Located at the north-eastern tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, just north of the town of Gaspé, Forillon National Park is a remarkable natural area where sea, cliffs and forest meet. Accompanied by a professional guide and local expert, you will paddle around the peninsula in complete safety and discover the natural gems scattered along its coastline.
Designed for participants with some prior sea kayaking experience, this day trip is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the unspoilt nature of Forillon. Following your guide, you will admire Cap Gaspé, the seabirds and the impressive cliffs of the park’s northern coast, as well as the coves and caves along the southern shore. After a lunch break, you will head towards a seal resting area near Cap-aux-Os and, with a bit of luck, you may spot these charming marine mammals in their natural habitat.
Bring clothing suitable for the season, your picnic and a water bottle, and you will be ready for a full day of kayaking adventure in Forillon National Park. Your guide will take care of all the on-site organisation, so all you have to do is enjoy the scenery and the sporting experience in Gaspésie.
