1. Learn about the history on a walking tour
If you want to learn more about Fogo’s fascinating history, join AL’s Walking Tour of Tilting and Oliver’s Cove. We met with local Al Dwyer in the charming town of Tilting, the only Irish settlement in Fogo. The accent of those from Tilting, including Al, sounds remarkably Irish, similar to what you would find along Newfoundland’s Irish Loop.Al is also a great storyteller and a wealth of information about the area. We walked through the Tilting Heritage site, where you can see well-preserved...
2. Go Iceberg Hunting
Depending on when you’re visiting Fogo, you may be treated to a fantastic show of icebergs. Every spring, giant glacial works of art break off from Greenland and float down the coast of Newfoundland, passing through what is known as Iceberg Alley. Fogo Island is a prime location to see those icebergs!
3. Fogo Island Whale Watching
During the summertime, you can spot whales from the shores of Fogo Island. Humpbacks and Minkes are the most common whales you can see here, but many other species are there – including dolphins! If you want to get closer to the whales (or icebergs), you can also join a boat tour. Fogo Island is also home to several other wildlife species, including birds, puffins, and a healthy population of Caribou which were placed on Fogo Island in the mid-twentieth century. It’s one of the best places fo...
Fogo Island is located in Central Newfoundland, about 120km North of Gander. There is an airport in Gander, so the most direct way is to fly there and then drive to Farewell to take the ferry to Fogo. However, most people who visit Fogo Island come from St. John’s on the East Coast or Gros Morne National Park on the West Coast. Fogo is in the middl...
Fogo is just 20 miles long and 9 miles wide, so you could drive it in a day if you wanted to. I’d recommend spending longer than that, especially if you want to hike. While visiting with the tourism board, we spent one night, and I didn’t feel it was enough – especially when considering that you have to take the ferry there and back. If I were to g...
Upon arriving in Fogo, we were starved, so we headed straight to the Bangbelly Cafe, a locally owned restaurant. They have such a diverse menu with many delicious-sounding items. I eventually decided on the special, which was a shrimp Bahn mi. You can upgrade your fries to potato wedges AND nacho toppings, which come highly recommended. You can als...
The ultimate place to stay on Fogo Island is the Fogo Island Inn, but since most people don’t have that kind of money to spare, here are some other options. For something more affordable, check out Peg’s place. This is where we stayed, and it was perfect. Centrally located and right across from a gorgeous view of Fogo. The woman who co-runs it, Eil...
Like all of Newfoundland, the weather in Fogo is crazy. Perhaps even more so. On the Fogo Island Inn website, they joke about having seven seasons. During our walk in Tilting, I made a classic Newfoundland mistake and wore a tank top and shorts because it was 30 degrees and full sun when we left. It started to downpour along the walk, and I got com...
