Langford adventure company active eco travel

This Just In!

August 24th 2011

We love to hear that people are enjoying their Langford & Company trips... especially while they are still on them! Lucky for us, one family is happily venturing through Quirpon, a beautiful spot at the northern tip of Newfoundland. (That`s the Quirpon Lighthouse Inn, perched on the landscape past the icebergs.)

Before they took the ferry allowing them these gorgeous views, they had the chance to enjoy Gros Morne National Park. Many go on a rigorous 16km hike that leads to the Arctic alpine wilderness of the Long Range Mountains and the highest point in the park, the Gros Morne Mountain. Rare vegetation clings to this barren landscape and hardy inhabitants like the Woodland Caribou, Rock Ptarmigan, and Arctic Hare are often seen. It hosts spectacular views overlooking the glacier-carved fjords of Bonne Bay and Ten Mile Pond. You can also see the beauty on a biking trip, or on a sea kayaking tour. Venturing out with a marine biologist is one way to learn about the unique marine ecology and unusual geology of Bonne Bay. Bald eagles, belted kingfishers, common and Arctic terns, and minke whales are common sightings from the water.

We offer an amazing Gros Morne Multisport Vacation so that you can join in on the action. The family should actually be in the air on their way to St. John’s at this moment! Hope they`re having a safe and smooth ride!
