- Fogo Island might be more famous than Gaultois, but it is also pretty remote: • THIS is Canada’s Most ...
A day trip to the beautiful town of Gaultois is a highly recommended stop on any adventure around the Connaigre.

There are lots of remote locations around Newfoundland that are worth the effort to get to. Here's one more that's definitely more well known, but no less amazing: czcams.com/video/tjXNdl_YeHk/video.html
Yes!!! I saw that video before; loved it then and love it now! It was a treat to watch it again. Thank you!
Canada has benefited to have Newfoundland & Labrador which has brought rich history, friendly people and beautiful landscapes. As a Vancouverite from BC visiting there for the first time in 2023, spent a month traveling through the province from St. John's to St. Anthony and enjoyed it so much that I'm going back for a second visit in August 2024.
Wow, where else in the world would a ferry come back! That is one amazing story and says plenty for the folks of Newfoundland!! What a wonderful day!!
Over the course of an amazing 5 day road trip, I am confident that the ferry coming back for me will stand out as the most unexpected event of all haha
If you had kept going up to the bottom you would have found a store to buy some food 😊
My beautiful hometown ❤ I grew up in the valley which is up above the fish plant. So many wonderful memories of growing up there and we all wouldn’t change a thing. Was a great place to grow up in that’s for sure ❤❤
And that man on the warf when you got off was my Uncle Doug ❤😊
That is so cool. Your uncle!! Haha!
I knew about the store from a CBC article from last year but I couldn’t find it. I’ll go back to see Gaultois in the summer and I’ll spend a bit longer there to make sure I cover every corner of that beautiful place. Thanks for the tip!!
I was in Gaultois once. Beautiful spot. Not many places in the world will the ferry turn around for 1 passenger, and not even make a big deal out of it, but rural NL is not a normal place. If you wanted to stay the night all you had to do was knock on someone's door. They would of said "come on in me son for a cup a tea!!" Enjoyed the video!!! Yeah!!
Isn't going thers like leaving the Rock and getting on to a smaller piece of it? Looks like a nice place 👍👍
@@Zzus321 yes. A island of rock off of the rock lol
@@bigd9040 You and Nerfy should shows some scenery like this fellow does👍👍
Not a bad idea… in fact… maybe we should put something together @bigd9040… 🧐
I agree with you that it was a surprise, and indeed, a unique experience, to have the ferry return to the dock to pick up one single passenger! I mean, there surely aren't many places that would happen! Fantastic!
I share your appreciation for the honour of having experienced this unique small town before it disappears. Obviously, it's far from economically viable to run a ferry, provide power and communications (phone/wireless/internet), medical services, and provide a school for just 4 students, etc. On the other hand, it is awful to think of forcing senior citizens from their homes and a supportive community of family and friends to move them somewhere they don't know, among people they don't know, for their final days. Having watched interviews with some people moving following the closing of a small town in the past couple of years, one of the hardest things they spoke about was to leave behind a well-kept graveyard of loved family and friends whose graves would never again be visited. Obviously, there's more to a community than its economical viability.
In your video, I felt your respect for the town and its people, past and present. And I felt that you deemed it an honour and a privilege to have had the experience of visiting. I have no doubt in my mind that you are very grateful, indeed, to the workers on that ferry for so kindly and nonchalantly returning to the dock to bring you to Gaultois! Thanks for sharing the experience.
Hey, Mark
You made it to Gaultois. It's so unique. Every square metre of Newfounland is real, and Gaultois is very much that. You can feel past hard work, survival, and the love residents have for this gorgeous town. Viewers! If you haven't been to Gaultois- go! Time is running out. Great video, Mark... and in just a couple of hours. ❤
Thank you. It was an experience I won’t soon forget… but it just planted the seed to make me want to go back and spend more time there
Wow! I just moved to New Brunswick from Ontario. I'll put NL on my To Visit List. Thanks for the great video! 😊
super cool. done that ferry ride many times in the summer. Had many relatives who lived in Gaultois. Great video Thanks for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it. I sure enjoyed making it!!
That's the gold of out port Newfoundland.
Mark we are planning on sailing in this area for summer 2024………..thanks for the teaser of what to expect. Neither of us have been to these places before and I grew up only hours away from it.
Awesome video.Spent a lot of time there as a child.I grew up in Bay d'Espoir an had relatives in Gaultois.You have inspired me to visit this place this summer while coming home for a vacation. I'm glad I stumbled across your video !!!!
And I’m glad you found this! This whole region of Newfoundland was amazing. You’re very lucky to be connected to the area.
I was quite happy to see this video after the ARTE posted a documentary
Yes I saw that too, it was a very well done documentary
I think its very important to keep these rural towns alive because I believe there will be a resurgence of these towns in the near future with more internet access like starlink when thats perfectly flushed out, more work from home jobs etc it will makes these remote towns a viable option again.
I’m excited for that possibility. I know I will be buying a house in Harbour Breton when I get my stuff in order. And I know more than a few other people who have the same kind of plan, and a few more still who have already made their plan a reality.
Awesome video. This is one of the few places I have not visited in Newfoundland. I have it on my bucket list. I hope to get there this summer........Take care, Bluefin.
I gotta go back in the summer too. I can’t imagine what the experience would be like with warmer temps and some blue sky
Nice. Lol, and good to know when I finally go so my son can meet his father's family finally. Before they all leave this world
I love that you nod to passerbys too 😂 I can tell you're Newfoundlander. You fit right in 😂
Ahahaha and now following you because you're clearly a natural born Explorer
😂 no doubt!
Amazing, thank you so much for the follow. I hope I’m able to keep you coming back for more!
Thanks for this video!! I often wondered about this little town. No cars wow that sure is unusual!!!
No cars on the island, no cars on the ferry… it was like stepping back in time ☺️☺️
North Coast we don't have many cars either. My grandfather owned one truck but got ripped off because the guy he traded his boat for didn't have the truck paid off :(
i want to visit gaultois this summer,.for many years my family wondered how the town got its name .my mom a long time ago had contacted the mayor there and he said he had no idea.
I left Gaultois when I was 4 years old, I have returned for visits since but it’s been a while. The family “house” has been removed, my grand parents headstones were upright the last time I was there.
Hi Mark, too bad you didn't have more time you missed the location I lived in Gaultois called The Bottom. I may be biased but I think the best part lol. Great video nonetheless lol.
My time was limited but I’ll be back as soon as I can, and I’m making notes so I don’t miss anything next time. Thanks for the info. What an awesome little place this must have been to live!
All I see is pride. No zombies or trash anywhere.
Just wait until you get to Grey River!
Oh yes!! On my list for sure, can't wait to see Grey River!
I saw a news report about this … it’s so sad .
It is sad overall but it was a very happy experience. I’m so glad I was able to experience this place
