Labrador in 2009!

It always amazes me how Canada is so vast, spacious and yes, still pristine.

I will never forget my first trip up north navigating Hudson Bay, being wrapped by intense darkness, the clearest of moons and the dancing northern lights, night after night. How the crisp ocean air and the sound of the ship breaking waves had paralyzed me in the moment. Yet, I was so close to home, but felt so far away.

Last July, I discovered another breathtaking region of my country: the Labrador coast. I traveled from St. John’s, NL, stopped in Anse aux Meadows, many stops along this beautiful coast then finishing in Ungava Bay towards Baffin Island. (July 10 to 22nd 2008). Great trip! Great weather (12 days of sunshine), 12 polar bears sightings, artsy icebergs, amazing Torngat Mountains, interesting historic Viking, Moravian and Inuit settlements, colorful and unique flora, caribou, birds, whales, seals, ice on calm waters, breathtaking sunsets and full moon risings, diverse and fun company, great tour leader and staff, delicious food....what else can one ask for???

There are two departures up the Labrador coast in 2009, and I invite you to discover the coast that welcomed most historical newcomers to our land. The first departure is July 2nd, for 10 nights, departing from St John’s Newfoundland, ending in Kuujjuak; and the other one leaves Halifax at the end of the season, September 26th to October 6th. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
