Cruising on the Bonne Bay - Gros Morne National Park - Newfoundland

Woody Point, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland



The Gros Morne National Park offers through a concessionaire another great boat trip on Bonne Bay overlooking this fabulous park and surrounding villages ($40/person). We started off by taking a water taxi from Woody Point over to Norse Point where the boat was located. It was a fun "cab" ride.

The crew offers a fun fulled trip and its narrated throughout. We felt the crew went out of their way to be sure everyone had a good time. As we set off fog started to roll in. It was fun to watch.

It blocked for awhile our ability to go out of the bay but eventually it disappeared as quickly as it had come in. It was a great way to see the little villages, rock formations, and cliffs. 









We even cruised by where our motorhomes are hanging out right now at the Water's Edge.

At the end the crew got together and played  a few Newfie songs. It was a great trip. 

We soon will be leaving this beautiful place. It's been a really great visit. Now we are going to cross over to the east coast of Newfoundland to the town of Placentia. It's a great birding area. Check back soon!

My Favorite Coastal Trail - Gros Morne National Park Newfoundland

Woody Point, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland



There is a little village in the Gros Morne National Park called Trout Lake. We found the prettiest trail one afternoon which started at the top of 149 steps. It was lush and green with spectacular views of the bay. It was magical!




We could only stay for a little awhile but it sure would be a great place for a picnic. The sign said travel at your own risk, however, we felt it was well maintained and an  easy 1 1/2 mile trail.

Afterwards we had a nice lunch and stopped at a cute little gift shop with all kinds of handmade gifts and the perfect name - Hunky Dory. What a perfect day.
