Best place for hiking

Kush Kawale

Deep dive into the nature and wildlife.

Aug 2013 My wife and traveled across Canada and Percé was part of our trip. I was here more than twenty years ago and told myself that I would come back.Back then I missed touring the area around the rock.After Percé we went around the peninsula and head east to Quebec City.The area here is very unique with many nice views to see.

Ben Van Duppen

Nice. Love the diving Gannets!

Israa Hilles

Watching the Gannets was very much fun, the hiking there was amazing, make sure to spend all your day there????

Camille Theveniau

Very nice walk around the island. You can also take a look at the super cute old houses and see birds colony from the island. Quite impressive!

Ben

Before you purchase tickets to the park, beware that they will not refund your tickets even if the ferry is not available. We purchased our tickets in advance as was recommended but were disappointed to find that on the day of our visit all the ferries were cancelled due to inclement weather. Fair enough, but to our surprise SEPAQ refused to refund our tickets under any circumstances — even though they are only valid for one day and it is impossible for us to get to the island! It's basically a scam. I'm sure the island is beautiful and I was really looking forward to seeing the gannet colony but this is not right. EDIT: Fortunately, we were able to go back the day after and they let us use our tickets from the previous day. But if we had not been able to go we would have been out 40$. Even though everything worked out in the end I still don't think it's a proper business practice. I would otherwise give a 5 star rating for the wonderful experience but taking this into account it gets 4 stars.

Vincent Berardinucci

Simply amazing

Simon Dadouche

Great adventure

Raphael Morin

A must for someone visiting Percé!

Nicolas Lampron

(Translated) Beautiful Park! Very well preserved place and beautiful hikes possible. The landscapes seen from the Island are splendid! (Original) Beau Parc! Endroit très bien préservé et de belles randonnées possibles. Les paysages vus de l'Ile sont splendides!

Rebekah Hwang

I did the "coloniales" trail. The trail was easy and not that memorable. There were 2 washroom pit stops on the way. Once you get to the top, you're greeted by a sea of birds.

Subhasis Raha

Wow

Edi Patricia Nava Quintero

It's a place when you can walk and see the gannet and seals. There isn't electricity, potable water. You can find a restaurant, but in June 2021 it's still close due restrictions. You can buy sandwich and cakes. It's expensive, so I recommend to buy some snacks or sandwich in Perce. The bathrooms are ecologic, no water to clean your hands only hand sanitizer. I recommend to go early and stay there around 2 or 4 hours. The schedule of the boat to return is: 12:30 pm, 2:30pm, 4:00pm, and 5:00 pm.

Robert-François Trudeau

Very nice ...1 item off my bucket list!

Maude Poitras

Cute little town. Lots of small shops and restaurants. Great trails in the outskirts of the town to see different sights. Sadly the day we were there was a thick fog so we couldn't see very far. We couldn't see the Roche Perce. Also, they are several public bathrooms in the town.

Jacques Montminy

A must see

(Translated) Beautiful hike on the island. Bring good shoes. A little difficult to access for strollers and small children. You have to plan a good 45 min walking speed to get to the Colony by the small path. I recommend taking the 1pm boat to fully enjoy the island. (Original) Belle rando sur l'ile. Apportez vous de bon soulier. Un peu difficile d'accès pour les poussettes et petits enfants. Faut prévoir un bon 45 min bonne vitesse de marche pour se rendre à la Colonie par le petit sentier. Je recommande de prendre le bateau de 13h pour profiter pleinement de l'ile.

(Translated) It's really worth going around Bonaventure Island by boat. For the smartest, pay for the purchase of the entrances to the park before the …

