Introduction

Open to all skill levels, this 2-night/3-day snowmobile package is tailor-made to help you discover the taiga. Meet a Costier who will accompany you on a typical experience in the tundra and the boreal forest. Voyages Coste, the agency specializing in snowmobile tours in the Côte-Côte-Nord region, accompanies you as a social and solidarity economy company.

DAY 1: Havre-Saint-Pierre (149 km from Sept-Îles)

You can access the Minganie trail network via the TQ93. The trail is punctuated by several lookouts with views of the river. Just before you arrive in Rivière-au-Tonnerre, a bridge spans the picturesque Manitou River. Take advantage of your stop in Rivière-au-Tonnerre, the gateway to the Minganie to do a little tasting of local products with the Voyages Coste team, at 454 Jacques Cartier, Rivière-au-Tonnerre.

The purpose of these meetings with the locals is to share our environment with you.  After this little dynamic break to warm up and exchange with the people in the community, you will continue your journey to the capital of Minganie, Havre-St-Pierre, which formerly bore the name of Havre aux Esquimaux. The TQ3 trail runs along and crosses other rivers, between Sept-Îles and Havre-St-Pierre, in addition to picturesque villages such as Magpie, Rivière-St-Jean, Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan and Mingan.

When you arrive in Havre-St-Pierre (100 KM), in the land of the Cayens, you will be greeted by locals who are delighted to give you a sustainable tourism experience in their fully autonomous chalets that pass near the snowmobile trail. Continental breakfast included in your chalet. Filling up with petrol on arrival at the stopover point is always advised.

You have several choices for the restaurant in Havre-St-Pierre. The restaurants are open 7 days a week until 9 pm.

Day 2. : Havre-St-Pierre / Baie-Johan-Beetz (156 KM) / Havre St-Pierre

Guided adventure to immerse yourself in the Taiga with your professional guide in accordance with the standards of Aventure Écotourisme Québec. Snow and blizzards cover the territory and offer impressive horizons. Meet the locals, pioneers of the northern immensity that unfolds before your eyes as you advance. The Excursion is designed to offer you an authentic experience in the land of the Cayens. Stop at the end of the TQ3 in Baie-Johan-Beetz, return to Havre-St-Pierre and meet a Costier who will accompany you in a typical experience in the tundra and the boreal forest. An ice fishing experience with a cayenne tasting will allow you to soak up the local flavors. From tasting Gin Betchouan, the local distillery's fetish product, to anecdotes from the community, you will keep warm memories on the shores of the Mingan Islands archipelago.

Day 3: Departure

Before heading back, you can make a detour to Natashquan, Mingan, Longue-Pointe de Mingan and then to the moisie river. Arrival in Sept-Îles for lunch before continuing on the road.
