Excursions Exploramer

Located on the wharf in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Exploramer is a marine-focused attraction dedicated to the St. Lawrence Estuary. Featuring an aquarium, touch pools, the St. Lawrence Shark Pavilion, a museum, sea excursions, a fish-harvesting activity and the Fourchette bleue certification program, Exploramer invites visitors to discover the wonders of the sea.

Sea Excursion: Come aboard the CE Marin–Exploramer, a 31-passenger vessel, and discover its scientific laboratory, where you can observe plankton under a microscope. Watch as crab and whelk traps are hauled aboard and take part in collecting scientific data. It's an exciting, hands-on way to explore the fascinating world of the St. Lawrence.

Fish-Harvesting Activity: Put on your chest waders and follow a science guide from the shoreline to the fishing weir, right through the water. Take advantage of low tide to explore the underwater zone and discover the plants and animals that inhabit it. This hands-on experience offers a closer look at the Gaspesian coastline and the different species caught in the fishing net.

Dare to Taste! Join a tasting activity led by a science guide and discover the responsible seafood choices offered by the St. Lawrence. Sample five marine species featured by the Fourchette bleue program.

Because every trip deserves a special souvenir, the Exploramer gift shop offers a wide selection of little treasures to give or keep for yourself. Browse maritime-themed souvenirs, Gaspesian crafts, local products and an extensive collection of books about the sea. These carefully selected items are sure to delight!
