Discover the exceptional beauty of the Mingan Archipelago on boat ride departing from Havre-Saint-Pierre.
The scenic cruise -- an experience in itself -- takes you to Ile Quarry. Then, a Parks Canada heritage presenter will accompany you on a walk along the loop trail. Discover a natural botanic garden as you walk past a wide variety of habitats -- shoreline, boreal forest, peat bogs, barrens and cliffs. Keep an eye out for local fauna and flora, which your guide will explain.
This island is also home to a former sea cliff, now concealed within the boreal forest. A fantastic journey awaits you as you walk to Anse des Erosions. Here monoliths, referred to as 'flowerpots,' resist the ravages of time and erosion.
After your walk, reboard the boat for the return trip and take time to enjoy the scenery from a brand-new perspective.
Notes:
It is essential that you wear warm, layered clothing to fully enjoy and participate in this excursion; outer layer should be waterproof and windproof. Bring gloves, a warm hat and a scarf. Duration may vary slightly. The type of vessel used may vary depending on weather conditions.
