Razorbills
Discover the Razorbills of the St. Lawrence!
Less than 35 minutes from Québec City, set off on an unforgettable adventure into the heart of the Isle-aux-Grues archipelago to meet the Alca torda — better known as razorbills, or little penguins!
Your destination? The Pilier de Bois, a remote rocky islet where these charming seabirds return by the hundreds each year for their short breeding season.
Guided by our passionate captains and an expert naturalist, this narrated cruise will immerse you in the fascinating world of this unique species — while also unveiling the spectacular landscapes and little-known history of the surrounding islands.
Heads-up: This cruise is offered for a very limited time only! Razorbills are only present for a few weeks — the perfect window to catch a glimpse of them in their natural habitat.
A fun and educational outing, perfect for the whole family!
What to expect:
- Departure point: Board at the Berthier-sur-Mer Marina, just 35 minutes from Québec City.
- Duration: The total excursion lasts around 5 hours, depending on tides and sea conditions.
- Season: This cruise is available from May 10 to June 30.
