Paddling with puffins between the archipelago and the mainland.
Île aux Perroquets is the gateway to the Mingan archipelago. Found offshore from the petit village of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan, it’s a bucket-list destination for seasoned kayakers.
During your day with us, depending on currents and winds, we will explore Île aux Perroquets, Île de la Maison and Île du Wreck — a magical area that time forgot, where the birds are masters. It’s common to see seals, porpoises, minke whales and more. There’s always a surprise in these waters that are teeming with life.
To choose a sea kayak rather than a motorboat to get to the archipelago is to choose to take the time to savour the incredible wilderness of the Cote-Nord. It’s the perfect expedition to connect with a rare and beautiful marine environment. You truly will experience real offshore sea kayaking. You’ll feel the wind, the swell of the waves, the sun and the currents of the region during your 45-minute crossing to the islands. If you call yourself a sea kayaker than this trip is for you.
