The Magdalen Islands are a group of eight islands located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, east of Quebec, near Newfoundland. This unremarkable island, in fact, hides a lot of treasures worth exploring! At the end of August, we went to the Magdalen Islands, which was breathtaking. More than 300 kilometers of coastline, blue sea, blue sky, pure white beaches, and few tourists allowed us to immerse ourselves.

We took a ferry from Prince's Island and sailed for five hours to the Magdalen Islands. The ferry was supposed to leave at 2 p.m., but because of the weather, it was advanced to 6 a.m., and we needed to arrive at the dock one and a half hours earlier. We left home at 3 o 'clock and went to the dock.

When we arrived at the dock, it was not yet light, and the cars were lined up neatly, basically all of Quebec, and the ferry was ready to dock in the distance, and we waited for a while and began to board the ship. Although it is a ferry, but in fact the conditions are very good, there are cinemas, restaurants, children's recreation rooms, etc., even the seats can be put very low, sleep is no problem.

The ferry left at 6 o 'clock on the dot. It was just sunrise. The red sun rose from the sea. It was so beautiful. The ferry follows the shoreline of Prince Island until it reaches the eastern tip of Prince Island and heads northeast.

The weather was not so good, it started to rain and wind after more than an hour of sailing, but the ferry, which carries 16,000 tons, was so smooth that it didn't even feel like it was on the sea, so it took a chance to catch up on sleep, and five hours passed quickly, and the Magdalen Islands were in sight.
