Getting to the Magdalen Islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

By ferry to the Islands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can reach the Magdalen Islands by sea or by air. The first method requires some preliminary steps<\/a> because in order to get to Souris, where the ferry departs, you have to go through New Brunswick and of course Prince Edward Island. These provinces have set conditions for entry into their territory during a pandemic, whether you are on foot, by bicycle or by car. It takes about 12 hours by car from Montreal<\/strong> to get to Souris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must book your spot on the ferry<\/strong> to the Magdalen Islands and the sooner the better. It costs between $28.60 and $56.80 per one-way trip during the high season, depending on age. In addition, the cost of the vehicle varies according to its length. A bike will cost $20, a car $105.90. The rates are here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the cruises, at the time of writing, they had not resumed their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Travel<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By plane to the Islands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

I flew with Air Canada<\/a> on a DH-4 (Havilland Dash-8 400). One of the smallest in the company’s fleet. A propeller plane with 78 seats. The flight to the Islands takes about two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought the tickets in December and paid for them with my AIR MILES Dreams at 1,190 miles and $123 tax each. I earned them with my BMO®<\/sup> AIR MILES®<\/sup> World Elite®<\/sup>* Mastercard®<\/sup>*<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also spoke to other members, including Audreyanne, who used her Aeroplan points: 15,000 Aeroplan points and $86 in taxes per person. This is convenient when points were easily earned with one of the Aeroplan credit cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pascan Aviation<\/a> also offers the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both companies charge between $700 and $900 in high season to take you to the Magdalen Islands if you don’t plan ahead. You will have to use the travel points of one of these credit cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
