Activity description

Discover Quebec's Saguenay Fjord on an incredible sea kayaking excursion with a local guide!

Departing from L'Anse-Saint-Jean, a charming village located in the middle of two large nature reserves (the Saguenay Fjord National Park and the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park), you will have the privilege of sailing in a sea kayak on the waters of the magnificent Saguenay Fjord in the province of Quebec, Canada.

Sea kayaking is a nautical activity open to all, easy and pleasant. The Fjord Kayak centre offers excursions on the Saguenay Fjord that are accessible to young and old alike, with quality equipment and guides certified by the FQCK (Fédération Québécoise de Canot Kayak). They will accompany you on your excursions to ensure your safety and teach you how to properly manoeuvre your sea kayak, while telling you stories and legends of the Saguenay Fjord.

The Saguenay Fjord is an extraordinary place with breathtaking scenery, towering cliffs and two ecosystems rich in biodiversity. If you are lucky, expect to meet seals, curious inhabitants of the fjord, or even cetaceans such as belugas or rorquals!

What's more, you're spoilt for choice: from a short two-hour excursion to a full-day trip, with an evening departure to enjoy a superb sunset over the waters of the Saguenay Fjord, your sea kayak is just waiting for you to set sail! So, if you are visiting Quebec, or even more simply Canada, don't hesitate!

Book this sea kayaking excursion on the Saguenay Fjord and leave with wonderful memories!

When you arrive on the beach at the L'Anse-Saint-Jean marina, you will first receive basic kayak training and safety instructions.

Then, you will head to the islet Saint-Jean which protects the reproduction of a funny bird: the Spotted sandpiper. This is where the fjord unfolds its splendour with Île Saint-Louis in the background, an enchanting moment to start the excursion.

Several legends will be told to the children and will amuse young and old alike.

Perhaps you will even see our friend the harbour seal? Experiencing the fjord from the water is definitely the best way to discover the wild beauty of the Marine Park.
