Altogether 40 limestone islands, accessible only by water, will provide spectacular views and landscapes as you investigate the park's tremendous array of flora and fauna.The island shorelines are coated with white sand and totem-pole-like rocks formed by glacial movement thousands of years ago. Plant life is abundant and there are 452 rare species of alpine and arctic flora. Puffins inhabit three of the islands and can be seen from May to August, and of course whales can be frequently seen in the waters of the St. Lawrence. What to see and do.
