From mid May to mid October
The excursion around Percé Rock and Bonaventure Island is THE MUST-DO ACTIVITY when passing through the beautiful picturesque village of Percé. With several departures per day, this commented cruise will fill all your senses.
From the brand new Percé wharf, our boats take you around the legendary Percé Rock, Quebec’s tourist emblem. This 5 million tonne juggernaut, sits near the coast, witness to millennia, it tells us the story through its layers of limestone filled with fossils. !!! It is extremely dangerous to walk to Percé Rock. The cliffs of the Rock are crumbling under the onslaught of the elements and losing about 1 ton of rock per day! Our cruise is the way to discover the Rocher Percé in complete safety. !!!
Then, we will show you the colorful cliffs of Bonaventure Island. Located near the coast of Percé, this mysterious island will amaze you with its fauna, flora and history. Over 250,000 seabirds come to nest there during the summer season, including the largest northern gannet colony in North America and the most accessible in the world. Nowhere else can you see these majestic birds so closely.
Around this unique island, paddles a colony of gray seals. With their curious eyes and long nose, they seduce all our passengers.
In addition to birds and seals, this cruise has surprises in store for you. Whales, moon fish, leatherback turtles and basking sharks may come your way. With nature, captains can testify that each cruise is unique.
All our boats stop for a few moments at the Bonaventure Island National Park wharf. It will then be possible, for those who wish to take the adventure further, to stop over on the island to go for a walk on the trails. Several returns during the day will take you back to Percé once your visit is over.
