Thank you for showing us such a different part of North America. The fact that you dedicated six weeks to Newfoundland is amazing. Your cinematography is top notch.
I’m born and raised in Newfoundland (st. John’s) and it’s easy to take for granted how beautiful my province is, but then I get to see it through others eyes and it makes me fall in love all over again. Newfoundlander’s are very proud people and this video is a prime example of why we are so proud of where we came from.
Not that beautiful. Very isolated cold and wind blown. Ok to visit not to live year round. California and BC are far more beautiful with way better weather. Unfortunately they are way more expensive too.
I flew from the UK to Newfoundland and spent a brilliant week in St.John's back in 2015. It was my first ever solo trip and only my third time on a plane. I loved it. My abiding memory is standing on Signal Hill and realising that travel was the thing that made me happy and that I needed to see more of the world.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your NL travel vlog. You've done an incredible job capturing its beauty, ruggedness and splendor. It's been heartwarming to see my home province showcased with such appreciation, detail and care. Thank-you.
This has definitely made me homesick for my home city, St. John's! I haven't been back for years, and never appreciated how beautiful it was there growing up. It's definitely on my bucket list now to go back and hike some of the beautiful trails you've highlighted on the island. Thanks for bringing back fond memories:)
Can’t wait to travel to Newfoundland!! Great video....makes me want to go today! Saw ‘Come from Away’ on Broadway NYC what wonderful, kind, generous people. Love you Newfoundland 🤪💕
I went to many of these same places in the summer of 2022 with my dear mother. She's gone now but it was wonderful to experience these places with her. Memories.
Thank you for your kind words. You guys are a bright spot in my week and your videos a treat. I introduced your channel to a friend (he loved your energy immediately) who's never been to Atlantic Canada. We're now working towards making a trip there happen. Don't change and stay safe. I'll be watching. @@AdventuresofAplusK
I’m so glad to be watching this series and seeing my home so lovingly appreciated. My husband managed Cape Spear for years, Mallard is our favourite restaurant and Stiles Cove Path literally is 2 minutes from my house. So happy to see it all and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it. ❤❤
Love the east coast trail. Last time we were in St. John's we did the part right out of Quidi Vidi going north. When we got to the coast we watched whales. Great video. I made note of the restaurant. Looks great.
Lovely to see Cape Spear. We have a programme called Race Around the World - not sure if you guys get it (or have a US version)... I bet you guys would love it... but season 3 was crossing Canada and the finish line was at Cape Spear.
We haven’t heard of that, but it sounds just like The Amazing Race. Maybe it’s the North American version. We’ve had people ask us if we ever considered trying out for a show like that. Cape Spear was so freaking epic!
I hope you enjoy your lovely journey in st.john’s. Really it’s an amazing place. I moved here from Ontario. I loved this place. And you know what’s the amazing thing here is…. Newfoundlander here people are so nice and too much loving & caring and concerned. If you spend sometime with them you’ll definitely know how sweet they are. ❤🎉
Wow this looks awesome. I think it's one of my favorites of the series. I would love to see st John's. I watch Hudson and rex show its filmed there. I this it's soo cool. If you have never watched it, you need to. It's so cute. You guys are so awesome. Getting up so early to show us some magnificent sunrises and that beautiful awesome scenery along the coast.
Loved this! so glad you visited The Rooms. It is a fabulous regional museum that many people skip. We had lunch there and it was really lovely. I've especially liked your restaurant recommendations in NL. we are not really foodies and pretty much stuck with breweries ( we do love beer). Next year we will be more adventurous with food.
I lived in 3 different provinces and visited all others but Newfoundland. Your videos reinforce my desire to visit this gorgeous province in the near future. I’m wondering if you’re planning to tour the Cabot Trail on your way back? It can’t be missed.
Wow! Newfoundland is amazing and the food you were eating made me hungry. Just a thought, a merchandise idea -- you have got to put Kona on a coffee mug. That way one can have Kona on the inside and outside of a coffee mug.😀
Absolutely fantastic video guys. For a one night that walk at the end on the trail Epic. I have never seen waves like that on an ocean shore. So beautiful thank you so much!❤
Great series of videos on NL…I am originally from there and you did a great job showing the beauty of the area. I haven’t been back to visit in over 20 years, so much has changed in St. John’s since then. Thanks for sharing your experiences, I’m sure it will increase tourism to the Island.
You made me laugh as you played in the wind at Signal Hill. I've watched several of your videos on your tour of our island. I'm impressed with your info and capturing its beauty. So, I subscribed. Great work. (ps: you guys eat a lot😅)
I live where you just went st John's one thing is I love going lunch box best candies my fav and I love going to dogs where it's nice place to see look out to dog statues and massage about them in old days you can even finds some dead carbs they are just broken shells I like to collection them whenever I can find any or if there's any dare hiding in small spaces and the cool things around who sopt is so nice everywhere is I ues to go there alot
Well, I think the province can stop producing all their great tourism videos and just give links to your NEWFOUNDLAND series. They are simply THE BEST!
