Description

Join us as we take you a day-long kayaking trip to see two iconic landmarks of Canada, Percé Rock and Bonaventure Island!

Percé Rock (Pierced Rock) is a massive rock formation which lies in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence,  at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula. This huge limestone block is over 433 m long and 90 m wide. It has a 15m high arch on its seaward southern end**,** making it one of the world’s largest natural arches in water.

Located 3.5 KM from the Gaspé Peninsula, Bonaventure Island was converted into a migratory bird sanctuary in 1919. Since then it serves as one of the largest bird sanctuaries in the world. There are over 200 species of birds which either live here or migrate during specific seasons.

The trip offers a chance to paddle to both of these emblematic places near Quebec City. We will begin from the Gaspé Peninsula and after a short talk about the safety measures and the use of equipment, you will be fit to paddle!

Get ready to see amazing vistas of Percé Rock and numerous sea birds on this tour. We’ll take a small break after reaching the island and rejuvenate ourselves on its calm and pristine beaches. Look out for the northern gannet, the common murre and the blackpoll warblers, few of the many birds which are found here.

After spending an enjoyable day, we’ll head back to the Gaspé Peninsula, marking the end to an incredible trip.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
