Fantöm – The Hunt

Have you always dreamt of hunting ghosts?

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind augmented reality experience in Quebec with Fantöm: The Hunt. Equipped with augmented reality glasses, explore Beau Séjour Island and cross a spectacular 500-metre floating boardwalk in the heart of Grand-Pabos Bay. Along a nearly 3 km route, you’ll discover breathtaking scenery while tracking the lost souls that have haunted the archaeological site for hundreds of years.

But beware… this is a real competition! Your challenge is to spot as many ghosts as possible and earn more points than your fellow adventurers.

Two different yet complementary routes—one by day and one by night—invite you to enjoy two distinct experiences. Through riddles, discoveries, and mysterious encounters, you’ll meet remarkable characters who will share fascinating stories and little-known anecdotes about the peoples who shaped the region. From the First Nations to Basque fishermen, from French settlers to English soldiers, Fantöm: The Hunt offers an original, fun, and immersive way to travel back in time and discover the fascinating history of Grand-Pabos Bay.

Available during the day (ages 6+) and at night (ages 10+). Children aged 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Available in both French and English. Approximate duration: 120 minutes. Online reservations are recommended.
