  1. Stop 1: Trans-Canada Highway Zero Km

    OpenStreetMap records a highway milestone here reading distance zero, named for the Trans-Canada Highway. This route turns south instead of taking the Trans-Canada, but the marker stands in downtown St. John's, on the way.

45.6 km. St. John’s airport through downtown, then Route 10, the Southern Shore Highway, through Bay Bulls to Witless Bay. Close enough for a half day, coming or going.

Why people come. The Witless Bay Ecological Reserve: four islands just offshore that the province says hold North America’s largest Atlantic puffin colony. Landing needs a permit, so you see them from licensed tour boats; the province names the operators, and says the trips also turn up whales and icebergs. Go in season: the province says the birds are ashore May to August, and the boats run spring through fall.

Icebergs recorded here, not at 48°N

The odds on this site come from the count of bergs crossing 48°N, out in the shipping lanes. These are the ones the same patrol recorded near Witless Bay itself, across 19 seasons (2002–2021), counted as distinct icebergs rather than sightings.

At least one was recorded within 50 km in 15 of those 19 seasons. The middling season brought 36; the heaviest, 100 in 2019. Widen to 100 km and the middling season is 116.

This is not what you would see from the shore. It is where a patrol whose job is shipping recorded ice, so where they looked shapes it, and a berg 50 km out to sea is not a berg in the harbour. The record runs to 2021 and stops there. From the International Ice Patrol Iceberg Sightings Database (NSIDC G00807), built 2026-10-07.

Before you go

These change, so we link to the people who keep them up to date.

  • Puffins and the tour boatsSeabirds ashore May to August; boats spring through fall

    The province says the seabirds return to land only from May to August to breed, and that the licensed boat tours run spring through fall. Most people make this drive for what is at sea.

    Check it now →

  • MooseYear round, worst between dusk and dawn

    The province states the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime. Much of this short drive is city street, but the last stretch is Route 10, two-lane highway between the Southern Shore communities.

  • Road conditionsYear round, matters most November–April

    Most of this drive is city and suburban street, and the rest is Route 10 down the coast. 511 is the province's road-conditions service. Check it before leaving the airport, whatever the weather at the terminal.

The trails

Renting a car? Book the car when you book the flight.

Summer rentals sell out, says NL Tourism, and in June 2026 CTV reported St. John's airport agencies booked for nearly all of summer.

Both read 2026-10-07.

Arriving without a car

Not renting? Here's who St. John's International Airport Authority lists at the door. Fares change, so we link to them instead.

Rideshare: it depends who you ask.

The Airport Authority's own ground-transportation pages name City Wide Taxi as “the exclusive provider of ground transportation services for the public” and do not mention rideshare anywhere. Uber publishes pickup instructions for YYT, and the Airport's own account welcomed Uber in 2024. Both are true. The Authority's pages govern the kerb, so check them on the day.

  • Taxi

    City Wide Taxi, which the Airport Authority names as the exclusive provider for the public. Cabs queue outside the Arrivals area and a dispatcher is there to help. The Authority publishes preset fares to named hotels and a meter-plus-surcharge rate everywhere else.

    (709) 722-7777

  • Public transit

    Metrobus route 14 runs between the airport and the St. John's metro region, including Memorial University. There are two stops at the airport: one near the arrivals area, and one on World Parkway by the Holiday Inn Express. The Authority says Metrobus has committed to a wheelchair-accessible service on this route and can take large, non-folding mobility aids. Schedule and fares are Metrobus's.

The drive back

Measured the other way, Witless Bay back to St. John's is the same distance: 46 km.

Questions people actually ask

How far is the drive from St. John's Airport to Witless Bay?＋

45.6 km on Routes 40, 2, 3 and 10: out through downtown St. John's, then down Route 10, the Southern Shore Highway, through Bay Bulls to Witless Bay.

Should I fly into St. John's, Gander or Deer Lake for Witless Bay?＋

St. John's: 46 km to Witless Bay. Gander is 316 km away and Deer Lake 619 km. Land at Gander or Deer Lake only if Witless Bay is one stop on a longer loop across the island.

What's the draw at Witless Bay?＋

The Witless Bay Ecological Reserve: four islands just offshore that the province says hold North America's largest Atlantic puffin colony, and the second-largest Leach's storm-petrel colony in the world. Landing on the islands takes a research or special-access permit, so people watch the birds from licensed tour boats. The province lists the operators with valid permits, and says those trips also turn up whales and icebergs.

Is there anywhere worth stopping on the way?＋

Two, both in the first stretch before the road turns south: the milestone marking the Trans-Canada Highway's zero kilometre and the Railway Coastal Museum in the old train station. See the stops above.
