Packages for Pennsylvania Moose Hunters
With no moose population in Pennsylvania, moose hunters eager to pursue this legendary animal are left without options. In Newfoundland, however, the story is entirely different.
Home to an estimated 120,000 moose, the moose hunting opportunities are endless. With vast Newfoundland wilderness, our skilled guides, and an 85% success rate, Garia Bay Outfitters and the forests of Newfoundland provides everything you need for a successful moose hunt.
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 Pennsylvania Bear Hunters
In Pennsylvania, black bear hunting is subject to strict regulations. Hunters must attach harvest tags immediately afterwards, making sure the carcass remains intact during transport, and report harvests within 24 hours.
These tight rules can make the black bear hunting process feel overly complicated. At Garia Bay Outfitters in Newfoundland, we offer a more straightforward and rewarding experience. With a bigger black bear population and less hurdles, you can focus on the hunt itself without the burden of extensive tagging or reporting requirements.
Includes: License, Food, Accommodations, Local Transportation, and Space for 4 people per hunt.
Packages For Pennsylvania Anglers
In Pennsylvania, Atlantic salmon fishing is limited to stocked environments, like sections of Lake Erie, where fish are raised in hatcheries and released specifically for anglers to catch. These fish don’t naturally reproduce in the state’s waters and are introduced just to provide recreational fishing opportunities.
While these setups can be fun, they don’t capture the authenticity that passionate anglers crave. At Garia Bay Outfitters, you’ll fish in untouched waters, guided by locals who know every bend and current. Leave the artificial behind and experience Atlantic salmon fishing as it’s meant to be.
Includes: License, food guides, local transportation, accommodations (8 guests per week max), Cargo and ATV, Internet Service at camp, Limited Cellular Service at camp

At Garia Bay, we give Pennsylvania hunters the rare opportunity to pursue this incredible animal.
Yes, every hunt at Garia Bay Outfitters is fully guided. Our expert guides know the land like the back of their hand and will lead you to the best hunting spots. They’ll also assist with tracking, field dressing, and ensuring your hunt is both successful and safe.
Newfoundland is very chilly and unpredictable, especially during early spring months. Preparing for a hunting trip in Newfoundland requires packing smart so you’re ready for the elements and the experience. At Garia Bay Outfitters, we provide a detailed packing list to make the process simple. Here’s what you should include:
- Clothing: Bring layered, weather-resistant clothing. Newfoundland’s weather can change rapidly, so dressing in layers is essential. Waterproof and insulated outerwear, gloves, and a hat are must-haves to stay warm and dry during your hunt. Don’t forget lightweight layers for milder conditions.
- Footwear: Durable, waterproof boots with good ankle support are crucial for navigating Newfoundland’s rugged terrain. A second pair of comfortable shoes for relaxing at the lodge is also a good idea.
- Hunting Gear: Pack your firearm (along with any necessary permits and documentation), ammunition, and any additional equipment you prefer, such as binoculars or a rangefinder. Our team will provide support with firearm regulations and can help ensure you have the right gear for a successful hunt.
- Personal Items: Don’t forget toiletries, medications, and any personal essentials you might need during your stay. A compact first-aid kit and sunscreen are also handy for time spent outdoors.
- Daypack: A good daypack will help you carry essentials like water, snacks, extra clothing, and any gear you’ll need while out in the field.
- Other Recommended Items: A camera or smartphone to capture memories, a power bank for charging devices, and a journal for documenting your adventure are nice additions. If you’re coming for Atlantic salmon fishing as well, pack your preferred fishing gear, though much of it can be provided upon request.
At Garia Bay, we pride ourselves on having some of the best success rates in the industry. Moose hunting boasts an 85% success rate, and black bear hunting is equally rewarding with opportunities to take home a trophy-sized bear. Our guides are experts in maximizing your chances.
