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!

Historic site of North America’s first maritime radio station (installed by Marconi in 1904). Location offers a lookout with scenic vistas as well as the possibility to visit exhibits covering Marconi, light house keepers and the history of radio communication at Pointe-à-la-Renommée.

Gaspesie is rich with historical lighthouses, but this one was definitely our favorite to visit. You can also find short hiking/walking trails are on site.

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 place of history and ethnology recounting the fascinating life of the Acadians of Quebec, the Museum has become a veritable public place where many cultural and educational activities promote the discovery and sharing of this rich Acadian heritage. Exhibitions, activities, special events and boutiques make up the unforgettable experience you will have at the Musée acadien du Québec.

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.
