Backroads New North America Trips ? Late-Breaking Launches: 

Newfoundland Walking & Hiking Tour 
This region on the easternmost edge of North America is as beautiful and welcoming as it is wild and remote, with breaching whales, dramatic cliffs, flourishing wildflowers and quaint, colorful villages all giving it the feeling of a place out of time. Guests will enjoy hiking off-the-beaten-path trails and vacationing at amazing locally owned and operated hotels, from the Fishers' Loft Inn to one of the planet's most extraordinary properties, the Fogo Island Inn.  

Vancouver Island Multi-Adventure Tour
