RouteXpert Review The crossing takes 7 hours and on New Foundland you still have 220 kilometers to drive to Corner Brook. You can plan the crossing in the evening after, for example, driving a nice ride on the day of departure or at the end of day 29 and choosing not to stay overnight in North Sydney. You can then enjoy a drink on board in one of the bars and then sleep to arrive well rested in New Foundland. If you choose to continue driving in the evenings after an afternoon crossing, keep in mind that there is no lighting along the roads, so beware.
You can also leave in the afternoon, but then it is important to book an overnight stay in Port aux Basques because you arrive between 19:00 and 20:00. More information about the ferry departure times can be found in the link at the bottom of the review. On board the ships are several restaurants and bars and if you want to sleep you can book a cabin.
The drive from Port aux Basques to Corner Brook is approximately 220 kilometers on the Trans Canada Highway NL-1. The road is a two-lane road through a very beautiful area with hills, mountains, lots of greenery, rivers and lakes. In some sections, the road is three- or four-lane to safely overtake slower vehicles.
Newfoundland was the site of a collision between the tectonic plates of the new and old world, about 400 million years ago. This has created the immense highlands of western Newfoundland and makes for the beautiful scenery with beautiful vistas, so enjoy the ride with Saint Lawrence Bay on one side and the mountains on the other.
Along the route itself is not much special to stop for. You can stop at several places to enjoy the beautiful panoramas, a number of points are marked with an RP and POI. I therefore rate this route with 3 *** Stars.
