Gaspé Travel Forum

I would like to know the best way to get to Gaspe from Boston taking the least amount of time.

If you are driving you can make it from Boston in about 15 hours. The only faster way would be to fly but that would be over $1000 pp ($1300-1400 US) involve three flights, and it would still take at least 6-7 hours. You could fly to China for less ( Toronto - Beijing $937 CAD)

Train and buses would take longer as there is no direct route and you would not have your own car in Gaspesie to sightsee. The fastest cost effective way to get from Boston to Gaspe would be to drive your own car. If you don't drive there are bus and train options that might take longer but be cheaper than flying.

If you are interested in the train there is an overnight 18 hour train between Montreal - Gaspe. With sleeper cars this can cost $800-900 CAD not including the transport from Boston - Montreal. As there is no direct train service between Boston - Montreal a Greyhound bus would be faster and cheaper.

The bus for both legs would be cheaper as there are Quebec bus companies that do the Montreal to Gaspe route for about $125 CAD one way. Boston - Montreal should be under $100.

If you have a car and at least one companion to share costs then about two days or driving and gas, and a night on the road would be the fastest cost effective transportation.

I checked again and if you book flights a month in advance or so you can get from Boston to Gaspe for about $500-600 with about two or three flights each way. However last minute you do get fares such as I stated above. Bad search previously.
