TRAVEL
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before you make your final travel arrangements, please ensure that you are confirmed for travel to YYT (St. John's, Newfoundland), NOT YSJ (Saint John, New Brunswick).
Select "travel to st. john's" above for travel information and "visas" for links to government information for international travellers.
In the vicinity of St. John's you will be able to hike around our "ponds," along our rugged coastline, or down Signal Hill, so named because it was the site of the first trans-Atlantic radio signal. You can visit the easternmost point of North America at nearby Cape Spear, go sea-kayaking, or take an ocean tour to visit the whales on their northern migration.
Be astounded by the 35 million seabirds – gannets, kittiwakes, puffins, razorbills – that burrow in the cliffs above the Atlantic. Hear English like you've never heard it spoken before (and buy your own Dictionary of Newfoundland English). Go further afield while in the province to explore one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Gros Morne Park or the 1000-year old Viking settlement on our Great Northern Peninsula.
