Cap Aventure: The unmissable outdoor experience this summer
Imagine... a paddle gently cutting through the water, the blow of a whale breaking the silence, a campfire against a backdrop of waves, the stars as your ceiling. Welcome to Cap Aventure, where the Gaspé wilderness is experienced to the fullest, from sunrise to sunset.
Unforgettable Sea Excursions
Cap Aventure truly shines on the sea. From the Gaspé Marina, embark on a zodiac cruise to encounter whales, these giants of the sea that inhabit the Gulf. If you prefer a more intimate approach, paddle alongside curious seals in a sea kayak, departing from Cap-aux-Os or Grande-Grave, within Forillon National Park.
The more adventurous can sign up for a multi-day kayaking expedition, or experience magical moments on a sunrise, moonlight, or stargazing excursion. Each outing is guided by passionate experts of the sea and the region, ready to share their love for the area.
“Our kayak guide was very knowledgeable and put us at ease, and he shared a lot of information about the seals and the region. As for the zodiac captain, he was absolutely great. He took his time and also had a lot of knowledge about the whales and the region, and it's clear he loves what he does. Awesome!” – Lea Meier
