The harder parts are optional: the summit hike in the Chic-Choc Mountains on day 4 (about 4 hours return and 450 to 600 m of climb on rocky trail), the Land's End walk to Cap Gaspé (about 8 km return on a forest track with some hills) and the island trail to the gannet colony on Bonaventure (about 3 km each way, uphill on the way out). Each has a shorter, level choice on the same day.

Quebec City

Quebec City Jean Lesage Airport to Old Quebec, then a walk through the walled city

Fly into Quebec City Jean Lesage Airport (YQB), where your See Sight Tours guide meets the group in arrivals at about 2:30 pm for the 20-minute drive to a hotel in or beside Old Quebec. After check-in we walk the historic district, listed by UNESCO in 1985 as the only walled city north of Mexico: along the Dufferin Terrace under the Château Frontenac, down the Breakneck Stairs to Place Royale and the Petit-Champlain quarter, and back up by the funicular.

Soir

The late afternoon is the quiet hour, after the day visitors thin out and before dinner. Your guide, who speaks French and English, gives a short briefing on the week ahead: the tides, the boats and what to wear in the parks. Then a welcome dinner together in the old town. If your flight lands later, a private transfer brings you in and you join the group at the table. Quebec City gets one night here; if you want more of it, add nights before the trip or join our Quebec City and Charlevoix trip.

Compris

  • Group transfer from Quebec City Jean Lesage Airport (YQB)

Faune et météo : June brings long days, wildflowers and black flies in the parks; gannets are on Bonaventure Island from spring to autumn and their chicks hatch around early summer. July and August are warmest and busiest, especially in Percé. Whales are present from about June, and July to September is the most reliable window for humpbacks and fin whales off Forillon. September is quieter, with cooler nights and the first autumn colour in the Chic-Chocs. Sea fog and wind can cancel a boat on any date, which is why Percé has a spare morning.

Avant de réserver

Ce voyage est-il pour vous?

Ce voyage vous convient si vous recherchez

  • Travellers who have seen Quebec City and Charlevoix and want the coast beyond Tadoussac

Ce voyage ne vous convient pas si vous recherchez

  • Travellers who want to unpack only once or twice: there are six hotels in seven nights
  • Anyone who cannot sit in a van for three to four hours on four of the days
  • Travellers set on a guaranteed whale or caribou sighting: wildlife is likely, never certain

Questions

What does the price include?

Seven nights in central hotels, 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches and 4 dinners, airport transfers at Quebec City and Mont-Joli, a private minivan and driver, your bilingual See Sight Tours guide throughout, the Bonaventure Island boat, a whale cruise off Forillon, entry to Forillon and the Bic, Gaspésie, Bonaventure and Miguasha parks, Reford Gardens and the Acadian museum.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests, never more. That is one minivan that can stop at a seal haul-out or a moose by the road, one table in small coast restaurants and a guide everyone can hear on the trail. Private departures are for your party only.

Who leads the trip, and do I need to speak French?

No French needed. A See Sight Tours guide who speaks French and English travels with the group from Quebec City airport to Mont-Joli airport and translates wherever English is thin. Park naturalists join at Miguasha and in the Gaspésie park. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.

How fit do I need to be?

If you can walk two to three hours a day on gravel paths, you will be fine. The demanding parts are optional: the Chic-Choc summit hike (about 4 hours with a steady climb), the 8 km walk to Cap Gaspé and the uphill island trail to the gannets. Each has an easier choice on the same day.

I am travelling solo. What does a room of my own cost?

A room of your own is from CAD 925 more, shown before you book, with no surprise at checkout. Single rooms in Percé's small inns are few in July and August, so book early. Solo travellers get the same seats, tables and free time as everyone else.

When is the best time to visit the Gaspé Peninsula?

June to September. The Bonaventure Island boats, Reford Gardens and Miguasha open in early or late June. July to September is the most reliable time for whales, July and August are warmest and busiest in Percé, and September is quieter with cool nights and the first autumn colour.

How does booking work?

Choose a date and request to book; nothing is charged. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. Prices are per person sharing, with taxes: the small group starts from CAD 5,425 per person.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. The trip also runs as a private trip for your party only, with your own guide and vehicle, on a date you choose, from CAD 9,765 per person. If you would rather drive the Gaspé independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the hotels, boats and a car.

Do I need a visa to visit Canada?

US citizens need a valid passport and no visa. Most other visa-exempt travellers, including UK, EU and Australian citizens, need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before flying to Canada, applied for online. Some nationalities need a visitor visa; check your passport and we will help.

Can I take the train back from the Gaspé?

Yes, on some days. VIA Rail's Ocean, the overnight Halifax to Montreal train, runs a few evenings a week along the Matapédia valley and the lower St. Lawrence towards Quebec City and Montreal. On request we drop you at the nearest station on its line instead of the airport, confirmed with VIA when you book; the ticket and a sleeper cabin are at your own cost.

Will I see whales, gannets and caribou?

Gannets, almost certainly: tens of thousands nest on Bonaventure Island through the summer. Whales are likely on a summer cruise off Forillon, more so from July. Caribou are rare and endangered, seen only some days above the tree line, so treat them as a bonus. Seals at Le Bic depend on the tide.

Why so many one-night stops?

Because the Gaspé is a loop of about 1,300 km and each base sits by a different park. We keep each drive to about four hours or less, start no earlier than 8 am, give Percé two nights and include lunch every travel day, so the moves feel short.
