Percé and Bonaventure Island Boat Ride
Port
Gaspe, Canada
Activity Level
moderate
Duration
5:00 Hours
The drive to Percé will take you along the panoramic coastal road of Gaspé Bay. Upon arrival, you’ll take a lovely boat ride to Bonaventure Island and enjoy some free time in Percé town.
Also referred to as ‘Gannet Island’, Bonaventure has been a migratory bird sanctuary since 1919 and attracts large colonies of Northern Gannets. As you cruise by the island, the sights, sounds and smells will give you an indication of the sheer number of Gannets on the island. Keep an eye out for flocks engaging in bouts of plunge diving for fish. En route you can admire Percé Rock, one of the most photographed and painted landmarks in the area.
Your free time in Percé town can be spent browsing the craft shops and art galleries and perhaps purchase a snack, lunch or refreshment.
Leaving the charm of Percé behind, sit back and enjoy the scenery once more as you take the return drive back to the ship.
