The coastal ferry service operates each summer from roughly June to November (the ice-free season). The Kamutik W departs Happy Valley-Goose Bay and visits each community on its voyage north. At Nain (most northerly community), it turns around and revisits each community on the return trip to Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
The Kamutik W is a very popular transportation option for local residents of Nunatsiavut – whether it be returning home from school, taking a trip to Happy Valley-Goose Bay to meet with friends, or to ship cargo back home to stock up for the coming winter – everyone uses the Kamutik W.
Several types of accommodations are available on the ferry, from a basic berth to a deluxe cabin. Book a room and enjoy the scenery as you travel up the coast – wild lands and mountains await. Make sure to keep an eye to the sky in the evening for an amazing view of the stars above. Keep your ears open – there are many stories to be heard while you sail northwards…
