Itinerary/Overview

DAY 1: ARRIVAL

Departure from L’Anse-Saint-Jean. The fjord unfolds all its splendor with Île Saint-Louis in the background. We have three days to get acquainted with otters, harbour seals and, if we are lucky, beluga whales (distance of 400 metres to be respected). Stop at the wonderful site of L’Anse au Cheval.

DAY 2: KAYAKING

We cross the fjord at L’Anse de Brise-Culotte to have dinner on the warm sand of Baie Sainte-Marguerite. A place of meditation that will make many dream with its beaches and its delta that offers a magnificent view of the fjord. In the evening, we rest at L’Anse des Ilets Rouges.

DAY 3: KAYAKING & DEPARTURE

Have lunch at La Petite-île and L’Anse Gagnon, another area well loved by Saguenay enthusiasts. After three days on the water, filled with air and salt wind, we peacefully return to L’Anse-Saint-Jean where the Fjord en Kayak team welcomes us.
