** UPDATED the departure time due to no interest on leaving early Friday :( ** I will be leaving from Ottawa. We will decide on meeting point when I have people's confirmation in Montreal. Pick up time in Montreal would be at 5:00 PM. Ottawa pickup 2:30 PM. <This is not going to be cheap but amazing and fun - I am NOT a tour guide or anything ... Just a simple guy who loves hiking and outdoors. I am responsible for driving you to places safely but you are responsible for your own safety while on trails, etc). OPEN to suggestions and happy to get some help on booking places. CONFIRMATION IS REQUIRED BY TUESDAY 6:00 PM. CONFIRM BY a PRIVATE MESSAGE. I will send you my email address. You will need to email transfer me a deposit of $100 non-refundable so I book the places. If you don't feel comfortable transferring the money, I won't book anything and won't know if you are one of those couch surfers who might change their opinion at 7 AM of the planned travel. UPDATE - PLAN 1. Leave Friday 5 PM 2. Drive and stay in Parc national de la Gaspésie. Haven't looked into where but shouldn't be an issue finding a motel or something in the park itself. 3. Saturday. Hike Mont Richardson. Amazing view. Difficult. 11.5 KM. 705 m elevations. Takes about 6 hours depends on the pace. Drive to "Parc National Forillon" and stay there. 4. Sunday morning. Hike / drive the parc. The hike would be 7-8 km and takes 2.5 - 4 hours. 5. Use http://www.lesbateliersdeperce.com or http://croisieres-julien-cloutier.com to take a ferry to the rock and then the island Bonaventure. If time allows, go to Chute de la Riviere-aux-Emeraudes. 6. Monday EARLY morning (7sh) ... drive back. No stop except 10 - 20 minutes stops for coffee/bath/buy lunch. Should be home before 9 PM. COST: Ferry $35 pp, Zodiac / Whale Watching / Cave more if you want to go for it. Quebec Parks Entry (3 parks / $8.5 each). Canada Parks entry (1 Park / $7.80). Parking (Not sure - We will share). Accommodations - 3 Nights. Average $150 pp (Might be less or more depends on how many / where we can find a place). Gas/Car contribution: 2500 KM. $150 - $200 pp depends on how many passengers. Food: Your budget. I will be on budget myself. +any other extra expenses you'd like to spend. Total ~ $350 - $400 for 4 days except food. Hello, I am thinking of a trip to Gaspé during long weekend. It can start from Friday night with a stop overnight along the way. Hike multiple parks. Maybe do a whale watching tour. Relaxing for 1 day then driving back. No plans are set on stone. This is just to get ideas and interests. When it is confirmed, we will book accommodations. I have a car and will be doing the driving. I have done similar trips before and always had great experiences. Please let me know what you think. Only serious people please. Thank you
