Researching the options and damn our Canada is big. I am looking for a printable version of the information on this site. If that is possible that would be terrific. If not, thank you just the same for having such excellent details. I would like to take one of these routes toward the end of August so any information is helpful.
Hi Brenda. The ferries are VERY booked up this year. Hello we are planning to be there 8 or 9th of august , Is it open? The ferry to Newfoundland. We are travelling from Montreal and we are both fully vaccinated. We are on vacation and we are planning to go from Montreal to deer lake. We need to take the ferry to port-aux-basques.
Hi, I have been in Ontario this 20 plus years since my last been home. Now retired and planning to move back but covid seems to ba a problem getting there. It seems New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has its borders closed to regular travelers. Do anyone know how this works now, can I drive through or not?? Also from Ontario, Toronto. My daughter lives near Gander. I advised her that I am getting my second Covid shot next week.
My plan is to drive thru to get the ferry to Argentina, NL and then hit St John and take the east coast drive to her house. Visit a few days then continue on to Port Aux Basque. My buddy has a Prevost 45 ft.
And a stacker trailer 22ft. How much would cost and how many days in advance thanks. First of all, this is a very nice website, good work. As a senior saving is very important to us. Do these ferries include the driver in the vehicle pricing? Hey Robert. Already big, distances get bigger when a landscape is twisted up and pulled like taffy like this one. Newfoundland just seems bigger, higher, longer, and more time-consuming when you're actually traveling in it than it looks on paper.
One quick example: The peninsula that extends northward along the west coast takes 8 to 9 hours to drive from Port aux Basques where the ferry from Nova Scotia docks to the tip at St. Anthony -- no Sunday drive, and one that requires planning and decision-making beforehand.
So you need to plan accordingly. A weekend in this province isn't even in the realm of possibility. A couple of weeks is enough for a bare-bones tour, though you'll still be frustrated by everything you missed. A month isn't really practical.
So, you're left with one option: focus, focus, focus. Select one or two regions you really want to see, narrow down on those, and save the rest of the province for another time in life -- hey, you can dream, right?
For those arriving by ferry, here's one itinerary you might try: If you've got less than a week, come and go via Port aux Basques, and focus on wonderful Gros Morne National Park, especially if you're an outdoors-oriented traveler. If you've got at least 2 weeks, arrive on and leave from different ports, and make a quick circuit of the island. For those arriving by air, St. John's is well situated for exploring the lovely Avalon Peninsula, and the intriguing Bonavista Peninsula also isn't too distant.
But if you have your heart set on venturing to Gros Morne or beyond, think again. You'll need a few weeks for that -- and several days will largely be spent behind the wheel of your rental car.
It's about 7 to 8 hours driving from St. John's to the national park. The best option, if you're dead-set on Gros Morne, is probably to fly into St. John's and depart via Deer Lake -- a more expensive option, but also one that gives you more time in the more spectacular places. The weather in Newfoundland could charitably be called "mercurial. Views are meant for lingering. So take your time in Atlantic Canada, where life feels a little slower — and views, a lot bigger.
