How to get to Newfoundland

Newfoundland is an Island with three ferry routes and three airports. St. John’s Airport is the most popular way to fly into Newfoundland. You will arrive in the city, less than 15 minutes from downtown. If you’re planning on visiting St. John’s and maybe taking a day trip to a nearby area, this is a great option. Keep in mind, though, that if you’re interested in visiting Gros Morne National Park, that is an 8-10 hour drive from St. John’s. There are two other airports; one is in Gander, famously known for the musical come from away. This one is three hours away from St. John’s and still around 5+ hours to Gros Morne. The third airport is in Deer Lake, which is 5+ hours away from St. John’s but only around 1 hour to Gros Morne. Flights in and out of Gander and Deer Lake will have fewer flight options and may be more expensive, and you may have a stopover in St. John’s. Though some new airlines in Canada, such as Flair, have been introducing cheaper flights to airports like Gander and Deer Lake.There are three Ferry routes to Newfoundland. Both the Argentia and the Port Aux Pasque Ferry leave from Sydney, Cape Breton. The Argentia Ferry is 13 hours overnight and gets you to a terminal around 1.5 hours out of St. John’s. The Port Aux Basque ferry is a 7-hour trip, either daytime or overnight. You get off in Port Aux Basque, which is a couple hours away from Gros Morne and around 13 hours to St. John’s. If you’re considering the roadtrip option and would like to see as much of Newfoundland as you can in one trip, you could arrive via one ferry, road trip across the island and take the other ferry back. The third Ferry option connects to Labrador.
