Excursion Petite île au marteau tour at Havre-Saint-Pierre

Discover both the natural beauty and cultural wonders of Petite île au Marteau. Take just a 15-minute boat ride to this quaint island featuring white and red buildings set against the bucolic coastal fields. This island offers the opportunity for people with reduced mobility to enjoy a unique experience in the heart of the Mingan Archipelago.

Arrive and meet your knowledgeable guide, setting out on an easy to moderate 1-km walking trail to explore this petite and charming island. Stop at a scenic overlook for a view of the unusual limestone rocks that are so prevalent in the Mingan Archipelago. Also, discover the arctic alpine plants of the barrens, rare occurrences at our latitude and altitude.

Continue on the path until you reach the lighthouse station that has helped prevent shipwrecks since 1915. The highlight of the tour is the chance to enter the light keeper's house for herbal tea and a tasting of traditional wild fruit cookies.
