Discover Lac Taureau, a 95 km2 reservoir, bordered by several sandy beaches, numerous islands, a hydroelectric dam, and typical boreal forest fauna and flora. Rich in history, the guided cruises will also offer you a look at the cultural heritage of the Haute-Matawinie and its history.

You will travel aboard an Explorathor fly boat named the Saindon with a capacity of 40 passengers.  The boat is fully windowed to give you a 360 degree panoramic view at all times. Our boat is also equipped with a removable staircase at the front allowing you to access to beaches and get off on the undeveloped islands making the cruise experience unique.

 

Our cruises

Cruise to the Village Island: a rendez-vous with the history of Saint-Ignace-du-Lac, a dynamic village where 700 inhabitants lived and were deported to the four corners of Quebec because the village was flooded in 1931 for the construction of a hydroelectric dam, which led to the creation of Lac Taureau. You will dock directly on the beach to visit the island and its ruins before returning to your departure point. Animated cruise.

Historical cruise: aboard the Le Saindon cruise ship, take a two-hour plunge into the rich history of Saint-Michel-des-Saints. What better way to discover the area than on a cruise, where forestry has long been the region's economic engine.Animated cruise.

Cruise to the Taureau Lake Dam : Cruise directly to the dam and cross the entire lake.  Along the way, admire the beaches, islands, winged fauna and the surrounding nature until you reach this impressive hydroelectric structure. Animated cruise.

Village Island Cruise

Did you know that Saint-Ignace-du-Lac was a dynamic village where 700 settlers lived who were deported to the 4 corners of Quebec because the village was flooded in 1931 for the construction of a hydroelectric dam, which led to the creation of Lake Taureau. The old hill, the highest point of the village, is today an island where it is possible to observe several vestiges of this time. You will disembark directly on the beach to visit the island before returning to your starting point. Along the way, observe the surrounding wildlife, you might see the iconic bald eagle that nests near the lake. Animated cruise.
