Planning a 2025 Newfoundland trip? From flights to hidden gems, these smart travel tips—curated near Whale House Guest House—make your adventure epic.
Fly Smart, Save Big
St. John’s (YYT) is your Avalon hub—book midweek flights (Tuesdays beat weekends) for deals, often $100 cheaper from Toronto or Halifax. Gander (YQX) or Deer Lake (YDF) can slash costs too. Connecting via Europe? Save big on flights from London Gatwick (LGW) to St. John's (YYT) with carriers like WestJet and Air Canada—Pro tip: YYT’s new shuttle services (like Whale House’s VIP ride) ditch rental car hassles— Book you Newfoundland Luxury Hot Tub Suite and start enjoying from the moment you arrive.
EV Charging Hacks
Newfoundland’s EV network rocks—rapid chargers hit every 70km on the Trans-Canada, with free level-2 spots growing (try Whale House’s public charger). Off-grid? Fishing wharves offer 240V outlets—pack a NEMA 14-50 adapter for a quick boost. Charge while you explore!
Ferry Like a Local
Marine Atlantic’s ferries from Nova Scotia (Port aux Basques or Argentia) are a scenic steal—book cabins 6 months out for peak summer, or snag last-minute cancellations via their app. Argentia’s closer to St. John’s—perfect for a Whale House hot tub soak after docking. New to ferries? Check our guide—or, if cabins are full, our tips for sleeping comfortably without one.
Stay Near the Action
Base yourself smart—near St. John’s, Whale House Guest House puts you 30 minutes from downtown, 40 minutes from YYT, and steps from the Tinker’s Point Path and The Fork Restaurant. Book the Blue Whale Superloft early—those hot tubs are a hot ticket!
