Battle Harbour is on Battle Island and part of the archipelago accessible by sea on Labrador's southeast coast. The Big Land known as Labrador is part of Canada's newest province, Newfoundland and Labrador, and visitors can travel by road, or more conveniently by air and road, from all parts of Canada.

The town of Mary's Harbour is your gateway to Battle Island and the National Historic District of Canada known as Battle Harbour. An independent firm operates twice daily passenger ferry service between Mary's Harbour and Battle Harbour using the MV Iceberg Hunter . The ferry leaves from Battle Harbour's private wharf at our "Visitor Information Centre & Ferry Terminal", Main Street, Mary's Harbour at 11am and 6pm daily return from Battle Harbour at 4pm and 9am. Depending on the season, travellers can view whales, icebergs, dolphins, seabirds and seals during this one hour, narrated boat ride across the St. Lewis Inlet.

There is a very useful "driving database" posted by the provincial department of transportation that can be used to estimated driving times at posted speedlimits between most communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. Information is available for both "miles per hour" and "kilometers per hour" as well as in miles and kilometers. See http://www.stats.gov.nl.ca/DataTools/RoadDB/Distance/
