Garia Bay: Best Moose & Bear Hunting Destination in North America
Nestled in a stunning wilderness, Garia Bay Outfitters offers access to some of North America’s best hunting and fishing areas. Our location features thick forests, peaceful lakes, and a variety of Canadian wildlife, giving you a truly immersive experience. The beauty of the surroundings makes every part of your hunting adventure special, turning it into more than just a hunt.
As you explore the dense woods and calm waters, you’ll find that the journey is just as rewarding as the hunt itself. The scenery adds to the excitement, making your time with Garia Bay Outfitters unforgettable.
Packages for Colorado Moose Hunters
Colorado’s moose are draw-only, and the odds are brutal. The state’s small introduced herd is managed through a once-in-a-lifetime lottery, and many resident hunters apply for years or decades without ever pulling a tag. At Garia Bay there is no lottery. Newfoundland is home to roughly 120,000 moose, the most concentrated population in North America, and every hunter gets a guided hunt with an 85% success rate.
Whether you’re after your first bull or a true trophy, our packages are built for Colorado hunters who don’t want to wait a lifetime to hunt moose.
Includes: License, food guides, local transportation, accommodations (8 guests per week max), Argo & ATV transportation, Internet Service at camp, Limited Cellular Service at camp
Packages for Colorado Bear Hunters
Colorado banned spring bear hunting, baiting, and hounds back in 1992, which makes a classic baited spring hunt something Colorado hunters simply can’t do at home. On our exclusive grounds you can experience it the way it’s meant to be done, with limited tags available each season.
Newfoundland black bears grow large and dark, and our spring hunt gives Colorado hunters a rare and unforgettable opportunity. Check out our bear packages!
Includes: License, Food, Accommodations, Local Transportation, and Space for 4 people per hunt.
Packages For Colorado Atlantic Salmon Anglers
Since there are no Atlantic salmon in Colorado, our anglers travel to Newfoundland to fish for wild Atlantic salmon, Brook trout, and Sea Run trout in cold, clear rivers. It’s a completely different experience from Colorado’s trout streams.
Our exclusive fishing packages pair the hunt of a lifetime with world-class angling, surrounded by untouched wilderness.
Includes: License, food guides, local transportation, accommodations (8 guests per week max), Cargo and ATV, Internet Service at camp, Limited Cellular Service at camp

FAQs From Our Colorado Hunters
Garia Bay Outfitters offers a unique combination of pristine wilderness, a high concentration of wildlife, and personalized service. With access to some of the most scenic and wildlife-rich areas in Newfoundland, we provide hunters with a true adventure in an untouched natural environment. Our success rates for moose and bear hunts are among the highest in North America, thanks to the concentration of animals and our experienced guides.
Moose in Newfoundland tend to be sizable, with many reaching over 1,000 pounds. Black bears in the region can also grow large, with some exceeding 400 pounds. The combination of dense forests and abundant food sources creates optimal conditions for these animals to grow to impressive sizes, making for great trophy opportunities.
At Garia Bay Outfitters, all hunts are fully guided by experienced local guides who are knowledgeable about the area, the wildlife, and the best hunting techniques. Our guides ensure that you have the highest chance of success while keeping safety as a top priority. Whether you’re an experienced hunter from Colorado or new to the sport, our guides will assist you every step of the way.
Newfoundland’s terrain around Garia Bay is rugged, remote, and breathtakingly diverse, offering a true wilderness experience for hunters. The landscape is characterized by dense boreal forests, moss-covered ground, rolling hills, and expansive wetlands. Towering cliffs and serene, crystal-clear lakes are scattered throughout, providing stunning backdrops as you hunt. This varied terrain presents some physical challenges, especially when navigating thick underbrush, uneven rocky ground, and marshy areas.
The weather in Newfoundland can also add to the challenge, as it can shift quickly from bright and clear to foggy or rainy. High winds, cooler temperatures, and unpredictable precipitation mean it’s essential to come well-prepared with layered clothing and durable, waterproof gear. Our experienced guides will be with you every step of the way, helping you safely navigate the terrain for a successful and memorable experience.
While we cannot guarantee specific trophy sizes due to the nature of wild hunting, Garia Bay has a strong track record of producing large moose and black bears. Our area is known for having a healthy, thriving population of both species, and many hunters leave with impressive trophies. Our guides are highly experienced in identifying and targeting the best game to increase your chances of landing a trophy-worthy animal.
To legally transport your firearm from the US to Canada for hunting, you’ll need to follow specific regulations, such as completing a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration and ensuring your firearm complies with Canadian law. We strongly recommend researching the most up-to-date requirements or contacting us for guidance.
