ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE

Travel to Owl’s Nest Lodge can be either by air or ground. It is our recommendation that if you are flying, that you fly to Gander International Airport (Newfoundland), which offers connections from most major North American centers. If, because of arrival or departure times it is necessary to overnight in Gander, we have a special arrangement with the Hotel Gander for our guests to receive preferential rates. Your package includes ground transportation to and from Gander at the start and completion of your hunt to our base camp. If you choose to drive to Newfoundland then you would proceed to North Sydney, Nova Scotia and take a six hour ferry crossing to Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland and then a five hour drive to our base camp in the town of Buchans. Most people schedule their ferry crossing in the night so that they can avail of the onboard cabins.
