Ep. 366: Percé, Quebec | RV travel camping hiking kayaking rvlife rvliving gannet colony

We're not ones to give in to superlatives, but this may well be our best Grand Adventure yet! Percé Rock is one of Quebec's most recognized landmarks, but there's a whole lot more to see and do around this charming seaside resort town besides the rock. While staying at Camping Côte Surprise right on the southern end of the village we'll hike to both the observation platform at the Percé Geopark and beautiful Emerald Falls, sample both an outstanding microbrewery and some of Quebec's famed dining, take the boat to Bonaventure Island to see North America's largest northern gannet colony, and even kayak out to Percé Rock itself! You won't want to miss this episode.

ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around North America. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.

We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!
