Battle Harbour, NL

Battle Harbour sits on a small island off the coast of Labrador in Canada. This restored 18th-century fishing village was once the bustling hub of the Labrador fishing industry. Today, it exists as a living museum that preserves and showcases what life was like more than 200 years ago. In 1996, the Battle Harbour Historic District was designated a National Historic Site. The heart of the town was the wharf and the waterfront, and the wooden and shingle-clad buildings erected in the late 18th and 19th centuries still stand today. You can learn about the region’s past through interactive exhibits and knowledgeable guides and view the meticulously preserved buildings, including the salt store, cooperage, and blacksmith shop. The town and the island also offer sweeping views of the surrounding Atlantic Ocean, and opportunities to go hiking and whale watching. The stunning landscape lends itself to photography as well. You can borrow a rod and reel and go fishing or grab a picnic basket and spend a few quiet hours eating and soaking in the scenery.

Included activities

Enjoy a scenic boat ride and discover Battle Harbour, a summer fishing station located off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, on the first day of your three-night adventure. Make your way to the Visitor’s Center in Mary’s Harbour in the morning. Plan to arrive no later than 1030 hours as your ferry will depart at 1100 hrs. Along the way, take in the sight of the rugged south Labrador coastline. Once you arrive at Battle Harbour, get your first look of the wharf before sitting down to lunch in the dining hall. After your meal, your guide will take you on an in-depth walking tour of the harbor. It is a National Historic Site and serves as a living museum that commemorates the life and society established by Newfoundlanders and Labradorians during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Learn about the history and design of the buildings in the harbor. Meet the islanders and pick up some local lore. After your tour, you will have time to explore the settlement on your own or hike one of the many trails in the area. (Duration: half day; Time: 1030 hrs; Shared activity & transfers; Meals included: yes; Please inform us of any food allergies in advance; Depending on the weather condition, the timing and date of this activity may change at a very short notice)

Group Tour of Battle Harbour (3D/2N): Day 2 – Explore Battle Harbour on your own

On the second day of your three night adventure in Battle Harbour, you are free to roam the island on your own and indulge your interests. Wander through the streets looking at the architecture. Some of the buildings are more than 200 years old and stand testament to the island’s rich maritime heritage. Head to St. James the Apostle Church to listen to the sound of its 170-Year-Old Pump Organ. You could even have a go at playing it. Borrow a kite and return to your childhood as the kite takes flight in the wind. Follow the 1.5 mile walking trail that will take you to various scenic points around the island. Explore the landscape in search of wildlife such as arctic foxes and seabirds. Depending on the season, you might see whales offshore as well. Rent a rod and a lure and try your hand at fishing off the historic wharf. Enjoy a meal featuring traditional Labrador dishes with a modern gourmet twist or grab a picnic basket filled with hearty fare and settle down at a cozy spot with views of the Atlantic Ocean.

After spending two days discovering Battle Harbour, make the return journey back to Mary’s Harbour by boat. Start your day with breakfast in the dining hall before heading to the departure point. The ferry departs from Battle Harbour at 0900 hrs, so you should plan to arrive by 0830 hrs. Once onboard, relax and enjoy the views of the coastline as you cruise back to the mainland.

What Our Guests Say

From my first interaction with Rebecca Alterman, who helped me book my amazing trip to Banff and Lake Louise, to my last interaction with Javier Gomez who took over seamlessly and helped guide me through last minute details, I’ve had a very positive experience with Enchanting Travels and would not hesitate to use again or recommend to friends. Rebecca Alterman was so patient, kind and informative during the planning process. I was very disappointed when she told me that I would be handed over to a different person that would be my trip agent. However, when I met Javier Gomez, I knew that I was in good hands. He was able to respond promptly and thoroughly to any questions I had prior to my trip and while on vacation continued to assist me as needed. He was WONDERFUL! Thank you so very much for assisting me every step of the way so we were able to enjoy the trip of a lifetime!
