Île Quarry

Departing from the Havre-Saint-Pierre marina, this special sea excursion aboard a boat will lead you to Île Quarry. Once on Île Quarry, hike the loop trail with a Parks Canada guide. Discover a natural botanical garden as you walk past a wide variety of habitats such as shoreline, boreal forest, peat bogs, barrens, and cliffs.
