You don’t need to pre-book this activity Nain, the northernmost permanent community in Newfoundland and Labrador, sits on the rugged Labrador coast within the Inuit self‑governed region of Nunatsiavut. Its subarctic landscape of islands, bays, and tundra surrounds a population of about 1,204 residents, the vast majority of whom are Inuit. Founded in 1771 as a Moravian mission, it is one of Canada’s oldest continuous Inuit settlements, shaped by centuries of Indigenous presence, missionary influence, and later resettlement from northern communities such as Hebron and Nutak. Today, Nain serves as the administrative capital of Nunatsiavut, accessible only by air or sea, and remains a cultural hub where the Inuttitut language, coastal traditions, and ties to the Torngat Mountains continue to define community life. During our stay in Nain, you will be welcomed at the pier by a local music group before being escorted to the Moravian Church for a short introduction to life in the community. You will then continue on a community walk led by local residents, ending at the Illusuak Cultural Centre and Museum, where a throat‑singing performance will be held.

The hike option involves 6–8 km on rough terrain, where sure‑footedness and appropriate footwear are essential.

Visit the remarkable ancient settlement founded by Vikings more than 1,000 years ago.

This excursion is combinable with 00BBWSX003 The North Coast of Gros Morne The rocky feature known as the Tablelands gave Gros Morne National Park its UNESCO World Heritage status. Ancient mountain building periods resulted in a huge chunk of the earth’s mantle being deposited on the earth’s surface. Here according to Poets and Geologists, the earth shows her bones and we are able to wander the earth’s interior. We walk on the Tablelands looking at its unique physical nature and also at the distinctive plants that make this landform home. This is as close as you will ever get to the mantle of the earth…or the surface of Mars. The heavy metals associated with these deep rocks are poison to most life forms and only select hardy plants are found here including some specialized species found nowhere else on earth except on similar landforms. The Discovery Centre highlights the Tablelands together with the other geological and biological highlights of the park.
