Canyoning and a boat cruise in Gaspé: two adventures from Griffon Aventure

Looking for things to do in Gaspé this summer? If you’d like to get off the beaten path and explore the region in a different way, Griffon Aventure offers two activities that are as different as they are memorable: a boat cruise along Forillon National Park and a canyoning adventure in the heart of spectacular natural surroundings.

‍

Set amid dizzying cliffs, emerald-green pools, marine life, and breathtaking landscapes, these two adventures let you connect with the Gaspé Peninsula and experience unforgettable moments.

‍

A boat cruise in Gaspé to experience Forillon National Park in a whole new way

It only takes a few minutes on the water to see Forillon National Park from a whole new perspective.

‍

Departing from the L'Anse-au-Griffon area, this approximately 2.5-hour cruise follows a spectacular coastline where the cliffs plunge directly into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. From the sea, the landscapes take on a whole new dimension and reveal the raw beauty of the Gaspé Peninsula.

‍

Throughout the cruise, the captain shares the region's geological history and helps you spot the seabirds and marine mammals that inhabit these waters.

‍

Then it's time to cast your line.

‍

All the equipment you need for a mackerel fishing trip is provided—an activity suitable for both beginners and experienced anglers. And if the fishing is good, you can even take your catch home to cook later.

‍

Just about ten minutes from the Auberge Griffon Aventure, this boat tour is perfect for families, groups of friends, or visitors who want to slow down, enjoy the great outdoors, and discover another side of Gaspé.

Canyoning: An Adventure in the Heart of a Spectacular Setting

Want to add a good dose of adrenaline to your trip?

‍

Canyoning is one of the most amazing activities to experience in Gaspé. Though not widely known, this adventure takes you into a landscape shaped by water, where the forest gives way to a spectacular canyon with impressive rock walls.

‍

After a short walk to get there, the adventure begins.

‍

Accompanied by experienced guides, you’ll make your way directly through the canyon, alternating between natural slides, jumps into emerald-green pools, and descents along the river. You can tackle each obstacle at your own pace, in a safe environment where fun and pushing your limits go hand in hand.

‍

As you round the bend, a magnificent waterfall comes into view—the true highlight of this immersion in nature.

‍

Lasting about five hours and located just 45 minutes from Auberge Griffon Aventure, this activity is perfect for anyone who wants to discover a wilder side of the Gaspé Peninsula.

‍

Two ways to experience the Gaspé Peninsula, one shared desire for wonder

A sea cruise and canyoning offer two completely different experiences, but they share a common thread: the spirit of discovery.

‍

One invites you to slow down, take in the scenery, listen to the stories of the region, and enjoy the sea. The other encourages you to step outside your comfort zone, follow the river’s course, and explore an environment that few visitors have the chance to discover.

‍

In both cases, you come away with much more than just beautiful photos. You come away with the feeling that you've truly experienced the Gaspé Peninsula from the inside.

‍

Which activity should I choose?

Do you enjoy taking in the scenery, discovering marine life, and relaxing on the water? If so, a cruise is the perfect choice.

‍

Are you looking for an immersive, active experience full of thrills? Canyoning will introduce you to an unexpected landscape where nature becomes your playground.

‍

What if you didn't have to choose?

‍

These two activities complement each other perfectly and allow you to experience two completely different sides of Gaspé: the vastness of the coastline and the hidden treasures of the hinterland.

‍

If you're looking for things to do in Gaspé during your next visit, Griffon Aventure's canyoning and sea cruise are two experiences that will let you discover the region from a unique perspective. These are two adventures off the beaten path, where nature, the scenery, and the thrills always take center stage.
