What you can expect

Set sail from Berthier-sur-Mer to discover the unique razorbills (also called Alca Torda), and learn about the wildlife, geography and history of the Isle-aux-Grues achipelago on this guided cruise.

You will get to admire hundreds of razorbills, a species of small penguins that travel from the far eastern regions of the St. Lawrence to breed on a specific island in the heart of the river.

Departure point:Depart from the Berthier-sur-Mer Marina, about a 35-minute drive from Québec City.

Duration: The total excursion lasts around 5 hours, depending on tides and sea conditions.

Panoramic views: Feel the breeze as you step outside to the exterior decks for some fresh air and beautiful views, as the captain points out the sights of the surrounding landscape. On the uppermost level, the promenade deck offers a full 360-degree view — the ideal spot to observe the razorbills.

Expert guide:Look for the many small penguins that breed on an island in the heart of the Isle-aux-Grues archipelago while hearing fun facts and in-depth information from our certified naturalist guide.

Onboard amenities:Stop by the bistro for a meal or snack, or choose our lunch box option. Our vessels are also equipped with full washrooms to ensure your comfort throughout the cruise.
