Newfoundland Canada might not be on everyone bucket list, but believe me, it should be. If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, it is definitely worth the trip.

PLACES TO VISIT ON YOUR TRIP
Gros Morne National Park
If you love National Parks like I do, then you need to visit one of the best in Canada, Gros Morne National Park. The Park will remind you of Iceland and is truly breathtaking to see. The Park has great hiking conditions, fishing, iceskating, animal watching, ice climbing and wonderful star gazing. Trek up to the top of Gros Morne Mountain for fantastic viewing.
Whale Watching is a Must
Twillingate is a great place to go whale watching. There are many whale watching tours so take your pick. They all seem to work together so you won’t miss out on the action.
Looking for Wildlife
Newfoundland is known for great wildlife. And one of the best places to find them is Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. It is a great place to spot puffins during the summer and also the time to spot hundreds of thousands of sea birds. Located about 30 miles from St John’s, the reserve consists of four small islands. You can even spot black-legged kittiwakes and common murres by the thousands. Whales can also be spotted from the reserve.