(Translated) A large park is located on the island. You can only get to the park by a pleasure boat, tickets can be purchased on the shore of the town, tickets are sold immediately and on the way back from the island. Pleasure boats leave from the pier to the island, the road to the island by boat is about fifteen minutes. On arrival on the island there are souvenir shops, museums and toilets. But the most interesting thing awaits you ahead, in fact, for the sake of which everyone visits this park. Walking through the park along the paths, among the local fauna, you find yourself on the other side of the island, where seabirds nest, part of the coast is intended for visitors to the park and is fenced off from bird nesting sites. Autumn is a beautiful sight, you will be delighted with what you see. Half an hour before the park closes, the park employee will ask you to leave the shore with the birds and head to the pier to catch the last boat, the road through the park is half an hour or more. From the pier you will be picked up by pleasure boat to your place of departure. (Original) Большой парк расположен на острове. Попасть на территорию парка можно только на прогулочном катере, билеты можно приобрести на берегу городка, билеты продаются сразу и на обратный путь с острова. Прогулочные катера отправляются с пирса на остров, дорога до острова на катере составляет примерно минут пятнадцать. На территории острова по прибытию находятся сувенирные магазины, музеи и можно посетить туалеты. Но самое интересное вас ожидает впереди, собственно ради чего все и посещают этот парк. Пройдя по территории парка по тропам, среди местной фауны, вы попадаете на другой берег острова, где гнездятся морские птицы, часть побережья предназначена для посетителей парка и огорожена от мест гнездования птиц. Осень красивое зрелище, вы останетесь в восторге от увиденного. За полчаса до закрытия парка, вас попросит работник парка, покинуть берег с птицами и направляться к пирсу, чтобы успеть на последний катер, дорога по территории парка состовляет от полчаса и более. С пирса вас забирают на прогулочном катере на место вашей отправки.

I've never seen so many gannets !! Amazing !!

Jean-Francois Richard

Beautiful

Fadi Wehbe

great walks and views in 4 different trails, + seeing the gannets is a big asset, Rocher Percé is nice too. $42 for the boat ride per adult, $20 per kid. $9 per adult for the park, free if < 18.

Xiu Wu

Ocean, grass rocks and birds.

Guillaume-Martin Ratté

You can't miss out on that if you are anywhere near Gaspesie....

Carlo Ricchiardi

(Translated) in spite of the ease of access and the very small size, one of the most beautiful parks I have visited in my life ... The colony of gannets (the second largest in the world) would already be worth the trip, seeing literally dozens of whales from Sentier du Roi was exhilarating. and then the other birds, the seals ... in short, a show. I recommend the cruise around the island before docking, it is worth the 35 CAD it costs ... (Original) a dispetto della facilità di accesso e delle dimensioni, molto piccole, uno dei parchi più belli che abbia visitato in vita mia... La colonia di sule (la seconda al mondo per grandezza) varrebbe già il viaggio, vedere letteralmente decine di balene dal Sentier du Roi è stato esaltante. e poi gli altri uccelli, le foche... insomma uno spettacolo. Consiglio la crociera intorno all'isola prima di attraccare, vale i 35 CAD che costa...

Janice Melanson

So worth the trip.

Irving Ortiz

(Translated) Nice place to visit. Bring your lunch. The food at the snack bar is not good. there are toilets and other services. (Original) Belle place a visiter. Apportez votre lunch. La bouffe du casse-croute n'est pas bonne. il y a des toilettes et d'autres services.

AndreA

Ahh unbelievable place a must visit

felix corriveau

Impressing!

Pavlo Kalyta

Make sure you spare a full day for the trip to the Bonaventure Island. The place is a gem! Take the morning boat, as you need 4-5 hours on the island to truly enjoy it.

Keerthi Reddy

Updated : Last ferry leaves at 5 pm from the island. If you want to explore the whole island then it's recommended to catch the first ferry.

Neeka Sabri

This place is a piece of heaven

Erazem Dolžan

The gannet colonies on the island are absolutely amazing. It is something that must be seen to be believed.

Joshua Dunning

Beautiful place

Simon Thiboutôt

Very nice hike, not too hard, not too long. You got the chance to see wildlife as well which is pretty unique. Well see the Fou the bassan colony and some harbor seal it was pretty nice. The view is very nice too. I highly recommend this if you are passing by. There is some historic information about the former people who lived there back in the days.

Eric Guigue

You must visit the island at least once !

Simon Durocher

Wow, this island is incredible. It is very worth visiting this prestigious parc. The peak of surprises is the other side of the island with the birds.

Antonio Pistore

(Translated) The area that includes the extreme tip of the Gaspésie peninsula is a combination of rare charm and beauty. Beautiful landscapes, nature full of close encounters with the large colony of gannets, gray seals and many other birds. The presence of "puffins" the puffins is also reported, but we have not seen them. We only spent a day and a half on our traveling trip. I think these places deserve a thorough visit for at least a week ... (Original) E' un insieme di rara suggestione e bellezza la zona che comprende la punta estrema della penisola di Gaspésie. Paesaggi splendidi, natura ricca di incontri ravvicinati con la grande colonia di sule, le foche grigie e tantissimi altri uccelli. E' segnalata la presenza anche dei "puffins" le pulcinelle di mare, ma non le abbiamo viste. Ci siamo stai solo un giorno e mezzo durante il nostro viaggio itinerante. Credo che questi luoghi meritino una visita accurata almeno di una settimana...

