WHALEWATCHER TIPS FOR THE SELF DRIVE TRAVELLER
If you fly in you will arrive at St. John's Airport.  Pick up your rented vehicle and spend a few hours exploring St. John's. Grab a bite to eat at a restaurant. Then enjoy a leisurely  drive on Route 10 south from St. John’s to the Whalewatcher B&B  located at Bauline East. Check in, settle into whale watcher b&B interioryour room and take a boat tour of the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. 

 All rooms have en-suite bathrooms.  Enjoy the evening on the deck watching the puffins, whales and icebergs while reviewing your plans for the next few days. 

  The Whalewatcher Inn in is located on the best 30 kilometers of the East Coast Trail and there is plenty to do based out of the Whalewatcher Inn B&B. Nearby La Manche Park is the starting point for ‘La Manche Village Path’, an easy hike on the East Coast Trail.  You make your way, at your own pace and the trail comes out right next to the wharf in Bauline East where you can board our boat the MV Atlantic Iceberg for a puffin and whalewatching boat tour. whale encounters in newfoundland
You can spend the evening relaxing with the view or we can recommend other local activities for you to enjoy. 

Perhaps the next morning you  travel a few minutes down the road to nearby Cape Broyle for a morning sea kayaking with Wilderness Newfoundland Adventures – no previous experience paddling necessary!icebergs and kayaking  
Afterwards, travel to Ferryland where you can take a guided tour of the archaeological site at the Colony of Avalon, first home of Lord Baltimore. It is one of the best preserved  sites of early European settlement in British North America . We recommend you pay the fee for the guided tour and admission to the museum where you can see how elegantly the first settlers in Newfoundland lived!   Hike another path of the East Coast Trail from the Colony of Avalon out to Ferryland Head lighthouse and back to your car.

More helpful hints

Remember that you can get direct flights to St. John's, (with an apostrophe s)  Newfoundland from Halifax, Montreal and Toronto. Depending where you are coming from, you might get better connections via different routes.

If you are trying to use Aeroplan (or other) travel points, you might not get yourself all the way to St. John's Newfoundland on points but if you can get as far as Halifax, Montreal or Toronto, you might save again on your overall airfare. 

For folks from Europe, don't forget about ZOOM Airlines  they can get you to Halifax, and then you can get local airfare, and again save on your overall travel costs .Astraeus Airlines  provide direct, year-round service from St. John’s International Airport to London’s Gatwick Airport.


Also, don't forget the multi-destination feature when you are booking your flights, this could again save you precious time on your holiday.  You don't need to backtrack if you arrive in St. John's and depart from Deer Lake.
