Discover the exceptional beauty of the Mingan Archipelago on a boat trip departing from Havre-Saint-Pierre.
A scenic cruise — an experience in itself — takes you to Ile Niapiskau. You're accompanied by a Parks Canada heritage presenter, who will lead you back in time to help you understand the amazing geological formations around you. It's a story that is nearly 500 million years old.
Enjoy an easy-to-moderate walk around Ile Niapiskau, where you will see the Dame de Niapisca and the Small Graduating Owl limestone monoliths immortalized by poet Roland Jomphe. There are many in all different shapes and sizes. Each has a name and a story — can you guess them?
After your walk, reboard the boat for the return trip and take time to enjoy the scenery from a different perspective. Keep an eye out for local fauna and flora.
Notes:
Dress warmly in layers with a wind- and waterproof outer layer; bring gloves, a scarf and a warm hat. Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. Duration may vary slightly.
