On this tour, take walks through vast natural areas and experience how deafening silence can be. Observe the aerial bursts of the loudly twittering puffins at Bay Bulls and, during the boat trip, keep your eyes open for curious whales that may come alongside to take a look. Through cultural Trinity and forested Terra Nova National Park, you will travel on to Gros Morne N.P./Norris Point. The hanging valleys and high waterfalls make the area unique. Not for nothing is it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
