Planning a trip to Gros Morne National Park during your working holiday in Canada? Here’s a quick guide to help you make the most of your visit to this stunning location: - Getting There: Choose between flying directly to Newfoundland and renting a car, or driving to North Sydney and taking a ferry. Both options have their pros and cons in terms of cost and travel time. - Ideal Stay Duration: Spend about 5-7 days if you're into hiking to fully enjoy the trails like the Tablelands and Gros Morne Mountain. Non-hikers might find 2-3 days sufficient. - Accommodation Tips: Stay in Rocky Harbour for proximity to many trails or Woody Point for the Tablelands trail. Consider Deer Lake for more budget-friendly options, though it's a bit farther from the park. - Best Time to Visit: June to August offers the best weather. Shoulder months like May and September can also be pleasant but prepare for unpredictable weather. - Must-Do Activities: Don’t miss the Western Brook Pond boat tour for a fjord experience, and if hiking isn’t your thing, check out the Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse or take scenic drives with no walking required. - Budgeting: Factor in costs for transport, accommodation, and park passes.
