Review:

On the very tip of the Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula in the gulf of the majestic St. Laurence River, you can see an enormous pierced rock rising out of the sea like an ancient sea monster. Visit the nearby charming Perce village and learn many legends about the sea monster and his giant eye that changes color with the moods of the sea.

The area around the rock, which is part of the national park, is great for bird watching, hiking, and kayaking. You can also go to nearby Bonaventure Island to see an enormous colony of northern gannets or passing blue, humpback, minke, or fin whales.
