Île aux Perroquets is the gateway to the Mingan archipelago. Found offshore from the village of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan, it’s a bucket-list destination for seasoned kayakers.
During your day with us, depending on currents and winds, we will explore Île aux Perroquets, Île de la Maison and Île du Wreck — a magical area that time forgot, where the birds are masters. We might have the chance to see seals, porpoises, minke whales and more marine wildlife along the way. There’s always a surprise in these waters that are teeming with life.
To choose a sea-kayak rather than a motorboat to get to the archipelago, is to choose to take the time to truly savour Côte-Nord’s incredible wilderness. It’s the perfect expedition to connect with a rare and beautiful marine environment.To reach the islands, we will feel the wind, the swell of the waves, the sun and the currents during a 45-minute open-water crossing. This is a real offshore sea-kayaking experience. If you wish to call yourself a sea-kayaker, then this trip is for you.
