point Amour Lighthouse — the tallest in Atlantic Canada — for panoramic views across the Strait of Belle Isle. A private guide unlocks the tower's full history and military past for an unforgettable vantage point over iceberg waters.
Embark on an exhilarating small-group Zodiac expedition through the Strait of Belle Isle — prime habitat for humpback whales, minke whales, and drifting icebergs — with an expert naturalist guide narrating every encounter.
Walk the haunting Boney Shore — where centuries of whale bones and Basque artifacts litter the tideline — and visit the excavated whalers' graveyard with a private historian for an intimate encounter with 16th-century life and death on the Labrador coast.
