THE DETAILS

Getting to Fogo Island is an adventure in itself. From St. John’s or Halifax, you fly into the small Newfoundland town of Gander (the setting for the Broadway musical Come From Away) then drive for just over an hour to catch the ferry at Farewell, whose name offers the perfect preface to this remote experience. Rooms at Fogo Island Inn ( fogoislandinn.ca) start from US$1,448 a night, full board.
