Sea Kayaking in the Magdalen Islands, Quebec
We recently did a fabulous trip to the Magdalen Islands which
are part of Quebec but are right in Gulf of St Lawrence so it made sense to include
them on this web page dealing with sea kayaking in Atlantic Canada. They offer
lots of options for sea kayaking and on our short visit we did a couple of
trips. We can't wait to return to see more of this fascinating area.

Paddling with Vert et Mer- Magdalen Islands, Quebec
We had never been to the Magdalen Islands so didn't know what to expect in
terms of sea kayaking. So we were very pleasantly surprised to find very
interesting kayaking plus great food and scenery. Our first trip was with
Vert et Mer and was a real highlight since we had a nice following wind to
help us along the spectacular coastline. We stopped part way along to have a
delicious crab dinner with all the fixings. The shoreline has countless sea
caves which are carved from the weak rock and we paddled past the largest
sea cave in the Magdalens. The setting sun really lit up the brilliant red
rocks. For more pics see Vert et Mer and for

Paddling with Parc de Gros Cap- Magdalen Islands, Quebec
On our recent trip to the Magdalen Islands we
only scheduled 2 days but managed to see much of the islands and get in 2
kayak trips. Our second trip was with Parc de Gros Cap which has a very nice
setting over looking the ocean but unfortunately our planned trip had to be
readjusted since the winds were gusting to over 50 km/hr!! So we did a down
wind trip which went along the main west side of the main island. We paddled
into the harbour and saw fishing boats up close and personal and they
shoreline alternated between sandy beach and rugged cliffs. I can't wait to
return to paddle around Gros-Cap with its amazing sea caves and sea stacks.
