Follow our experienced guides along the pristine coastline between the fabulous beach of Tadoussac and Anse-à-la-Cave. A 15 nautical mile (27 km) itinerary awaits you as you sail through the unique scenery along the Laurentian Channel, a prime whale watching area.
Your experience will begin with a night at Mer et monde ecotours campground where you will meet the professional guides and other participants. A meeting will be held there to answer any last questions and to ensure the good planning of the departure. The next morning, the day of the big departure, we will head for the Pointe Sauvage area, a place of great importance and occupation by the native peoples and the Basques. A dinner with a local flavor and a most enchanting landscape await you for a comfortable night to the sound of nature and the sea. The last day begins with a hearty breakfast before heading back to your final destination.
This expedition is ideal for active people, thirsty for discovery and wonder. It offers the chance to see unique landscapes, to live the experience of wilderness camping in full autonomy, and is, of course, conducive to wildlife observation.
