Getting from the ship

To Gaspe town and museum or Forillon

First connection

Confirm Sandy Beach dock versus the Gaspe tender landing and arrange the appropriate town transfer. For Forillon, book a vehicle to the selected park area and verify the return pickup. Do not substitute directions for Perce.

Exploring Gaspé, Québec

Simplest approach

For a contained day, visit the Gaspesie Museum and explore town after the transfer. Choose Forillon instead for a nature-focused road itinerary, selecting a manageable walk and checking seasonal facilities. A whale-watching cruise adds a separate departure and return commitment.

Practical notes

Accessibility

Ask about the actual landing and transfer vehicle. Use the park accessibility information to choose a suitable Forillon route.

Weather

Exposed coastal walks need layers and rain protection. Check seasonal park facilities and any boat operations for the call date.
