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!

My husband and I took this jeep tour as part of a vacation spent on the Gaspe Peninsula, and I must say that it was the best part! Our guide Philippe was wonderful, a joy to spend four hours with. It was a bonus for us that he spoke perfect English... The roads, mountains, and lakes were all lovely, well worth a few bumps along the way. Philippe was gracious enough to stop any time we wanted to take a picture, and explained everything that we were seeing along the way. I would recommend this excursion to anyone who loves the outdoors!

After leaving the town of Rimouski towards Gaspé, we saw on the road the sign of the Vieux Moulin, which is a cozy chalet with products made with honey, where you will find from award winning wines to soaps. We really liked to have stopped and known the place, being a great option to buy local and natural products and is a very warm and cozy place where you can taste the wines in a very friendly environment. They also speak English and they accept credit and debit cards.

Recognized first and foremost for its exceptionally rich wildlife, the Matane Wildlife Reserve offers nearly 1300 km2 (500 sq. mi.) of breathtaking panoramas combining mountains and deep valleys crisscrossed by numerous waterways. The reserve offers over 100 km (60 mi.) of hiking trails. Look for changes in the vegetation as you hike along the Mont Blanc trail, and feast your eyes on the spectacular mountain scenery along the International Appalachian Trail. If you like wild berries, you can pick juicy raspberries in season during your stay on the wildlife reserve. The 2-km long (1.2-mi.) Étang à la Truite pond awaits you for a lovely kayaking excursion. Who knows-you might spot moose in their natural habitat as you paddle. Wildlife observation is the featured activity in the Matane Wildlife Reserve. Mud flats allow enthusiasts to observe moose. The Étang-à-la-Truite Interpretation Centre is a must for those wishing to learn more about this impressive animal. Over 150 species of birds can also be observed in the reserve. Enjoy a stay at the Matane Wildlife Reserve in a campground or cabin. Spend a day or longer on the reserve and get the most out of your experience by exploring this exceptional wildlife territory, where moose roam freely.

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.
