Want to explore Quebec? From one end of the province to the other, Sépaq offers a tremendous variety of experiences in 23 national parks and 13 wildlife reserves. While some like to recharge their batteries in a cozy hotel and enjoy the pleasures of a gastronomic table, others prefer to pitch their tent on the edge of a lake or a river full of fish to live in the present moment – and cook their taken over a wood fire for supper. To each his own corner of paradise and his own definition of luxury! Regardless of the type of experience chosen, nature and its benefits are always there. The guides, animators and passionate employees, for their part, are eager to share their knowledge of the territories and ecosystems that we must protect. Throughout the Sépaq network, everything is done to help visitors experience unforgettable moments and become familiar with Québec’s natural heritage.
Discover Anticosti
Change of scenery and wonder guaranteed
Luxury, the real thing, is having the chance to explore a wild territory, admirably preserved and very little frequented. Anchored in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Anticosti Island is a must to put on your bucket list, because it dazzles with its immense white cliffs, its vertiginous canyons, its rivers with emerald waters where salmon come to spawn. Here, it’s the seals that bask in the sun rather than the tourists, and you come across more white-tailed deer than people. The perfect site for enjoying a one-on-one with nature! By offering stays such as the all-comfort, all-inclusive package at Auberge Port-Meunier, which includes air transportation from Mont-Joli, meals, loan of electric bikes and watercraft, and a guided day in Parc national d’Anticosti, Sépaq now makes this paradise island once reserved for wealthy hunters and fishermen accessible. Note: other types of packages, particularly in cabins by the sea, with or without fishing, are also available.

All-inclusive vacations
To escape and have fun with the family
30 minutes from Quebec City, on the shore of the imposing Lac Saint-Joseph, the Duchesnay Tourist Station has a special place for families. There is a new nautical center, a sandy beach with a floating dock where you can relax on lounge chairs, as well as a volleyball court and hiking and biking trails. Not to mention an aerial adventure course in the trees! A team of animators offers a host of guided activities for young people or adults, such as geocaching or archery. In terms of accommodation, you can stay in one of the 48 ultra-comfortable rooms of the four-star inn or reserve one of the two lodges of 8 and 12 rooms, equipped with a kitchen and a living room, for a family party. Another option: the new Oxygène chalets, modern and warm, which can accommodate 4 to 16 people in complete peace of mind. Regardless of the type of accommodation, children and young people under 18 stay for free in their parents’ room.

Cabins and camping
To recharge your batteries, far from the noise of the city
Want a 100% natural experience? It is possible to escape to a rustic refuge or camp in the middle of nature to have holy peace. You can also embark on the adventure of a canoe-camping course, planned with the advice of experienced staff. But those who want a little more comfort have a choice. Thus, the ready-to-camp units, with their large tents already set up including beds, heating, auxiliary lighting, cooking equipment – and a nearby toilet block – offer an experience that appeals to families, couples and groups. of friends. Yurts are an unusual option that is gaining more and more followers. Beautiful wooden chalets with large bay windows have replaced some camps. In the Saint-Maurice wildlife reserve, for example, the Horizon chalets, which appeared in 2020, emphasize solar energy while retaining the essential wood stove. More comfortable and more practical, they take nothing away from the charm of a stay in this magnificent corner of the country.
