The ultimate Gros Morne travel guide: How to plan your perfect trip
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. Utilize the Pvtistes deal with Thrifty for car rentals to save some cash. Ready to explore the rugged beauty of Gros Morne? Dive into the full article for more detailed tips and personal insights to ensure a memorable adventure!
