Looking for a summer getaway? We’d recommend St.John’s Newfoundland, also known as the Amalfi Coast of Canada! Ok, maybe we just made that up but who can blame us with the colourful buildings, stunning ocean views and some of the most delicious seafood in the world.

If you’re taking a trip out to the east this summer you won’t want to miss these events happening in town.

Iceberg, Whale & Seabird Cruises

If you’re like us, the only ice you know in summer is the ones your drinks are cooling on. That being said, taking a trip to Newfoundland does have it’s perks - one of which is getting up close and personal with icebergs, even in the summer! Pass through Iceberg Alley while whale watching anytime.