I am happy you don’t drink. I don’t either. Your work is beautiful. I never knew newfound was so beautiful. They used to have a Newfie accent. Thank you for wonderful work. I want to go to Newfoundland as soon as I possibly can, which may be never, but I can dream.
❤ Best video ever snd I think I have seen all of your videos. Amazing waves. I wish you had a additional video for 45 minutes of just waves.Glad you were able yo eat at that amazing place.
More, please! Another stellar showcase - thank you! And, "The power of water": Crashing, falling, pouring, soaking, refreshing - so many ways water soothes our mind, body, soul, and spirit!!
Those waves are so awesome and you did a beautiful bit of camerawork to catch the majesty of them. We thought maybe the tide was coming in. I don't comment often, but my husband and I love watching the videos of your adventures. Since I grew up on PEI, I was interested in seeing your reacations to the Atlantic Provinces!
A & K ... Watching your journey across Newfoundland makes me proud to be from the island! Its been so much fun to see the sights & sounds. Thanks for pulling on my heart strings as I live in Vancouver #homesick 😝
Completely understandable! Might be helpful to remember that Saint John, New Brunswick spells out the word "saint" instead of abbreviating it, and that St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador has an apostrophe S in its name. I do hope you have an opportunity to come visit us in St. John's sometime! Cheers!
So much to see and do on the Avalon. You could spend a week there. Pouch Cove, Trepassey and the seabird colonies, Ferryland and it's historic lighthouse on a narrow peninsula, Dildo (a pretty little village in addition to a bizarre name), just to name a few. Fun fact, the barrens to the south of St. John's are a lot like Arctic tundra, right down to the fauna (ptarmigans and caribou). There is a lot to see.
I'm surprised you didn't stop in Gander where all the trans-Atlantic flights ended up on 9/11. You were checking out the Newfoundland regiment uniforms, they were in some of the worst battles in WW1, they were at Gallipoli with the Australian and they were at the battle of the Somme where British commonwealth troops got beat up badly, the Newfoundlanders probably had it the worst, with 800 men leaving the trench and only about 35 able to make roll call the next morning.
Not all the trans-Atlantic flights landed in Gander. An equal number of them landed in St. John's but Gander got all the glory and rightly so. In St. John's we had more facilities to handle all those folks, whereas Gander and surroundling towns did not have the services that we did - but folks there made it work, taking strangers into there homes, etc. My husband was an immigration officer and I worked with Air Canada. We both worked around the clock and literally did not see each other for 6 days. My husband, who is a very funny man, left a note for me on the kitchen table in the midst of all this....."Hi, I'm the guy who shares your bed...do you think we can get together for a coffee?" I needed that laugh!
This Newfoundland series has been one of my new favorites. What a beautiful place that most of us don't think of. You all now have my parents planning a trip out there after we watched your videos together! Thanks for always taking us along A+K!! ❤
This has to be the most beautiful episode that I have watched from you guys! Absolutely stunning is the water and the waterfall into the ocean was unbelievable! THANK YOU so very much for bringing us along on your adventure!!!
When at Cape Henlopen, DE, I wanted to go to their over look to make coffee and tea on my truck tail gate while watching the sun come up. Missed it every time. (weather) Glad you guys caught it.
I agree with one of the other viewers, this series has been fantastic. I enjoyed this whole video from the sunrise to the colorful bldgs, to the food, to the water and waves and the drone shots! Super duper job!!! I want to go to Newfoundland!!
Love the town and you're having fun. It seems so impossible for me to drive 3,000 miles to Maine and get on a ferry, if I have a month . But flying will have to do, love that peaceful sunrise and sound of wave. I can sit out there for hours.
Thanks again for this great overview of the St. John's area. Absolutely fantastic shots of all the gorgeous scenery and spectacular coastline. This series has really been very entertaining! Cheers!
I loved your video. Vintage A+K. It left me happy and feeling good about St.Johns and Newfoundland. I was in St John’s a number of years ago but never explored it like you did. Fantastic video.
I love how you really get into places most of the time- so many of the travel RU-vid channels cover as much ground as they possibly can without really showing a place. (Side note- I saw Come From Away last night and if you are unfamiliar it is about when a whole bunch of airplanes had to land in Newfoundland on Sept 11 when the US airspace was closed- it’s an amazing show and it was extra interesting because I knew so much more about Newfoundland because of your videos)
Thank you! Yes we watched Come From Away one night while in Newfoundland. It was such an amazing show and we experienced the friendliness and kindness of locals while we were there!
