DESTINATIONS — CANADA


cruise run by Croisières Baie de Gaspé (£60.40 for both). But for those who prefer a larger vessel, Croisières AML has whale-watching departures on different-sized ships from 10 ports around the province. Either way, passengers get a chance to spot the 13 whale species found here, including minke, fin and beluga, along with the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale. Must-see animals aside, the


rather unglamorous gannet might not be on your clients’ agenda, but with the largest migratory bird sanctuary in North America tucked away on tiny Île-de-Bonaventure, it should be. The pleasant boat trip to the island is worthwhile in itself, affording views from every angle of the much-photographed Percé Rock; but an easy hike across the island leads to an enormous flock of these bright white seabirds blanketing the rocks – not quite as cute as the beluga, but an unexpected delight.
