Three days along Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula link Percé Rock, Bonaventure Island and Forillon National Park. Expect coastal cruises, vast gannet colonies, short island hikes, and guided regional history.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Atlantic pushes against the cliff as the bus eases into Gaspé Peninsula country — salt on the wind, gulls marking the horizon, and Percé Rock rising like a weathered gate from the sea. Over three days you'll ride coastal roads, take a short cruise to Bonaventure Island and walk where the gannets thunder; each day alternates clear coastal exposure with quiet forest and marsh in Forillon National Park.

Bring waterproof layers
Sea spray and coastal winds can be cold year-round; a light waterproof shell and windproof midlayer make boat decks and clifftop viewpoints comfortable.
Sturdy footwear for mixed terrain
Trails on Bonaventure and Forillon include boardwalks, rocky beaches and uneven dirt — trail shoes or light hiking boots are best.
Carry ID and vaccine proof
Tours note that travelers 12+ may be required to show COVID-19 vaccination proof and photo ID—keep documents accessible.
Plan for limited cell service
Mobile coverage is spotty in Forillon and on island landings; download maps and bring printed reservations just in case.
Waterproof shell
Protects against Atlantic spray and sudden coastal winds during cruises and cliff viewpoints.
Trail shoes or light hiking boots
Grippy soles and ankle support help on rocky shorelines and boardwalks.
Daypack with rain cover
Carries layers, water, binoculars, and sunscreen for boat decks and island walks.
Binoculars or zoom lens
Helps pick out gannets, other seabirds, seals and distant whales from the cruise or island cliffs.
