Discover the exceptional beauty of the Mingan Archipelago. This scenic boat trip departing from Havre-Saint-Pierre brings you to Ile Niapiskau. As you navigate the pristine waters, a mesmerizing landscape of limestone monoliths, rugged coastal cliffs, and abundant wildlife will present themselves, offering a visually thrilling adventure.
You're accompanied by a Parks Canada heritage presenter, who will lead you back in time to help you understand the marvelous geological formations around you. It's a story that is nearly 500 million years old.
