Day Trip to Miquelon

Did you know Atlantic Tours is one of the few tour companies to include a full day excursion to Miquelon?  After arriving by ferry in Miquelon, a local guide will create a memorable experience of natural and cultural discovery.  Visit the local interpretation centre which highlights and raises awareness of the natural richness of the archipelago.  Enjoy a walking tour of the village of Miquelon, including notable buildings, the church and other points of interest.  After a lunch featuring local products, board a bus for further exploration of Miquelon as you discover the beauty and uniqueness of this landscape with your local guide. Have your camera at the ready as you may see wild horses and, around the rocky coast, seals and birds.  Return to Saint-Pierre for the evening.  (Continental Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Sailor's Island and the Heritage Museum 
Begin your day with a guided visit to the Heritage Museum.  Set in one of the oldest commercial buildings on the islands, the museum highlights the social, economic and religious evolution of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon during the last two centuries.  Next, a short ferry ride takes you to Sailor’s Island – one of the eight islands of the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon archipelago - for lunch and a walking tour.  The visit is intentionally designed at a gentle pace, allowing you to fully appreciate the quiet atmosphere and unique charm of the island.  Throughout the visit, your guide shares stories of the fishing families who lived there, the island’s architectural heritage, and the deep cultural ties between Saint-Pierre and the Grand Banks.   Before a farewell dinner, join your fellow travellers for a panoramic guided bus tour of Saint-Pierre for another opportunity to further understand the island’s character.
