Centered around the historic city of St. John’s, the oldest city in North America, this guided journey offers photographers and nature lovers alike an unforgettable opportunity to capture striking landscapes, iconic wildlife, and vibrant local life under expert guidance.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s dramatic coastline is framed by soaring cliffs, colorful fishing villages, and the vast North Atlantic Ocean. The tour begins in St. John’s, where you’ll photograph the iconic Jelly Bean Row, a stretch of vividly painted houses that lends a splash of color against the often moody sky. Wander the historic streets and head to Signal Hill to snap panoramic views of the harbor and the imposing Cabot Tower at sunset, with light trails adding dynamic energy to your shots.

Nature takes center stage as the group ventures to Cape Spear, home to the oldest surviving lighthouse on the island and the most easterly point in North America. Here, early risers can capture sunrise over the Atlantic, a scene marked by rugged coastlines and crashing waves. Travel along the northeast coast and the Bonavista Peninsula to seek out icebergs floating serenely in secluded coves, a highlight for any photographer drawn to raw, untouched scenery.

Wildlife enthusiasts will delight at the puffin colonies of Elliston and the Northern Gannet Colonies of Cape St. Mary’s. The landscapes are peppered with quaint fishing villages like Trinity and Quidi Vidi, their wharves and stages rich with maritime history and perfect for intimate, atmospheric shots of Newfoundland’s working waterfront.

A unique feature of this tour is the customizable experience provided by an international award-winning professional photographer who not only guides you to prime locations but also shares technical tips and local insights, perfect for beginners and seasoned photographers alike. Optional Zodiac boat tours deepen your adventure, offering chances to photograph whales, icebergs, and seabirds from the water, capturing Newfoundland’s raw natural beauty from unforgettable vantage points.

Accommodations and transportation are included, taking the hassle out of logistics so you can focus solely on your craft. This tour highlights why Newfoundland is a standout destination for outdoor and wildlife photography — a combination of rich cultural heritage, dramatic natural beauty, and dynamic seascapes that few places on earth can match.

Whether you’re chasing the perfect iceberg shot, the intense colors of fishing villages, or seeking inspiration from Atlantic wildlife, this 6-day private tour brings Newfoundland’s wild beauty to life through the lens. Capture memories that resonate long after you leave the island’s shores.
