What does it mean to travel sustainably? It is about lessening our impact on the planet when we travel, increasing the amount of time we spend in a destination rather than destination-hopping, giving back to communities that we travel to, and supporting local community folks in the food we buy, the purchases we make, and learning from them first-hand through experiences.

Every year, massive chunks of ancient ice break off from glaciers in Greenland and the Canadian Arctic and make their way down the North Atlantic Coast carried by the Labrador Current. This centuries-old parade is part of the natural cycle and is a phenomenon best seen in Newfoundland and Labrador in the late spring.

With vast swaths of wilderness covering much of the country, it is no wonder Canada is one of the top places in the world for nature trekking. You’ll find scenic trails in every province and territory. Some, like the challenging multi-day West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island or the beautiful La Cloche Silhouette Trail in Ontario’s Killarney Provincial Park, require experience and proper planning, but others can be enjoyed on a day trip. Whether you enjoy an alpine climb or a coastal walk, there’s a Canadian day hike waiting for you.

Fogo Island which sits off the eastern coast of Newfoundland, faces the bracing North Atlantic. It is famous for the spectacular Fogo Island Inn, which is a model of regenerative tourism and the brainchild of Fogo Islander Zita Cobb. Locals say the island has seven distinct seasons and one of the favourites is Berry Season, which can run all the way until the end of November.

Each with its own style and design, lighthouses are an attraction and a delight for visitors. If you love them as much as we do, you’ll want to scroll through these gorgeous photos that not only celebrate the beauty and charm of the humble lighthouse but also highlight the diversity of Canada’s coastlines.

The Bonavista Peninsula is a region on the eastern coast of Newfoundland, about 3.5 hours north of St. John’s by car. It is said to be one of the first places Italian explorer John Cabot landed in North America back in 1497. Traditionally it has been an important area for cod and salmon fishing, and today it is known as a popular area to spot whales, birds, and icebergs. The scenery is a mix of rugged coastal cliffs often topped by grassy meadows. It is an incredibly beautiful coastline and, if you didn’t know any better, you’d think you were somewhere in Ireland.
