We have places where the land appears to move, but it's really the backs of the world's largest caribou herd. Along the coast we have places where whirling seabirds are so plentiful they obscure the sun. We take you to where wild salmon leap in crystal clear rivers. Our ocean adventures feature the world's largest gathering of humpbacks sharing the waters with the second largest animals to ever live - the fin whales.

Tours in Atlantic Canada After Peary and Bartlett successfully made it to the pole in 1909 they stopped at Battle Harbour on their voyage south to take advantage of the continent's most northerly wireless station. The news spread to the world from Labrador's fishing capital; the pole had been conquered. Later journalists from across the U.S. and Canada flocked north to Battle Harbour for the famous press conference that filled in the details of this epic voyage for a captivated world. By using a Newfoundland Captain, Newfoundland and Labrador sled dogs, and many Newfoundland and Labrador crewmen, Peary had reached the north pole. The epic stories of northern voyages by famous explorers and by Newfoundland fishing families make Battle Harbour a must see destination for northern history enthusiasts.
