Labrador Region
This is a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience for groups. Endless rivers, giant lakes, towering mountains and prodigious rock faces exist against a backdrop of a human history dating back almost 10,000 years. This is one of the last great wilderness areas in the world, with crisp, clean air and crystal-clear water. Labrador’s history is born of ancient Innu and Inuit people and hardy latterday Europeans. Both managed to thrive in a land that is both gentle and hostile. The area’s unique culture is celebrated in its folk festivals, and community events.
Routing
From Newfoundland’s Western Region, on the Viking Trail, take Route 430 north from Deer Lake to St. Barbe, the departure point for the vehicle ferry to Blanc Sablon, Quebec. From there, take Route 510 along 80km (50mi) of paved highways and another 330km (206mi) of good gravel road connecting communities along the southeastern coast of Labrador - known as The Labrador Straits. You will then be able to take the Sir Robert Bond 12 hour vehicle ferry ride from Cartwright to Happy Valley-Goose Bay and have the opportunity to tour Central Labrador. Another option for touring Central and Western Labrador is by utilizing a fly & drive into Happy Valley-Goose Bay or Labrador City/Wabush. From either point, you can drive through central and western Labrador to Quebec, along Route 500, the Trans-Labrador Highway, a class A gravel highway that provides groups with a unique adventure through the pristine wilderness of the Labrador interior.
