This is the only way to reach this island isolated from the rest of the archipelago. The crossing aboard the Ivan Quinn takes about an hour. Even if cars are accepted, we recommend that you go on foot, as the island is more suitable for hiking. Space is also limited on board, so reservations are not a luxury, and show up at the dock 20 minutes before the ferry leaves. No service on Christmas or New Year's Day.

This human-scale agency with a strong social and environmental conscience guides travelers along the planet's most beautiful trails and waterways. That said, it also showcases the jewels of Canada and Quebec, and has no shortage of incredible destinations for lovers of the great outdoors. Summer or winter, by sea kayak or cross-country skis, Karavaniers' guided expeditions take you off the beaten track and promise a truly memorable wilderness experience. A must-see!

A very useful address if you are going to the islands by plane and a means of transportation becomes essential on the spot. We rent cars but also mopeds, motorcycles and Spyders.