Elvis Wu

Good place for hiking and observing wild life.

Amazing place

Steven McGivern

Best Quebec experience!

Ella Beaini

An absolute must do. It's be putautiful and immersive.

Olivier Zyngier

Beautiful setting. Lots of birds, gannetts, cormorans, etc. Short cruise to get there (i recommend tbe one that goes around the island. Once on the island, several hikes available, none too strenous. The chemin du roi gets you very close to the birds. Plan on soe2ndinf at least 3 to 4 hours on the island.

Georgin Varghese

Great experience watching the migrating birds nest around the island.

JoAnn McDonald

Amazing place!

Maurizio Covatta

Fun hike to the Fou de Bassan via le Colonie - one hour long

Take the boat tour at 9:00am and get off the island, hike it and catch the 2:00pm boat back. Bring a backpack with water, food and toilet paper.

The Journey to the Bonaventure Island is Worth traveling. The amazing sea and you can see the island from all directions through the cruise.

Evgeny Rachitsky

Amazing island

Katya Planets

This amazing place you should visit at least once in your life!

Sajid Hussain

It was a clear sunny day. The hike was great. Birds and seals were everywhere on the rocks.

Alexandre Gagnon

Absolutely gorgeous!

Didier Levesque

Really nice natural park. You can walk and watch the birds!

Guy Roy

Nice place to visit if you like bird watching and walking. Plenty of both.

Abhi

Skip the visit and hike. Not as great as publicized. Much better places around gaspe to spend a day

Bryan Cngan

The island has only one access which you need to ride the boat which about $40 each. Takes about 45 mins one way. If you wanna do the entire tour of the island you need about the whole day. Opened around 10 i think and last boat will be 4pm. Don’t be late or else ull spend the night there. Nobody lives there I think except for the birds and wildlife... it was a trip of a lifetime

Mehnaz A Bangash

Wonderful and unforgettable!!! Amazing experience on the boat tour to île Bonaventure et du rocher percé. We came across a lot of whales which doubled the excitement along with the crashing waves of the sea that made us all wet.

Hélène Marquis

(Translated) An experience not to be missed. The tour of the island by taking the king's path is worth the detour. (Original) Une expérience à ne pas manquer. Le tour de l'île en empruntant le chemin du roi vaut le détour.

Layla Nawfa

Perfect place ,need to visit

Israel Padilla

Incredible place

Jahan Nasimi

Excellent kayak place

Tony Luo

A must-see place of Perce.

Lisa Elminowski

Absolutely beautiful trails, views, and interpretation centres. Stay to the right side of the boat to get the best view of the seals as you come around the island! And bring your own snacks and lots of water, as there is only one cafe at the dock, and it is quite expensive.

Sheila Southon

Be prepared for a rocky hike of at least 6km of you want to see the gannet colony. Longer hikes are beautiful too and well kept.

Lizets Eidelman

Great adventure ! Must see!! Take water and sun screen.

Absolutely beautiful and full of wild life

(Translated) Magnificent site, very beautiful nature and populated by thousands of birds called gannets. The island is not very big, which allows you to discover it well in one day! We recommend that you take the guided tour (with Line) which was very informative and interesting! This takes place every day around 10 a.m. (Original) Magnifique site, très belle nature et peuplé de milliers d'oiseaux nommés les fous de Bassan. L'île n'est pas très grande, ce qui permet de bien la découvrir en une journée ! Nous vous recommandons de faire la visite guidée (avec Line) qui fut très instructive et intéressante ! Celle ci a lieu tous les jours vers 10h

Alvaro Diego Herrera

The best place in Gaspésie. Great paths to trek beside the seashore

Anastasia S

Beautiful park with beautiful nature. Must see! Enjoy bird watching there and whales while getting there.

Marion

(Translated) A very beautiful place that you absolutely must see. The pierced rock is nice but the island is really incredible. It is breathtaking this colony of northern gannets! Good on the other hand the 40 $ of the boat ..... it still hurts. It's a shame that there is no other way to get that is a little cheaper .... (Original) Un très bel endroit qu'il faut absolument voir. Le rocher percé est sympa mais l'ile est vraiment incroyable. C'est époustouflant cette colonie de fou de bassan ! Bon par contre le 40$ du bateau.....ca fait quand même mal. C'est chien qu'il n'y ait pas d'autre moyen de se rendre qui soit un peu moins cher....

