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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtCIgcedxL_JeJ8.html

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 ❤😊

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!!

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!!

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.

Wow! I just moved to New Brunswick from Ontario. I'll put NL on my To Visit List. Thanks for the great video! 😊

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. ❤

super cool. done that ferry ride many times in the summer. Had many relatives who lived in Gaultois. Great video Thanks for the tour.

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 !!!!

That's the gold of out port Newfoundland.

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 was quite happy to see this video after the ARTE posted a documentary

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

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.

Thanks for this video!! I often wondered about this little town. No cars wow that sure is unusual!!!

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 :(

Just wait until you get to Grey River!

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.

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.

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.

All I see is pride. No zombies or trash anywhere.

I saw a news report about this … it’s so sad .
