Getting Here
Newfoundland & Labrador is a large province, with Gros Morne National Park located on the western portion. The park is about an hour’s drive from Deer Lake Airport, or four hours from Port Aux Basque, and the Marine Atlantic Ferry. It takes roughly 8-9 hours to drive from Port Aux Basque to St. Anthony (north), or St. John’s (east), be sure to budget enough time, or focus on one region in your travel plans. It can take over two weeks to really enjoy all of Newfoundland, at least 5 days to really enjoy Gros Morne.