Robin Reji

Enjoyed the hike there. We took the shorter trail to reach the view point and on the way back, we took the longer trail that consists of stairs and it was easier to climb down

jaehyuk koo

You will never realize how it is awesome until you see it for yourself. I really enjoyed eveything in Percé.

Oswaldo Gallango

Nice hiking track. View of the birds nest.

Josee Cadieux

Really nice place and I really like the fact that you are free on the island instead of having a guide and being with a lot of people.

Guilherme D. Garcia

Great place for hiking and bird watching.

Hojjat HAJIHOSSEINI

One of the best place that you can visit in Canada.

Sylvia Moujabber

A must see

Nick Fortin

(Translated) Superb Park with spectacular landscapes. The bird colonies are breathtaking and the Rocher Percé is still so photogenic. Too bad that there are people who do not respect the prohibition signs. Several seals have been observed basking in the sun. Do not hesitate to take a tour of Ile Bonaventure. (Original) Superbe Parc avec des paysages spectaculaires. Les colonies d'oiseaux sont à couper le souffle et le Rocher Percé toujours aussi photogénique. Dommage qu'il y a des gens qui ne respectent pas les panneaux d'interdiction. On y a observé plusieurs phoques se faisant dorer au soleil. Il ne faut surtout pas hésiter à faire le tour de l'Ile Bonaventure.

It's a very good place to visit and hiking here. You need spend one day here. And take a cruise to this island, somebody call it "bird island" because there are thousands of birds here.

Gaëtan Trellu

The Gannet is an experience to live (even if you are not a big birds fan). We had the chance to see a lot of seals! The meadows are colorful!

Awesome spot for hiking. The views are breathtaking and the bird spot is amazing!

Beautiful place to visit Calm trails to do and amazing views

D Stewart

Quaint town and absolutely stunning scenery. We weren't able to get to Perce Rock because there weren't any boats available and it was high tide, but we walked down to the beach and got as close as we could. Definitely worth a visit, but we were happy we stayed in Gaspé so we'd be closer to Parc National Forillon.

Patrice Laroche

Awesome!

Vincent Bernard

(Translated) Superb park on the island, long trails of intermediate difficulty. Food and toilets available on the island. The boats are managed by a local company, the Bateliers de Percé. (Original) Superbe parc sur l'île, longues pistes de difficulté intermédiaire. Nourriture et toilettes disponibles sur l'île. Les bateaux sont gérés par une compagnie locale, les Bateliers de Percé.

great place for a sunny day with the family

Bessem Ben Abdallah

(Translated) Something to absolutely visit! It is a must-see place. I advise you when you are at the place to buy a ticket to go around Percé rock and the splendid Bonaventure Island ???? You will see thousands of birds that shelter the island and also you will see the seals ???????????? Good fun everyone ???? (Original) Quelque chose à visiter absolument! C’est un lieu incontournable. Je vous conseille quand vous serez sur le lieu d’acheter un billet pour faire le tour entre roche Percé et la splendide île Bonaventure ???? Vous verrez des milliers de oiseaux qui abritent l’île et aussi vous verrez les phoques ???????????? Bon amusement à tous ????

Conta N

Wonderful place to visit Percé could be very crowded and "touristic " sometimes.

moi même

Wow!!!!!!!

Elchikaah Haly

The tour to get there is a nice extra as they get us closer to the Rocher Percé and the borders of the Bonaventure island. Watching all fauna around (birds, seals) is very breathtaking. We even get to see some killer whales (I think it was them, but I'm not sure). On the island, there's a small restaurant which is convenient if you don't have a snack ready. The trails are a bit ordinary, but depending on the ones you take, you'll get better views. All trails lead to a close-up of a spectacular gannets gathering, and the birds seem okay with humans presence! My only grip is that waiting for a boat to return to the continent might take a while.

