About The Port Of Norris Point
Norris Point sits on the shores of Bonne Bay, a deep glacial fjord tucked within Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site prized for its rare geology. The surrounding landscape reveals the Tablelands, a barren expanse of ochre rock where the Earth's mantle lies exposed at the surface, alongside fjord-carved cliffs and forested highlands shaped by ancient glaciers and shifting tectonic plates.
The village itself is a modest fishing outport, its wooden homes and small harbor reflecting Newfoundland's outport traditions. Norris Point serves as a natural gateway for exploring the national park, with trails, boat tours, and interpretive sites within easy reach. Visitors arriving by tender can walk directly into the community, making it a convenient starting point for venturing into one of the region's most striking natural landscapes.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Norris Point.
Explore the Tablelands
Walk among the rust-colored peridotite rock of Earth's mantle, exposed by ancient tectonic upheaval. Reachable by a short drive from the harbor, a guided or self-led trail reveals this rare, near-lifeless landscape up close.
Cruise Western Brook Pond
A boat tour glides beneath sheer 2,000-foot cliffs carved by glaciers into a freshwater fjord landlocked from the sea. Requires a short hike to the dock and advance booking, as sailings fill quickly.
Wander the Outport Village
Stroll past weathered wooden homes and small wharves that capture Newfoundland's traditional fishing culture, all within easy walking distance of the tender landing.
