Sea excursions

Get on board the JV Exploramer, an 18-passenger covered zodiac, for an eco-tourism excursion at sea.

Two themes are available:

The Discovery of the St. Lawrence River
(time: 1½ hours)

This excursion offers a first contact with the St. Lawrence River. Discover the magical world of the ecosystem of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and its estuary; watch the raising of whelk and common crab pots; touch little-known organisms and perhaps be witness to the graceful dance of marine mammals.

 

A Laboratory on the Sea
(time: 1½ hours)

Pierce the mystery of the St. Lawrence River while you participate in the gathering of scientific data and thus contribute to the preservation of the quality of its waters. Everyday, the information picked up on board the JV Exploramer is sent to a whales protection institute (ROMM). With the help of scientific instruments, observe the world of the infinitely small and infinitely large. From plankton to whales, you will discover to what extent the life in the St. Lawrence River is rich and diversified.
