Getting there & around
The airport is on the northwest corner of Île du Havre aux Maisons. Air Canada Jazz offers daily flights from Montréal, Québec City and Gaspé; Pascan (888-313-8777; www.pascan.com) flies from the two cities and Bonaventure.
The cheapest and most common arrival method is by ferry from Souris, Prince Edward Island, to Île du Cap aux Meules. CTMA Ferries (418-986-3278, 888-986-3278; www.ctma.ca) makes the five-hour cruise from April through January. From July to September, boats go once or twice a day, at other times, less frequently. In midsummer, reservations are strongly recommended. The fare is $43.50/21.50 per adult/child aged five to 12. Bikes cost $10.50, cars $80.50.
Between June and October, CTMA also operates a two-day cruise from Montréal via Québec City, Tadoussac and Chandler. It’s a great way of seeing the St Lawrence River, and you could always take the car and return by road.
There is no public transportation. Le Pédalier (418-986-2965; 800 Rte 199), in Cap aux Meules, rents bicycles. Hertz and local companies have airport car rental outlets; book as far ahead as possible.
