Bicycle touring on the Viking Trail, with a fjord cruise, all the highlights of Gros Morne National Park and L'Anse aux Meadows, and a series of spectacular lodges including an island lighthouse.

This Newfoundland bike tour is fantastic - well suited to intrepid explorers with lots of energy for the hills, distances, and sheer joy of traveling through such a wild and exciting landscape. Riding with the prevailing wind through picturesque fishing villages, you will encounter people whose unabashed friendliness is truly extraordinary. You will bike and hike in Gros Morne National Park where the incomparable landscape and unique natural history have earned it a place on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. Hike to the top of Gros Morne Mountain and take a boat into a fjord akin to those of Norway. You will visit the 1000 year old site where the Vikings landed and settled long before Columbus, at L'Anse aux Meadows (another UNESCO World Heritage Site). While you enjoy the landscape, the wildlife, the people and the history, your comfortable support van will always be nearby. This is one of our favourite trips and we hope you can come to see why.

Trip history: Founder Cathy’s family came from Newfoundland, and Philip stopped in its outports while on fishing boats prior to starting Freewheeling. Their familiarity and appreciation for the people and land made it an obvious choice for expansion. In 1994, they thoroughly explored the Viking Trail’s cycling and hiking possibilities. Although the infrastructure was basic, there were some genuinely excellent inns which helped make a particularly attractive itinerary. Freewheeling connected with the College of the North Atlantic based in Cornerbrook, and started employing guides from their outdoor program. These passionate adventurers brought an enthusiasm for Newfoundland’s nether regions that further enhanced our knowledge and familiarity. You will meet some amazing people while having unusual fun on this trip..
