A holiday where you choose the dates and leave the rest to us. May can be magic in eastern Newfoundland. The ocean is alive as millions of seabirds feed along the coast enjoying the bounty of the subarctic springtime. Nests are built, burrows are dug, and the coastline is abuzz with soaring gannets, colourful puffins and the first whales of the year. Most years we also enjoy giant Greenland icebergs likely calved from the same glacier as the iceberg that sank the Titanic. Newfoundland and Labrador provides easy access to the hemisphere’s largest icebergs. May is a time when the fishing communities come to life as boats head out for fresh lobster and other delicious local seafoods. This trip enjoys the comforts of olde St. John’s in the evening while providing three fun days of exploration and wildlife that features the highlights of the city and the countryside. Many guests use our May Magic program to explore the wonders of eastern Newfoundland on a tour where they often find themselves enjoying an exclusive excursion. We are delighted to provide these distinctive excursions as described but we also welcome inquiries from folks who want to customize this itinerary or the accommodations to match their own interests.

  • Reviewer: Lyn Sampler located in Hampshire, England

    "Please also accept my gratitude for your kindness and hospitality during my two week stay in Newfoundland, and providing me with the most wonderful and spectacular whale watching days I’m sure I will ever have in my lifetime.”
  • Reviewer: Barbara Vernes located in Minnesota USA

    The visual beauty of Newfoundland and the voices of the people we met, and left behind will forever live in my head, but more importantly, in my heart. If all of ones life becomes a warm quilt of people and memories, then somewhere near the center is a single gold thread that embroiders the simple word…Newfoundland. Thank you again for everything. ”
  • Reviewer: Jason Rizzo located in Florida USA

    "I have just returned home from completing your company’s Viking Trail tour. This was without a doubt the best tour I have ever taken. From seeing a trilobite on the first day, to hiking the Green Gardens, to the archaeological sites of Red Bay, L’Anse aux Meadows and Port au Choix, to the fossil strewn beach at Green Point, as well as a tour of the Bay of Islands, and everything in between was much more than I had expected. The small group size really allows an individual to experience more than they would with one of the larger tour operators. ”
