Throughout the trip, your guide’s commentary will enhance the experience, sharing fascinating insights about the region, its wildlife and the Banc des Américains marine protected area. After a break on a beach accessible only by kayak, you will return to the starting point with wonderful memories and new knowledge about the Gaspé Peninsula.
