Guests on our 2010 Newfoundland Adventure and Viking Trail trips are reporting humpbacks, minkes, and fin whales along the coast. We have also had sightings of sperm whales, pilot whales, and white-beaked dolphins.  We missed the orcas but we saw their handy-work.  There are still good numbers of icebergs along the Viking Trail too.

The orcas in the western Atlantic have received little study. We know they were common enough to serve as a prominent subject for the art and rituals of the people who lived in Newfoundland and Labrador 3,000 years ago. The most famous artifacts taken from Port aux Choix National Historic Site on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland are orca effigies carved in bone. These people lived off the whales, seals, salmon, and cod of the rich north Atlantic as did the orcas they undoubtedly shared the coastline with.

Newfoundland and Labrador Birding

All of our holidays feature remarkable bird watching BUT they are not birding vacations. Some of our leaders are accomplished birders, and our itineraries do feature some excellent birding areas. Every year birders join us and have enjoyable vacations but we always tell them that we provide tours designed for their non-birding travel companions… and for birders too.

We have other holiday leaders boasting impressive credentials. Newfoundland and Labrador presents dozens of logistical challenges for anybody coordinating a tour or learning holiday. There are routes without bathrooms or other basic services yet these areas feature sites of international significance and world-class life experiences. These areas can lack the support of even a simple plaque or sign.

The polar bear monitor during our second 2008 Northern Labrador Polar Bear Expedition was John Terriak, one of Canada’s most celebrated Inuit carvers. John’s commitment to his traditional lifestyle made him a feature in a National Geographic article during the 1970s while his art and stories have inspired articles written by cultural anthropologists and collectors of aboriginal art.
