The crossing you arrive onSeasonal — Argentia is not the year-round crossing
Port aux Basques runs through the winter; Argentia does not. Confirm the sailing first, because the other landing is on the far side of the island.
marineatlantic.ca →MooseYear round, worst between dusk and dawn
The province says the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime. This is 561.9 km, much of it unlit two-lane highway; plan the drive for daylight where you can.
gov.nl.ca →Road conditionsYear round, matters most November–April
Conditions at one end of the island say little about the other. Check before you set off.