Manthan Makwana

This is one of the most beautiful isolated islands. The cruise from Perce takes you around the island (appx 45 mins trip one way) where you will be able to see big cology of gannet. If lucky, you could also get to see seals during the cruise trip to the island. The elevation of this island is not too high so most of the hiking paths are easy. It is worth to hike till the tip if you would like to see pathbreaking view of gannet colony along the spectecular view of Atlantic Ocean

Laurent Duveau

(Translated) Nice family day with small trails to go to the colony of birds (1:30 round trip) or go around the island (3 hours round trip), there are 4 trails in all, well maintained. There is no drinking water on the island and only 2 places to buy bottles, bring your water! A small restaurant at the entrance of the island, but it is much more interesting to have a picnic in the landscaped area near the colony! $ 8.75 per adult to pay to SEPAQ at the entrance, no debit, cash or credit. Tip: pay your entrance fee to the village Percé before taking the boat, so you will avoid the crowd when the boat arrives on the island! (Original) Belle journée en famille avec petits sentiers pour se rendre à la colonie des oiseaux (1h30 aller-retour) ou faire le tour de l'île (3h aller-retour), il y a 4 sentiers en tout, bien entretenus. Il n'y a pas d'eau potable sur l'île et seulement 2 places pour acheter des bouteilles, apportez votre eau! Un petit restaurant a l'entrée de l'île, mais il est bien plus intéressant de faire un pique nique a l'espace aménagé proche de la colonie! 8,75$ par adulte a payer à SEPAQ a l'entrée, pas de débit, cash ou crédit. Astuce: payez votre droit d'entrée au village Percé avant de prendre le bateau, ainsi vous éviterez la foule a l'arrivée du bateau sur l'île!

A nice park to visit. The boat ride from Perce was great with a circle around the Rock and a circle around the island. Saw lots of birds and seals. On the island the Northern Gannets were spectacular to see. Thousands of them. Trail was easy to moderate for all ages.

Chaitravi K

What a splendid beauty this place is. Truly worry of a hidden gem!!! This was absolutely gorgeous and bewitching. The sights were incredible and flamboyant. This is an amazing place to bring the entire joint family along to. Truly marvelous for picnics and whatnot. Amazing for camping, sledding, hiking, biking, running, jogging, swimming. The staff was bilingual so it was very comfortable. Parking was free and there was wheelchair access as well. Same goes without saying for washrooms. All the families were very posh and clean. The staff was so nice and pleasant and the directions were very well pointed out. This place classifies as natural environment. Not many people know about this splendid place but it's truly worth visiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very interesting place

Louay Jabry

Everything from the boat ride and tour of the perce rock, the sweeping coastal view, the incredible sight of tens of thousands of Gannet birds, to the open sky, cliff-hanging trails make this park among the top in the world.

sharon burgess

Beautiful natural setting with more gannets than I've ever seen in my life

Margarita Ibbott (DownshiftingPRO)

A Canadian bucket list location, Percé Rock is best seen as you cruise to Île-Bonaventure from the Village of Percé. Once you land you start ascending towards various lookout points. You can hike to the other side of the island to see (and hear) one of the largest colonies of Northern gannets in the world, with 51,700 pairs in 2011. The hike is medium level of difficulty but there is a clearly marked trail and a small restaurant to sit and have a cool drink or a snack.

So dreamy!

It is a place were you must see

Murielle Yockell

(Translated) Must do! Take advantage of the deck or the outdoor terrace to enjoy the sea air, beautiful animation, the sound of the microphone is greater than that of the interior of the small cruise ship. Sheltered from the wind below, the benches are spread over three or four rows. Passengers can view the scenery through large, drab portholes. Lots of background noise, the microphone sounds cacophonous. Our regret: We did not do the approximately 45-minute hike to see the northern gannets on Bonaventure Island due to lack of time. (Original) À faire absolument! Profitez du pont ou de la terrasse extérieure pour bénéficier de l'air marin, bel animation, le son du microphone est supérieur à celui de l'intérieur du petit bateau de croisière. En bas à l'abri du vent, les bancs sont répartis sur trois ou quatre rangées. Les passagers peuvent voir le décor à travers de grands hublots ternes. Beaucoup de bruits de fond, le microphone sonne cacanne. Notre regret: Nous n'avons pas fait la randonnée d'environ 45 minutes pour aller voir les fous de Bassan sur l'île Bonaventure par manque de temps.

