I traveled on the Ocean Endeavour's maiden voyage up the eastern coast of Canada. We explored all that Newfoundland and Wild Labrador had to offer. We spent time hiking the beautiful National Park and searching after the elusive polar bears. All around an amazing trip of a lifetime.
I'm not going to lie, Torngat Mountains National Park is the reason I took this trip. I realize that this trip starts in Newfoundland and ends at the northern tip of Labrador. There's a lot of beautiful landscape, history and culture between those two points. But Torngat has been at the top of my life list for many years.
Torngat (Kassandra Magruder)
1) It's devastatingly gorgeous. The landscape and mountains are amongst the most beautiful I've ever seen
2) It's full of polar bears. This girl from Montana loves a good predator and polar bears are at the top of the food chain.
3) It's impossible to get to and super remote. You either fly in on a private bush plane and stay at Torngat Basecamp or you take a nice cushy expedition cruise ship like the Ocean Endeavour.
Torngat is a geologist's dream. Monolithic cliffs rise straight out of the water, like the Norwegian Fjords except with better colors.

Hiking can be difficult here - mostly because of the polar bears. It's required that you take a bear guard with gun on any hiking excursions in the park. This is not only for your own safety, but better for the local economy as well.

Now that the trip is over, I can honestly say there is SO MUCH MORE to the East Coast of Canada than Torngat. But Torngat still has my heart because it's just out-of-this-world beautiful.

We have worked with Kassandra at Adventure-Life for several years. She continues to provide excellent guidance on our trips. This time, we tossed some real challenges - explicit number of days, specific itineraries and limitations on who we would prefer to sail with. She actually gave us choices ! Deposit in place and working on additional details for insurance and extensions. Another success !!
