St. Anthony - L'Anse aux Meadows: A Viking Experience

[knittinggirl]

Any information would be great? 

 

How much walking?  HAL said 2 1/2 hours. 

 

Is there time to stop and take photos, or is it fast walking and not much else.

 

Do they have a gift shop, and do we have time for shopping?

when are you going?

I would  do some research on the area

August 2019 on Voyage of the Vikings.

 

HAL reviews mentioned at least two guides had a time management problem.

So you are docking or tendering at St Anthony and not Cornerbrook  or St John? It's about a 40 mile drive each way if I remember correctly (we were on vacation, not cruise) and the Meadows are not a place you can really rush through and appreciate.  I definitely would do a ship tour here but with time back and forth unless it's a really long port call you would not have much time there.  There's a gift shop

there was  a floating dock near  the site  some ships  used in the past &  a short walk to the site  not sure if they still stop there

so it will depend on if you need to come from St Anthony

There is  also shops  at Norstead  near by
