On 1 April 2025, the newest edition of my Newfoundland and Labrador guidebook by Moon Travel Guides was published. It was busy schedule researching this newest edition as the province has seen a surprising number of changes (for the better) in recent years as it relates to the tourism industry. During my time in the province I was happy to see many new accommodations and restaurants, all making a visit more enjoyable and authentic, for myself and anyone who follows. There were also new tourism operators and expanded tours from existing operators.
From my publisher:
Awe-inspiring icebergs, clifftop lighthouses, and rare fossils: experience the magic of Canada’s easternmost province with Moon Newfoundland & Labrador.
- Flexible itineraries for weekend getaways or spending 7 days in Newfoundland and Labrador
- Top experiences: Visit an active archaeological dig or learn about the history and local art of the province. Chow down on fresh crab claws, chowder, and pie made with locally grown berries. Drive the Irish Loop for stunning coastal views, maritime history, and wildlife-watching, and wind down after at a cozy neighborhood pub
- Best outdoor adventures: Trek through hilly evergreen forests and spot moose, foxes, and caribou. Watch for whales on a cruise or search the sky for soaring eagles, ospreys, and puffins. Embark on a multi-day backpacking adventure through the UNESCO-protected Gros Morne National Park. Kayak to the remote wilderness of Torngat Mountains National Park, scuba dive in shipwreck-filled coves, or settle down for a night under the stars at a lakeside campsite
