Explore the Fjords in Parc National du Fjord du Saguenay
Fjords are normally associated with Norway and the Scandinavian region, but did you know Quebec also boasts these awe inspiring feats of nature?
Fjord du Saguenay runs for 105 kilometres at the mouth of the Saguenay River, and is one of the most scenic places to visit in Quebec! It’s a natural wonderland filled with seals, migrating seabirds (at certain times of year) and Beluga Whale!
Hike your way over steep mountains which dive dramatically into the sea or captain your own kayak throughout the fjord system to discover marine wildlife (Beluga whales come well within kayaking range and can even be seen from the shore!).
Keep in mind that in the winter months you need to park your RV at the main entrance and hike in with snowshoe’s (a unique adventure in itself!).
