Gros Morne National Park

Explore the natural wonders within Gros Morne National Park, an unspoiled setting where you will find one of the world’s finest examples of continental drift. After departing from the pier, you will settle in for a leisurely 2 hour drive through a gorgeous landscape of dense forests, soaring mountains and glacial valleys. Along the way, you will pause for photos of the scenery and perhaps wildlife such as moose or caribou. The terrain will become even more dramatic as you approach Gros Morne National Park, a natural wonderland that not only Canadians revere. Gros Morne is a rare example of continental drift, where deep ocean crust and the earth’s rocky mantle lie exposed, and is so extraordinary that UNESCO has been deemed the national park a World Heritage Site.

Soak in the beauty of the seaside as we enjoy a stroll through the community of Norris Point. From here you will also enjoy a view of Gros Morne Mountain in the distance, a flattop slice of Arctic tundra far south of its usual range. Nearby, you will find the lighthouse at Lobster Cove Head, a literal landmark since 1898. Made of cast iron, the building is of great historical significance. It’s also one of the top spots for whale watching.

Following a delicious, local, seafood, you will spend more time exploring the wonders of Gros Morne National Park and understanding the plate tectonics that formed the majestic landscape. Afterwards approximately 1 hour,45 minutes you will return to the pier in Cornerbrook.
