Sable Island opened to visitors starting in July 2020, but in order to keep everyone safe, interaction between Parks staff and visitors is minimized. Visitors will now begin their Sable adventure directly from the aircraft - a rudimentary privy toilet and potable water will be available in that vicinity. There will be no ground transportation, so visitors must be prepared for a long day of walking outside. The only shade available will be under the wings of the aircraft, so sun protection is a must!

Transport Canada has released an Interim Order which places certain flight restrictions and requirements on both Sable Aviation and its passengers. This document has the force of law, and violation of these requirements or falsifying information may result in a fine of up to $5,000 for individuals, and up to $25,000 for corporations.
