Practical information
When you arrive on the beach at the L'Anse-Saint-Jean marina, you will first receive basic kayak training and safety instructions.
Then, you will head to the islet Saint-Jean which protects the reproduction of a funny bird: the Spotted sandpiper. This is where the fjord unfolds its splendour with Île Saint-Louis in the background, an enchanting moment to start the excursion.
Several legends will be told to the children and will amuse young and old alike.
Perhaps you will even see our friend the harbour seal? Experiencing the fjord from the water is definitely the best way to discover the wild beauty of the Marine Park.
*The itinerary varies according to the tides and wind direction
Show up half an hour before the activity starts.
Bring a reusable water bottle (Fjord en Kayak does not sell single-use plastic bottles out of respect for the environment).
Please note that this excursion is dedicated to families with young children. Thus, the tour is not suitable for an adult group.
Children aged 3 to 5 can sit in the middle compartment, older children sit in the front with an adult in the back.
The conditions of the Saguenay Fjord are generally mild in the evening, but it can happen that the outing is cancelled due to high winds with children. In most cases, this decision is made half an hour before the excursion.
Due to the COVID-19, all expeditions will be done in tandem, except if you are alone or if your group is composed of an odd number of people (see directly with the provider).
