Frank81 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Was thinking about planning a trip, driving to Newfoundland, but as I was looking at website and stuff, I am not really sure where to go. Has anyone been before? if so can you recommend city/town/village and place to stay? Thanks. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry b Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Save a couple days and fly was the advice I was given when I decided to go to Halifax this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 The closest I have been was Sidney Mines , N.S. but I ran out of roads ! My old buddy drove to N.F. in his motor-home & met a lot of very nice people on his travels . He said the people there are the most hospitable people he has ever met .He went back this fall to hunt moose & had a great time . He's in Florida now , back in 3 weeks . He could give you some good tips I'm sure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank81 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks guys! any info/recommendations help. We may just end up flying, Porter airlines have decent prices for round trip from Toronto to St. Johns. If we ended up driving, I would probably only go as far as Corner Brook.

bigugli Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 If you drive, 2 7-10 hour days will be spent on the ferry from Sydney to the Rock and back. Need to book space early. I do know that just abouts every pond and stream has brook trout. Small Mepps and Panther Martins will do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on the website for the ferry and that is an additional $244.60 to get on the rock and another $244.60 to get off. Definitely need to budget for that portion if we drive, guess even if we fly we would need a car rental so either way it's going to cost..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captnn Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Flew to St Johns, rented a car. Stayed in the Avalon Penninsula. Went to Cape Spear and did the Irish Loop. Interesting and scenic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
