Booking with Hanover Holidays is the most comfortable trip one could ever take. Just returned from the Viking Trail of Nfld and Labrador. Our tour director Jan and bus driver Daphne were both supreme! The tour had some many events and every hotel excellent, meals were always great. The tour included several live musicians, light houses and fun people. We had a fresh lobster lunch, Enjoyed a dinner together and became members of the Royal Order of Screechers. A fun nite. We were truly blessed with warm weather. A heart warming trip to these great places.

Flowers Cove, L’Anse aux Meadows, Ben’s Art, Dark Tickle jams ... and lots of icebergs on one of the most beautiful coastal drives.
Q Tip: Pack some Canadian raw-milk cheese, Costco almonds and a little chocolate plus drinks for a picnic for that added stopping flexibility on your tour to the northern tip.

I have driven the trail four times. The first time we drove we remarked how it reminded us of Scotland. As with all drives in Newfoundland. Watch your gas gauge.

Once were we finished going through the village, we did the Viking trail... Beautiful scenery. Makes you appreciate how the Viking survived in this rugged climate. You can climb up to that statue and take you pic with the Vikings lol

This road is just loaded with attraction from Cow Head north.Not just a road to spped through. There is a historic site in Port au Choix, along with art shops.A nice french cultural center. A salmon interpretive center. Some of the world's oldest fossils of early life. There is the ferry to Labrador, several walking trails. Then, when you get north, the attractions of St. Anthony's, and the viking sites. Take a full day to enjoy the journey.

I see other folks writing that they found this road to be pretty good. I reckon they might be driving a small car, not a camper...........my experience was that the main road has good parts but some truly terrible parts with potholes, washboard asphalt, heavily grooved rain channels (causing hydro-planing), small to non-existent shoulders, etc. Yes the scenery is fabulous, for any passengers. The driver will mostly be watching the road and the traffic.

We drove this from Gros Morne to St Anthony twice. The views are incredible, great places to visit along the way and even in the rain it was a very scenic and somewhat educational drive. If you are thinking about doing it, we highly suggest you do!

Amazing scenery! Some of North America's early formation of Newfoundland (millions of years ago). A great view of fjords, mountains and different terrain and vegetation.

There is so much to explore, and knowing that the ancient Maritime Archaic people, and the Vikings , preceded the Europeans in discovery of our land is jaw dropping......they had to be SO resilient, and brave to live in this landscape.

Up the western side of Newfoundland...as the name suggestions...you are following along the same "path" as the Vikings took in days of old. Great views and lots to see including whales, caribou, and moose!

Written September 13, 2018
The trail itself is very long (and paved) and follows the west side of the island. You would be fine in a sports car! Enjoy!
