St.John's, our capital is about 4
1/2 hours flying time west of London and can be reached by a
direct flight 4-5 times per week.

Flying
here:
You should fly in to Gander, NL (CYQX) in travel agent lingo, on or before
the Saturday before you will go to camp. We usually leave for our camp on the afternoon of the Sunday your week
starts. Combo hunters will be taken in to Trophy Hunts camp by float aircraft
on Sunday Morning.
Driving here:
Driving to Newfoundland can be a very pleasant experience. We have made
the trip many times from the USA, crossing the border in Maine and
continuing on to North Sydney, Nova Scotia where you get the ferry.
The Newfoundland ferry to Port-Aux-Basques leaves N. Sydney several times a day
and usually takes about 5 1/2 hours to cross the 100 miles.
Some crossings are day and some are night. You should make reservations as
soon as you know your travel dates.
It takes 2 days to reach us from Calais,ME or Holton,ME. One day to drive to the ferry in North Sydney,NS. Then you get the ferry.
Reserve a cabin and spend overnight on the boat. Go to the Marine Atlantic site The Newfoundland ferry and you will see the schedule. You should make your return trip and cabin reservations at the same time, you can always change them to a later crossing, if necessary.
There is just one road, the Trans Canada
Highway. Stay on this until you reach Gander. At Gander take a
left turn on Route 330 and drive to Gander Bay (26 miles/41
KM). The first community you come to is George's Point. As you get
there, you cross a short concrete bridge about 150 feet long. Slow
down and about 500 -600 feet past the bridge, you turn left down a
short gravel road and drive to the Gander Bay boat basin and
wharf. Our guides will meet you there and transport you to the
lodge by riverboat. You can park your vehicle in the parking lot
at the wharf.
When is my
final payment due?:
Deposits are due on booking and final payments are due 30 days prior to your
trip,(60 days outside North America). We prefer that you use a bank check or