Marie-Annick Vigneault

(Translated) Wow! The gannet colonies are impressive. Arrive early to make the most of the experience, you cannot book your crossing for a specific time, it is first come first served until the ferries are full. At the start, the boatmen take you past the Percé Rock and go around the island so that you can see the colonies of birds nestled on the cliffs, seals and if you are lucky minke whales before dropping you off at the sea. dock. Remember to bring food and drink, as it is quite expensive on site. There are 4 trails on the island, they all lead to the settlements and it's really impressive. Must do once in a lifetime. (Original) Wow! Les colonies de fous de Bassan sont impressionnantes. Arrivez tôt pour profiter au maximum de l'expérience, vous ne pouvez pas réserver votre traversée pour une heure précise, c'est premier arrivé premier servi jusqu'à ce que les traversiers soient complets. Au départ, les bateliers vous font passer devant le Rocher Percé et font le tour de l'île afin que vous puissiez voir les colonies d'oiseaux nichés sur les falaises, des phoques et si vous êtes chanceux des petits rorquals avant de vous déposer au quai. Pensez à vous apporter à boire et à manger, car c'est assez dispendieux sur place. Il y a 4 sentiers sur l'île, ils mènent tous aux colonies et c'est vraiment impressionnant. À faire absolument une fois dans sa vie.

Alexe Nault

Loved it, very beautiful

Johnson DiCola

Wow just Wow ????

Worth the ferry ride out to see the ganets. You can see the colonies up close with the viewing platforms.

Dumitru Papanaga

It is a wonderful place..

An experience like no other : surrounded by hundreds of ganners in their own habitat . Unique.

Teresa Pordonzalan

My fitbit recorded 21, 876 steps. It's always worth our long drive again to come here. In l'le Bonaventure alone was very pleased. I lost my cell for 10 minutes and when I was crazy looking for it a worker came to me saying some old man gave my cell to him. Hallelujah. Thank you

Barry

The Roy hiking trail (~10K )was beautiful.This tour is a bit pricey but it's definitely worth it.

Alfredo Jr. Romero

(Translated) First time in Percé and I love this experience. Although he did not spank the Sun too much ... Very nice place to walk, relax and have a Zen moment. Sure I'll be back with more time .. Important to go if the tide is base so you can walk closer to the rock. I recommend it for a trip, alone, as a couple or family (Original) Première fois a Percé et j'ai adorer cette expérience. Malgré qu'il ne fessait pas trop Soleil...Tres belle place pour se promener, relaxer et un moment Zen. S'est sure que j'y retournerai avec plus de temps.. Important d'y aller si la marée est base afin que vous puissiez marcher plus proche du roché. Je vous le recommande pour un voyage, seul,en couple ou familiale

Beautiful place

Beautiful place, informative boat tour, nice hiking trails on the island, and a large bird refuge. We took half a day to explore the island, it was a wonderful experience. The bird refuge was very impressive in size and density.

A must go place when you are in the area

Heratch Almajian

cristian popescu

Perfect for a family

Cristian T.

Beautiful scenery, the trails are easy to do.

Lior Askal

Beautiful!!! But BEWARE to those with motion sickness. The 45 minutes boat right is extremely rough. I almost didn't make it, but when we did, it was all worth it. Great hike and beautiful scenery.

Rui Zhao

Beautiful place. Lots of birds, gannetts, cormorans, etc. Short cruise to get there (i recommend to be one that goes around the island. Once on the island, several hikes available. The chemin du roi gets you very close to the birds. Plan on at least 3 to 4 hours on the island

(Translated) For those who are not used to being so close to the sea and the altitude, bring a hoodie / sweater. I only had a t-shirt and shorts and then I was super cold because it was so windy. Otherwise, it's a great site and for content creators, it's Instagramable ???? I would have liked the beach to be cleaned because the algae took up a lot of space and over time I think it might smell a bit strong. In any case, it's still a great discovery and a great tourist site! (Original) Pour ceux qui n’ont pas l’habitude d’être aussi proche de la mer et de l’altitude, venez avec un hoodie/chandail. J’avais seulement un t-shirt et un short puis j’avais super froid parce qu’il ventait énormément. Autrement, c’est un très beau site et pour les créateurs.trices de contenu, c’est Instagramable ???? J’aurai bien aimé que la plage soit nettoyée parce que les algues occupaient énormément de place et avec le temps je pense que ça risque de sentir un peu fort. En tout cas, ça reste une belle découverte et un beau site touristique!

The hiking trails are great! Especially the one along the coast where we saw seals and a whale and of course the thousands of gannets. Really a unique experience ! A must in the region.

Ghina Besbes

Good place for hiking with nice view. Bring your hiking shoes and water which is expensive there.

Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé is located at the end of the Gaspé peninsula, it composed of Bonaventure Island the majestic Percé Rock, the tourist emblem of Quebec. Its famous colony of northern gannets, the third largest colony and most accessible in the world make it a must-see destination, and there are some buildings of former islander's homes to witness the life once there of the last century. Taking the cruise from perce quai to circle the Rock and to the island. There are 4 hiking trails, the simple way is hiking to the Colony where the Gannett stay, then walk 5 minutes to the Lookout tower(you can see it standing over the cliffs when on the cruise), then continue hiking to the dock, it would take 2.5 to 3 hours, observing and hiking, you can see seals in the water and on rocks, and you can observe the Rock from different angles and perspectives. The northern gannet colony has 116,000 birds, a must see! The park opens from May 31 to October 11. Daily fee is 9 dollars per adult, kids under 17 are free.

Donald Levesque

Breathtaking views and love the smell of the ocean!

Fred Marier

Watching the Gannet is amazing however the boat ride to get there is one hour and the hike is 1 to two hours. Once you see the Gannet there is tons of flies and the smell was overwhelming. once you include the boat ride and entry to the park it is $50 per person.

Wendy K.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. It is like being in the middle of a National Geographic episode. Everyone should go and see this phenomena. Still thinking about it.

Veronique Proulx

Stunning! I would highly recommend the Boat tour! To get on the island its an extra 8.50$ but worth it! Start with the "Le Mousse" trail up to the bird and finish with "Roy" trail that is facing the ocean! Its the easiest way to see everything and its absolutly amazing.

A must if you're in Percé

Frédéric Bastien

Very beautiful. Plan the full day there to see everything with a child

Timothée Elxe

(Translated) Great family experience. After the tour of the rock and the island by boat, hike with a free guide to reach the nests of the birds. They lend free high quality hiking baby carrier or strollers type child bike trailer. …

Richard Ferrara

Great trip. Love it.

Maggie Shao

Best place to see birds.

Adriana M

Beautiful and outstanding place! This is a must to visit if you come to Gaspesie region.

Francis Sommers

Well worth the $8.75 price if admission to the island. Loved hiking these trails

bozidar jug

Nature at its best

Mathieu Tremblay

I loved how this park offers a variety of trails that all go to and from the Gannett colony (the island's best attraction), thus allowing visitors to pick a route that matches the time they have to spend on the island/physical ability. Trails are well-kept and well-marked. Commodities are abundant and there even seemed to be more paths in development. All trails are relatively easy and the views are great. Definitely worth a stop.

Laetitia Séné

Amazing experience !

Cristian M

Must see

Murray Stark

Memorable and not to be missed.

Rémy G

Worth the trip, even if only to see the birds

Vahid Mohammadian

Beautiful

Renata Pereira

A must see experience

Eric P

It is a good place to see lots of birds and a ton of them! Though the trails are pretty banal as you got nothing to see as you take the ones that passes inside the island. As you get on the edge you see tons of birds and it gets interedting. Take the cruise that circle around the island to get there it is worth the trip.

Brian Kalte

Ferry to the island toured both sides of Percé Rock before a full tour around the island before docking. Great to see Bonaventure from a water perspective before hiking the island. We enjoyed the hike very much. We didn't find the trail we took difficult at all. I am not a bird guy but it was very interesting. So many birds and they don't get along very well. Not an easy life being a gannett!

Andrew Bossé

The Roy hiking trail is very nice, and of course seeing the northern gannets at the end of the trail. If you're in the Gaspésie region it's pretty much a must to visit. The downside: the ferry ride is almost an hour, and they aren't shy to pack the boat like sardines during Covid times. Try to go off peak hours and avoid the first ferry to the island at 8:45.

David Mark

Great hike.

elwin romein

Beautiful Island, take your time visiting!!! Loads of birds ???? and sea lions!

Vladimir L

A great experience, but the gunnet's colonies have a strong smell.

F. Dunham

So incredibly beautiful

Zohar Kuperman

Nice place ,bad weather

Shu Yao

The scenery is very beautiful. There are many gannett birds nesting in on the island. Need at least 4 to 5 hours to explore the island.

The Park itself is beautiful, a healthy ecosystem with an abundance of wildlife and excellent wildlife trails. However the entry and exit to the park leaves much to be desired. There is no organisation, people are herded together after …

Trish L

Beautiful park. It's a pleasant walk up to the top and the views are incredible. Definitely Italy worth a visit!

Unbelievable place! I will come back!
