What people love about Newfoundland and Labrador Tours for Seniors
- Newfoundland & Labrador with Iceberg Celebration
I had wanted to see Newfoundland icebergs since reading about them in the Weekly Reader in grade school. I know it's often luck you see them but we did. It was a bumper year and our guide knew where to look. We also saw Puffins in two locations, Norse ruins, whales, moose, caribou and beautiful forests and geology..
