If you like Texas, then you will love Newfoundland and Labrador. Everything here is on a gargantuan scale. This area is home to 40 million seabirds, 600,000 caribou and more than 5,000 humpback whales. There are thousands of pristine lakes teeming with millions of trout, hundreds of rivers and thousands of icebergs.
Newfoundland has some of the largest seabird sanctuaries and top-notch seabird viewing. Travel by boat or kayak through Witless Bay Ecological Reserve and you'll be surrounded by 95 percent of the continent's Atlantic puffins.
