Cruises through the 103 islands of the archipelago
A biosphere reserve that must be protected
Did you know that Lake Saint-Pierre is recognized by UNESCO as a unique biosphere reserve, remarkable for its immense biodiversity? Or that with its 103 islands, 90% free of human footprint still to this day, the Lake Saint-Pierre archipelago is the largest grouping of islands in the St. Lawrence? Even better: did you know that there is no better place to contemplate the majestic heron, since the archipelago is home to the largest heronry in North America?
This is what our cruises offer you: a guided stroll to the rhythm of the currents and an incursion into the heart of a breathtaking ecological niche, a river habitat where time seems to stand still.
