Arriving In Newfoundland By Air

The airport in Deer Lake, Newfoundland (YDF) is serviced by Air Canada with several daily flights from Toronto and Halifax. We kindly advise our guests to allow an extra day at each end of the hunt to permit transfers to and from hunting camp. You should arrive in Deer Lake, NL the day before your hunt begins, and book your departure for the day after your hunt ends. This will allow time to fly out of camp if the weather is bad, and to arrange processing and shipping of the meat/ trophy. The Deer Lake motel is pleased to provide a special rate for our guests who wish to stay extra nights before or after your hunt dates.
