Day 1: Montreal or Quebec City (by plane) | Sept-Îles | Rivière-au-Tonnerre (122 km)

At the same time, get the road CD that will accompany you from Havre-Saint-Pierre to Natashquan. A welcome cocktail with local flavors in the cooperative's dining room and an audio tour of the Norman-style wooden church await you upon your arrival at Rivière-au-Tonnerre.

During the flight (estimated duration of 15 minutes), you will have the chance to see the Mingan Archipelago from the air. When you disembark, your host will be waiting for you at the airport to take you to Port-Menier, the capital of Anticosti Island.

Upon your arrival, we will drive you to your lodge. Once settled, you will be taken to one of the two restaurants in the village to have your lunch. After lunch, your guide will pick you up to discover the western sector of the island. Your guided tour includes the old village of Anse aux fraises, Pointe Ouest and Baie Ste-Claire.
