Become a sailor for a few hours during a tour aboard the Macareux, a 30-foot sailboat that will bring beginners and experienced boaters close to Grand Colombier and other small islands near Saint-Pierre: those who haven't sailed will be jealous!
Accompanied by your guide, you’ll sail off to enjoy breathtaking views: puffins nesting along the mossy coastline, the cliffs that witnessed the island’s history, and seals basking in the sun in a small hidden cove. Plan on taking this must-do tour during your visit so that you can enjoy the rich natural heritage and charm of the islands from the ocean.
Bring a pair of binoculars and observe the natural migratory bird reserve on the island of Grand Colombier aboard the vessel Jeune France.
On this boat trip, there's no predetermined route. We leave you in the hands of the "Jeune France"'s captain, whose keen eye will guide the ship to a spot where you can view marine mammals in their natural habitat.
Board the Jeune France and sail to Cap Percé on Langlade. From the boat, you can admire the beautiful scenery of the island of Miquelon and get a glimpse of deer along the coastline.
Tour around the wild coastline of Langlade to observe seals basking in the sun. The incomparable view of the Pointe Plate lighthouse could suffice to complete this tour, but marine mammals might surface, so keep your eyes open!
Depart from Miquelon for this original tour: after a very short bus ride, board a Zodiac with a guide to discover the lagoon and admire the Grand Barachois, with its colony of seals and its birds. Unforgettable!
