Canyoning and sea cruises in Gaspé: two adventures by Griffon Aventure

Looking for things to do in Gaspé this summer? If you want to get off the beaten path and discover the region from a new perspective, Griffon Aventure offers two activities that are as distinct as they are memorable: a sea cruise along Forillon National Park and a canyoning experience in the heart of spectacular nature.

‍

Between dizzying cliffs, emerald pools, marine wildlife, and grand landscapes, these two adventures allow you to connect with the Gaspé region and create unforgettable memories.

‍

A sea cruise in Gaspé to discover Forillon National Park from a new perspective

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

‍

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

‍

As you sail, the captain shares the region's geological history and helps you spot the seabirds and marine mammals that frequent these waters.

‍

Then, it's time to cast your line.

‍

All equipment is provided for a mackerel fishing session, an activity accessible to beginners and enthusiasts alike. And if the fishing is good, you can even take your catch home to cook later.

‍

Located just ten minutes from Auberge Griffon Aventure, this sea excursion is perfect for families, groups of friends, or visitors looking to slow down, enjoy the fresh air, and discover another side of Gaspé.

‍

Canyoning: an adventure in the heart of a spectacular setting

Looking to add a healthy dose of adrenaline to your trip?

‍

Canyoning is one of the most amazing activities to experience in Gaspé. A hidden gem, this adventure takes you into a landscape carved by water, where the forest gives way to a spectacular canyon with impressive rock walls.

‍

After a short approach hike, the adventure begins.

‍

Accompanied by experienced guides, you will make your way directly through the canyon, alternating between natural slides, jumps into emerald-green pools, and rappelling down waterfalls. Every obstacle can be tackled at your own pace in a safe environment where fun and personal challenge go hand in hand.

‍

Around the bend of the canyon walls, a magnificent waterfall appears—the true highlight of this immersive nature experience.

‍

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

‍

Two ways to experience the Gaspé, one shared sense of wonder

Sea cruises and canyoning offer two completely different experiences, yet 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 land, and enjoy the sea. The other pushes you to step out of your comfort zone, follow the river's path, and explore an environment few visitors ever get to see.

‍

In both cases, you leave with much more than just beautiful photos. You leave with the feeling of having experienced the Gaspé from the inside out.

‍

Which activity should you choose?

Do you love taking in the scenery, discovering marine life, and enjoying a relaxing time on the water? If so, a sea cruise is the ideal choice.

‍

Looking for an immersive, active experience packed with thrills? Canyoning lets you discover an unexpected landscape where nature becomes your playground.

‍

What if you didn't have to choose?

‍

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

‍

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