Guests Arriving By Air
We recommend that you fly into Gander International Airport, YQX (preferred), Newfoundland. You will typically arrive in Newfoundland sometime on Saturday and will require hotel reservations for Saturday night. Please note that you are responsible for all arrangements and costs for your travel and hotels. An A1Hunts representative will meet you, and other guests, at your hotel on Sunday morning and transport you 1 and 1/2 hours by a comfortable passenger van to our main lodge. There, you will be met and greeted by our friendly staff and guides, and settle in. Your hunt will begin very early on Monday morning, and end at dusk on Friday afternoon. We will transport you back to your airport/hotel, leaving our main lodge at midday Saturday.

Driving To Newfoundland
If you are driving to Newfoundland, you will need to stay on the Trans Canada Highway (TCH) all the way to North Sydney, Nova Scotia, where you will catch the Marine Atlantic Ferry for the 6-hour one-way trip to Port Aux Basque, Newfoundland. The vehicle-carrying ferry is impressive in size and features, including on-board dining and sleeping cabins, and is part of the TCH system. You should make your round-trip reservations for the ferry at least 2 months in advance of your intended travel date. For reservations and for more information, please contact Marine Atlantic via the following: toll free 1-800-341-7981 or www.marine-atlantic.ca
