Havre-Saint-Pierre, Quebec
We leave by zodiac boat in the morning to reach the island. After setting in camp and a short kayak training, we take our first paddle strokes. For the following days, we will explore the islands, depending on wind and tides, coming back to the basecamp at the end of the day.
Day 1:
We will meet the morning of departure at the Havre-Saint-Pierre wharf, to board the zodiac which will cross us towards Grande Île. Once all our equipment is loaded on the boat, it will take us approximately 30 minutes to reach the island. We will then go for a first kayak tour in the afternoon.
Day 2:
After a tasty breakfast, we meet to establish the day’s proposals. Every morning, depending on the weather and currents, the guide suggests a kayak route. We could leave for a few hours, have dinner on another island, and return at the end of the afternoon.
Day 3:
At any time, at base camp, you can take the pace you prefer. You can go along on the kayak excursion, or decide to stay at camp, relax or walk on the shores of the island.
Day 4:
We will have the opportunity to enjoy one last day discovering the islands of the Mingan archipelago. The zodiac takes us back to Havre-Saint-Pierre at the end of the afternoon. We will then leave the archipelago behind us, our heads already full of memories.
