They usually feature good Newfoundland
and Labrador hotels but none can match our local knowledge, carefully
planned itineraries, or our authentic Newfoundland and Labrador
experience. Our excellent local leaders also add a unique magic to the
holiday experience. Most of the big touring companies lose their
guests in the impersonal settings of large 48-passenger coaches hosted
by folks who are unfamiliar with the many wonders and back roads of
Newfoundland and Labrador. We have had numerous guests who have
travelled with one of the large North American tour companies and
found themselves inspired to arrange a return visit with us so they
could experience the local flavours and settings of the marvellous,
curious and wonderous landscape that is Newfoundland and Labrador.
Comments like, "By the time we got out of the coach the moose (or
whale or eagle) had vanished!" are far too common among folks who
travel with the volume tour companies. We boast a much more authentic
travel experience with smaller groups, more personal attention,
experienced local hosts, the province's first and only nationally
certified tour director, and oodles more fun. We also give our guests
the chance to smell the flowers, meet the locals, and photograph the
wildlife.
One our biggest advantages is the
timing of our holidays. Our schedule is built around when the wildlife
and attractions are available for easy viewing. Far too many
travellers come to Newfoundland expecting to see puffins, seabirds,
icebergs, and our other wonders in the fall when they are not easily
found. Every year we hear from dozens of visitors who travelled with
outside companies expecting to see wildlife that had already left for
the year. This is why our Newfoundland Adventures end in mid August.
After this time, some of the planet's largest marine wildlife
populations have moved away from eastern Newfoundland. The region is
still beautiful but the star attractions are becoming scarce.
We invite you to quiz the competition
and check their dates and policies… we're confident you will select
Wildland Tours as your best choice for an escorted vacation in
Newfoundland and Labrador.
