Guides

Some questions aren't about one drive. These are the ones that come up before you've picked a destination at all.

• Where to see icebergs near Gander

  The province names Twillingate, Fogo Island and Change Islands among its more popular iceberg viewing spots. Here is how far each one is from the airport.

• Landing at Gander or Deer Lake

  Central Newfoundland has two arrival airports, 3h56 apart. Which one you want depends entirely on where you are going next.

• Where to base yourself for icebergs and Fogo

  We measured every plausible base against both headline draws. The nearest one has almost nowhere to stay, and the obvious one comes third.

• Change Islands

  A quiet outport island reached by ferry from Farewell — the pony sanctuary, the museum, and how to work out whether a day trip is even possible.

• The Baie Verte Peninsula

  A long road north with the region's best-known hiking trail on the way. What's up there, how far, and why it's a Deer Lake trip rather than a Gander one.

• Twillingate

  The iceberg town, and the one destination on this coast you reach entirely by road. What's there, and why no ferry is part of the appeal.

• When the boat doesn't sail

  Three of our destinations are reached by ferry, and every wharf has nothing at it. Where you actually go when a crossing is cancelled, measured.
