Experience some of the best hiking in North America.

Hike through challenging terrain and breathtaking scenery

A world-class hiking excursion is made up of several key elements - duration, challenge level and breathtaking scenery. Tell us what kind of challenge you enjoy and NewFound Outfitting will provide it.  We offer a memorable Newfoundland Hiking experience.

At 763 metres (2, 479 feet) of phenomenal beauty, the Blow-Me-Down mountains and Lewis Hills will take you from ocean views at sea level to the interior, where the towering summits of Newfoundland's tallest peaks await you.

Daunted? Don't be.

NewFound Outfitting has the right package for you - novice, intermediate or expert. Newfoundland hiking and backpacking excursions range from one-day treks to see the local sights and vistas to 12-day excursions to challenge your stamina and put your skills to the test.

For family-oriented hiking packages, or for those who do not prefer to pitch a tent, our base camp cottage will make you feel at home in the wilds of the Serpentine River valley, while still letting you take day treks along the mountain sides or around the river valley.

Some of the oldest geological landforms are found in the area. The weathered mountains, hills and valleys were once the bed of an ancient ocean. Uplifted after millions of years of tectonic shifts, these awe-inspiring heights are home to a wide variety of plants and animals from Pitcher Plants, our provincial flower, to browsing moose.
