Newfoundland: return to the rock

Once you travel here just one time, you will forever have the calling to come back. For 2025, we couldn't be more excited to not only return to the rock, but also expand on last years wildly successful expedition to now include a journey through the Trans Labrador Highway and more time on the island itself. Once you are there, you will understand why last year no one wanted to leave. This wild and rugged Canadian island features some of the most awe inspiring scenery on earth. "Unlike anything else,” is perhaps the only way to describe the culture here, the people, the cuisine, the camping, and an adventure of a lifetime with DestinationXtreme. 

This 2 week adventure covers 3500 miles across Labrador Canada, and into Newfoundland itself, returning via ferry to Nova Scotia and back to Maine via New Brunswick. You can expect a bucket list level trip that only DestinationXtreme can deliver. 

As with all of our trips, you and your vehicle for this trip must meet all the requirements including being able to cross international borders and travel long distances without issue. While in Newfoundland, there will be many opportunities daily to get out and enjoy the scenery, restock supplies, and enjoy plenty of local eateries. 

Newfoundland: Return to the Rock Itinerary:

Our meeting place will be in Quebec City for day one before beginning our journey across Labrador towards the ferry terminal at Blanc-Sablon. This shorter ferry ride will take us across the Strait of Belle Isle to Newfoundland itself.

Upon arrival at the shores of Newfoundland, we begin our daily adventures across the islands west coast. Each day will bring new adventure as some of the trails in the area are the best around and feature amazing scenery too. We will spend each night camping under the stars as we make our way south before ending on an overnight boat ride back to Nova Scotia. The ship features private rooms so you can get a great night sleep along the way. Once there, we will begin our journey home, stopping to camp along the way.

This unique adventure of a lifetime kicks off by traveling up through the beautiful remote regions of Quebec and Labrador before ending up on the island of Newfoundland. Once there, we will tour our way south following the western shore to connect up with our ferry back to the mainland.

Along the way, expect to see endless coastal scenery, famous towns, landmarks, Gros Morne National Park, mountains, and so much more. Unless you’ve been here before, we can guarantee you’ve never seen any place like this!
