Share the passion of the great explorers and discover our region’s
wealth from the seas. For all those budding Jacques Cartiers, a
new world of exciting discoveries awaits. Craft of all kinds piloted
by experienced, fascinating, and sometimes crusty captains guide
visitors on a quest for the everpopular inhabitants of the region’s
seas. In the waters of Duplessis you’ll see humpback whales,
mink whales, fin whales, mighty blue whales, killer whales, sperm
whales, dolphins,and porpoises.
And once you’re finished scrutinizing the water’s surface
for all signs of life, look up to the sky to see terns, eiders,
petrels, puffins, and black-legged kittiwakes gliding in the wind.
Drink in the charm of the many islands and islets that so proudly
evoke the history of the land. The jewel of the region is the Mingan
Archipelago. Over thousands of years, nature carved out impressive
natural sculptures here, called monoliths. Your imagination can’t
help but see animals, objects, and figures in these strange and
indescribable forms—true natural masterworks that leave no
one indifferent. You’ll see natural phenomena like the Mingan
Archipelago’s towering monoliths and Île d’Anticosti’s
reefs, and you’ll spy shipwrecks and lighthouses that are
the last vestiges of a prolific era of maritime trade. Your cruise
will be an experience to remember! Let the waves be your guide as
you set out to discover the magic of the islands. And don’t
forget to wave to the puffins, penguins, and seals you see along
the way!
