Paddle the black waters of the fjord, ride along the upper estuary islands and observe the breath of the great whales in the Estuary as you travel through three magnificent and captivating ecosystems. Dug during the last ice age, the Saguenay Fjord is lined with cliffs reaching 300 meters. The St. Lawrence estuary offers a challenge to kayakers that will discover a landscape dotted with islands inhabited by impressive wildlife.

In summer, the area is an exceptional hunting ground for all critters. The whales, seals, and birds you will see during your sea outing, for the most part, travelled thousands of kilometres to come to feed here. These wild animals spend a large amount of their time feeding and resting.

Kayaking is a fantastic way to experience the coast of Les Escoumins!
