Interesting facts
- Over 490 vascular plant species grow in the Mingan Archipelago, while the much larger Côte-Nord has only 380 species.
- Over 35,000 pairs of seabirds find refuge in the archipelago during the breeding season. The most popular species is undoubtedly the Atlantic Puffin, which nests in two different sectors of the park reserve.
- The islands are made up of limestone rock, which is 450 million years old! The monoliths, on the other hand, were formed 20 000 years ago.
- Our discovery activities are a completely different way of experiencing the islands. Discover them through local products, Innu culture or a play in which you are part of the scenery.
Recommended amount of time to spend on site
- Duration of the excursions will vary between 2 hours and 5 hours and 30 minutes. This will allow you to spend time on at least one of the islands.
- If you have more time, you can spend the night in one of our different accommodations or use a water-taxi to spend the day.
When to go
- The park reserve is open from June to September. The Atlantic Puffins can be seen until the end of August.
