The Green Gardens Hiking Trail is located in the Gros Morne National Park on the island of Newfoundland. The Newfoundland and Labrador Province is the easternmost province of Canada, with its own climate, geoformations, and wildlife. The park is on the western side of the island, looking across the Gulf of St. Lawrence to mainland Canada.
Beginning in the rugged trails of the Tablelands, your program will take you through the unusual terrain of Gros Morne, which includes exposed mantle. Our path winds through boreal forests to the coast, where we reach sea cliffs of volcanic rock and see the thriving lush meadows and fascinating geology. The afternoon consists of meandering through fields of wildflowers, exploring the shore, and examining the history of the rocky coastline.
You can keep your eyes peeled for sheep, as the region was long used as a summer range for livestock and some of its wooly descendants remain today. There are also caribou, moose, and other remarkable wildlife to discover, and catching a glimpse of a whale off the coast is not out of the question during the early summer months.
This trip gives you a little bit of everything. You can pass gorgeous forestland after the barren landscape of the Tablelands and finish your hike with the coastal views that round out a perfect afternoon. We will return the same way we came, taking every opportunity to appreciate this captivating region at every bend in the road.
This program is a wonderful day hike for anyone enthralled by the beauty of Newfoundland and Labrador. You should be in reasonable shape for a day of hiking through some steep and rugged sections along the trails.
We love Canada’s natural beauty and are always excited to show it to others. We will ensure you have a fun, safe, and utterly fulfilling adventure that will make you want to return to this fabulous slice of nature.

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
