Planner

Plan your trip

Arrive and leave through the same airport or ferry, or arrive at one end of the island and leave from the other. Every drive is measured, and your days are laid out for you.

More options: 250 km a day

You set how far a day; the plan answers with days. Distances are by road. Your maps app gives the time on the day.

Renting? Book the car when you book the flight. Cars book up fast in summer, says the province's tourism desk; in June 2026 CTV reported St. John's airport agencies booked for nearly the whole summer.

Moose. The province states that the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime — Transportation and Infrastructure.

What is on the way

In road order, not merit order — we do not rank places. The figure is what the detour actually costs, measured. Add one and the map and days redraw.

    Your days

    In road order. Where two neighbouring places are a shorter drive the other way round, they swap. The leg times below are the measured drives, out and back included.

      Camping: campgrounds are in the list of places above, marked "campground", and each night offers the nearest one. Hotels and B&Bs aren't listed here. The guides: Gros Morne and Terra Nova's campgrounds and the provincial parks, each measured from the ferries too.

      Know a place to stay that's missing? This list comes from OpenStreetMap, so nobody can pay to be on it. Add it to the map yourself (about twenty minutes on a phone), or email us the details and we'll put it on the map.

      It does not know what is open, what the weather will do, or whether a ferry is running — those live on the linked pages, with their sources. It has no opinion on where to sleep.
