"The largest offshore island of Newfoundland and Labrador with roughly 2,000 full-time residents, offering hiking along a craggy shoreline and a stay option at the Fogo Island Inn — a "high-design" hotel with floor-to-ceiling windows in every room for optimal landscape viewing." - Stacey Leasca

An amazing place beyond our imagination and expectation! We had a wonderful 2-night stay here, hike by the shore, watch the sunrise and sunset, visit the galleries and lovely shops. A must visit place in Canada!

The people and the scenery was fabulous. Take the hiking trails, there are many and well taken care of. I’m so impressed with the recycling effort on Fogo Island. All round great experience.

Fogo Island offers a new experience everyday, you can visit us all year long, and enjoy the beautiful landscape. Very picturesque, as the seasons change. Accommodations and restaurants are open all year. Many things to do, pond ice skating, skidooing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, hiking and even duck hunting.

My mother lived in Fogo for 17 years of her life, and I have been in and out of fogo for almost a decade, just touring the island. I was not disappointed with every experience I have had in Fogo, where many trails and walks around the island can satisfy many peoples boredom. It is very different to urban areas, and is very calming, as opposed to cities and urban areas, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a vacation.

I have lived in Tilting on Fogo Island since 2012. In my opinion it is the only place to live for me. Winters are not that cold. Summers are short but spectacular. In the spring, the icebergs pass by Tilting harbour. Often stopping for an extended stay.

It is a beautiful island and worth a visit. But the main attraction remains the extraordinary inn. The seasons have a big influence on your visit and activities. So plan ahead and plan well. I think the main reason to go there is to experience the beauty and isolation. It is a peaceful place to visit with many warm and friendly people. Just go there to just relax and do nothing. The journey to the place from St John's has many places to visit and of course the spectacular Gros Morne national park. If you are going to New Foundland you must go to Gros Morne national park and fogo island inn.
