Exceptional Service for Senior Bus Tours
Posted By admin on June 11, 2010
Senior citizens are the backbone of our society. They have built up a wealth of knowledge and experience in their young days to pass on to the young generations. Now it is time for our elderly to play.
La Grave overview
Becoming elderly and entering the ranks of senior citizens has advantages when it comes to travel vacations. Here on the islands, it is no different, than anywhere else, in that respect. Discount travel packages are given for seniors all year round from most of the major cities of North America to the islands and return by most bus tour companies. Many of the discount packages are offered during off peak seasons or when the average person must work and cannot take the time to travel to the islands. Becoming a member of a senior citizen organization can also bring additional discounts on travel expenses and in most cases all that is required is proof of age.

The Magdalen Islands are a haven for the elderly and retired people and many who have discovered the islands in their youth, return to buy and build on their piece of paradise. This makes it additionally interesting for seniors to come on travel tours. They get to meet new friends and converse with friends of the past who now live here. They also move around from island to island, seeing the best we have to offer and find adventures in every nook and cranny.
A typical senior tour of the Magdalen Islands might consist of a day or two spent at the historical site, La Grave. There are many activities that are held in this area during the summer. The Acadian Festival is early in August and starts with the building of small boat competition, where teams are expect to build a boat using materials that is valued under $200, which will sail one or two members across a distance of 100 meters or so. The event cumulates into a fine good time lasting well into the wee hours on the first Saturday of the month. The Acadian Festival lasts the entire week with many activities and ends on the big Sandy Hook beach with the Sand Castle Competition on the second Saturday of the month.

There are many such activities on the islands. Many people love the taste of the islands and it is spread with love through the “Le bon goût frais des Iles de la Madeleine” (The great fresh taste of the Magdalen Islands). On this tour, visitors get to enjoy the love of food that islanders have, from restaurants serving top quality seafood, to the cheese factory, to island beer and island home-made wine called bagosse, to Island produced preserves including wild strawberry, blueberry and cranberry jams and jellies. All this and a whole lot more….
Don’t forget your bathing suits because there are a lot of sandy beaches to wander aimlessly on and swim leisurely in warm, pleasant lagoon waters or play in the waves of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. You are guaranteed a good time!