You guys are great. I'm planning a trip from Vancouver to Watson Lake YK on the AlCan highway and then down south on the Stewart Cassiar highway. You have given me many good tips and I am grateful for that. Oh ya, I've got my sign all made up for the "Sign Post Forest" in Watson Lake , Yukon. Keep up the wonderful "reporting". God bless from the Philippines
That's awesome! Be sure to check out our guides on our website. We have detailed guides for both the Alcan, Stewart-Cassiar, and so much more! adventuresofaplusk.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-visiting-alaska/
I am from Nova Scotia but have never been to Newfoundland. Your series makes me want to get there soon to explore our amazing coastal province, similar to Cape Breton Island but on steroids! Your vlogs are top notch! Thank you for all your work!
This Newfoundland content is amazing. I’ve said before that Newfoundland was never on my radar before but WOW…it is now! Kinda reminds me of Ireland, where I went on my honeymoon. 😊
This series has been epic! Loved every minute of it! This particular Vlog is one of my favorite places y’all have been! It had everything I love to see…quaint colorful houses, beautiful ocean waters, rocky coastlines, waterfalls, fun trails and stunning scenery! My Bucket List keeps getting longer and longer! Thanks for all you do! Y’all do this so very well!!!❤
I love your Newfoundland videos! I am here in this wonderful place by marrying a wonderful Newfoundlander. And go on our trip round NL this year. Yall did an outstanding job and did so much homework. I am so seriously impressed! Thanks so much!!
My boyfriend and I found your channel and we’ve been binge watching the Newfoundland videos you’ve posted. Crazy I have lived here 30 years and haven’t seen some of the things you’ve posted in your videos. ALSO!!! Thank you for taking the time to learn how to pronounce Newfoundland! Love your channel, and will be watching in the future! Subscribed for future travel videos!!
Such a cute town! Loved the jelly bean row. The colors of the homes are so cheerful and vibrant! The homes tucked in the hillside looked so eclectic❤ Thank you for this amazing video.
Jellybean row was painted around the turn of the 2000s.. before then it was a lot of browns, muted reds, blues and other non-saturated colours. It definitely brightened everything up but as a lifelong newf I do miss the older/European look. Glad you were able to visit though.
it has been great to see how much of Newfoundland you have covered, i have friends from St johns, but i have to ask why do most Americans say erbs, you do know they are called herbs
I know that this might sound a little odd to some, but I really appreciate how you took the time to learn the proper pronunciations of the province and the various places you visited. I know that it might sound a little petty, but it is appreciated by the people who live there. Rarely do you come across a travel video of Newfoundland where they pronounce the names correctly. Great job!!
Thank you! We tried really hard to pronounce things as best we could! Thanks for recognizing that and for watching! We have a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back!
You guys ate a blessing to start my day out. You are a blessing and in this time of turmoil you give a peace to it. FB, CA.... PS, my Brothern-law watch you to. THANKS 😎
I did a "Screech In" for a friend's family several years ago. Some of them didn't drink either. So instead of Screech, I had them take a shot of undiluted Purity Syrup. If you know how horribly sickly sweet that is, then you know they did not get off easy!
@AdventuresofAplusK I've seen a bunch of inclusive Screech-In ceremonies where tea-totallers are offered local favourite Pineapple Crush, Purity Syrup, or Iceberg Water, and pregnant or nursing moms are offered milk or Iceberg Water. At the end of the ceremony, participants become "Honorary Newfoundlanders" and are given a certificate of their membership in the "Loyal Order of Newfoundland Screechers". Partaking in alcohol isn't a requirement to partaking in the fun! We fully understand and respect that people don't drink for any number of reasons, but we want you to enjoy every aspect of your visit to our fair province. ❤
I agree wholeheartedly with your opinion about these wonderful videos! Please allow me to point out one error, though. "Newfoundland" is all one word; I'd hate for you to be trying to make travel plans and have trouble doing so because of such a simple spelling error. 😊 Cheers from the beautiful province of Newfoundland and Labrador!
@@DebBradshaw You're welcome! And thanks for accepting my comment in the same way it was intended to be ... helpful and friendly, and not meant to criticize. I think you'll find that most Newfoundlanders are as helpful as they can be. Don't be shy to ask questions when you're visiting! Best wishes to you! 🙂
So so beautiful….I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this one! I love the colorful buildings, the amazing waves and the delicious food! Your vlogging skills have always been great but you continue to elevate and bring us first class content! You’re THE best on RU-vid! Thank you so much! ❤
Newfoundland is absolutely beautiful…the buildings, the coastline, the waves, the lighthouses and so much more…breathtakingly gorgeous! Thank you for continuing to show us all the beauty everywhere you travel!
