ITINERARY

Consult the Saguenay map.

Day 1: Departure at 1:00 pm from l’Anse-Saint-Jean. We paddle around l’îlet Saint-Jean, nesting grounds of the spotted sandpiper and we continue on through the fjord and its many coves. The splendor of the fjord then starts to operate with the view of the impressive capes Liberté, Égalité and Fraternité. This vision of the magnificent coastline will leave a lasting impression on you. We spend the night on the banks of the fjord at l’Anse de Tabatière. On hot summer days, we can take a swim at l’Anse. We suggest you bring your bathing suit.

Day 2 : After a hearty breakfast, we are back on the water. During your outing, you may encounter some seals since they love to swim alongside the kayaks. Floating at water level is the best way to discover the savage beauty of the Saguenay-St.Lawrence Marine Park. We stop for a while to have dinner and we continue our leisurely return to l’Anse-Saint-Jean for arriving around 3 :00 P.M.
