Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 851 reviews
Parc national de l'Ile-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Perce stands out with its rich natural, historic, and geological heritage. Sculpted by time and the sea, at the Gaspe Peninsula's tip, it has the fortress of Bonaventure Island and the magnificent stone vessel of Perce Rock-Quebec's tourism emblem. Its outstanding flora and fauna, including its famous colony of Northern Gannets make it a must-see for visitors, as do the island's old homes-the last witnesses to the way the islanders lived a century ago.

The national park does a wonderful job of protecting the enormous gannet colony on Bonaventure Island, while providing excellent viewing for bird-watching. Access to the island is by boat, and the ride can be rough. The bird colony is located across the island from the boat dock/visitor's center, about a 45 minute hike over the summit, or a 90 minute hike (easier terrain) at the perimeter. Bathrooms are plentiful. Bring your rain jacket, water, and a camera!

It's a behemoth that you won't believe until you see it! It leaves you questioning nature and wondering how this happened. We saw it from the land nearby, the mountain, on a boat, and even from a helicopter! Spectacular!

In Chandler, for reasons unknown, stars are falling from the sky, filling the beaches with light as they wash ashore. Let the stars be your guide and embark on this mythical voyage between Earth and sky. Your mission is to carry the light of a fallen star along the way and return it to the night sky. Follow the path to where the stars are waiting for you.

This was my wife and my second visit, but the first time for our 8-year old. We had a beautiful, sunny day, and we're fortunate enough to have arrived at low tide, when all the total pools and statues were fully exposed. We spent the afternoon exploring the pools, posing with the statues, and wandering around on the beach. Supper was terrific. Fresh seafood for us, ham for the kid from a very nice kid's menu. Breakfast the next day, which is included in the price, was also very nice. The room was on the small side, but we'll appointed - not unexpected for a B&B/art gallery type of establishment. Cozy and comfortable! There is plenty of artwork to appreciate here - from the creative statues outside, on rafts, and coming out of the ocean, to beautiful paintings inside the hotel and restaurant. There is also an area dedicated to displaying the owners' work. I would like to thank the owners and staff at the hotel. We travel with a service dog, a fairly large German Shepard, and they were nothing but accommodating. Thank you! ????

Reford Gardens. One of Canada’s Premier Garden DestinationsThe Reford Gardens/Jardins de Métis are recognized as one of Canada’s outstanding gardens. A national historic site, they were created by a passionate gardener and plant lover, Elsie Reford, between 1926 and 1958. Visitors to this verdant domain of more 200 acres can admire the splendours of some 3,000 species and varieties of native and exotic plants displayed in fifteen gardens. A dozen sculptures by contemporary artists are discovered as you walk the pathways and traverse the gardens.

What an amazing place. The staff were were exceptional in helping me with my lack of French. They handed me an English booklet explaining about everything. Could have spent hours there. What a tribute to times gone by. A sentimental journey for all. Thank you. Such a satisfying experience. Would highly recommend for all ages.

Although on the whole, the hiking trails don’t match up with those of the Gaspésie National Park, the view atop the Mont-Saint-Alban trail might be the best of all Gaspésie trails. Cap-Bon-Ami also provides an epic viewpoint that provides access (via several levels of stairs) to the beach. This is also a perfect spot to appreciate the local population of Double-Crested Cormorant.

A hiking hotspot, Parc national de la Gaspésie gives visitors access to an extraordinary mountain environment. The Chic-Chocs and McGerrigle Mountains cross the park. Among them, Mont Jacques Cartier is the second highest peak in Québec. The altitude of these mountains deeply influences the climate that moulds the landscape and creates a diversity of species unique to Québec, and even the world. Arctic-alpine plants and tundra landscapes form a habitat for a herd of woodland caribou, the last representatives of this species south of the St. Lawrence.

À 5 km hike in a well maintained trail. This is an intermediary level hike with 150 m going up. The views are magnificent and it is an ideal trail to begin discovery of the Chic-Chocs mountains in Gaspésie.

I highly recommend visiting this place. It’s all about the experience, information and insights shared by your guide. Ours was really interesting, taking time to explain many historical misconceptions and providing insight into cultural traditions and lifestyle. The museum portion is quite small, but well put together. The gift shop has quite a number of interesting local items - including bannock and other food products, and handcrafted items. Our guide’s name was Tim and he was excellent. The highlight were the two songs he sang for us. Amazing!
