Looking at Newfoundland for 2019
We are looking into NF for next summer and wondering what a handicapped person will be able to see. I use a small electric TravelScoot scooter to get arun and nothing is ever mentioned on description...

Newfoundland is a BIG place. Friendly, beautiful, a bit pricey - gas is on the far side of $4.00 US per gallon.
Port aux Basques to St. Johns is pushing 600 miles, with no side ventures. Wander around a bit, and you're well over 1,000 miles on the island.
We like to take the ferry to Argentia, spend the time we like on the island, the leave from Port aux Basques.
My wife especially likes sitting on the forecastle of the North Sydney to Argentia overnight ferry and watching the stars. It's soooooooo dark, and we always try to book passage for that leg when it's a new moon.
One of my favorite parts of the island is the northern peninsula. 'Tis peaceful, delightful, gorgeous.
Our plans include going back next year. This time we'll go over to Labrador as well.
Less than three weeks on "the rock" is just not enough time to wander around to all the corners.
Enjoy.
