2021 Ford CampervanAbsolutely loved experience and time we had in this van! The beds and pillows were super comfortable and we found the van was fuel efficient. It was so nice to wake up right by the ocean and have the convenience of everything right there. Caroline was super responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend Caroline for this kind of trip!

Cape Spear National Historic Site
The oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland and Labrador, Cape Spear looks out onto the deep waters of the Atlantic - where Humpback whales are often seen breaching. This is one of the most iconic places in Canada, and here you'll definitely get a glimpse of life in the 19th century as well as our history. The site has extensive trails to explore, and one of the most amazing experiences here is watching the sun come up over the horizon.
