Hello.
I am in Ste-Anne-des-Monts here in Canada
and I am with Hostelling International Canada.
Today I am going to show you a tour of one of their hostels here
which is the Sea Shack.
Right at the back the Sea Shack is right next to the St. Lawrence River.
Right now it's a little bit chilly,
if you can't tell by the waves, it's a little windy as well.
What is interesting about the Sea Shack
is that not only do they have dorms sharing communal living
like a regular hostel,
they have cabins that you can rent out with your friend.
They also have camping
pitch their tents right next to the river.
There are some campers and there is the river
which kind of looks like an ocean if you ask me.
You really don't know how they do that because at night it gets very cold out here.
The Sea Shack is kind of known as the party hostel.
They have a lot of events and activities,
they have concerts, they have a bar here that a lot of people like to come to, local.
This is the bar area, as you can imagine
it's a little bit more festive once there are people.
There's a stage here for DJ concerts.
They have a restaurant which is open in the summer.
This is where the restaurant normally would be, it's too cold.
The Sea Shack is only open for one week in the winter
because it just gets so cold that there's really no reason to come here.
A lot of locals like to come here
and they come repeatedly here, it's like a tradition to come here.
They actually don't list bedroom availabilities on the website.
So, if you guys want to stay here
then you need to pick up the phone and give them a phone call.
When you look on the website
it's gonna say, that there are no beds or rooms available
and that might not necessarily be true
because they just overbook all of the time.
So, in order to prevent that from happening,
you gotta pick up the phone and do it the old fashioned way.
Let's go check out one of the dorms.
This is an example of what a dorm might look like,
it's pretty cool, I like the layout.
If you are anything like me and don't like the loud noise
and don't want to be a part of the whole party thing,
there is actually a chill shack which you can go and chill in.
Or you can bring earplugs which is what I did,
because the music was popping last night.
Because I am here with few other vloggers
I am staying in a cabinet with them.
So, we've got a picnic table to enjoy some snack or something,
I don't know, it's too cold for that.
Here's our little shack.
Kitchen area, it's a little messy right now
because we're living in it.
Up here we have a bed and actually I'm gonna go upstairs.
Ah, wait for it to stop peeing.
I'm so glad I did not sleep up here.
Oh, my gosh, there's more than two beds up here.
One, two, three, four.
Totally cool going down these stairs.
Chill area.
Got two beds.
Put the clip of my bedroom when it actually looks nice
because I made it all nice and stuff.
So, I'm not going to show you now that it's all messy.
In the mornings there is no breakfast that's included,
so, you bring your own food and stuff.
And we had a lovely breakfast here
with some scrambled eggs and chocolate croissant.
The hostel holds a lot of activities such as stand up paddle boarding,
fishing, swimming, they will take care of all these things for you.
Here is a shack of different supplies and things that you might need
like wetsuits, life jackets, etc.
I actually did the paddle boarding out there,
so, if you haven't seen that video yet
then you should check it out, the link is in the description.
This over here is the reception and lobby area.
Over here is a little shop area.
Sea Shack merch.
Coming up here there's a common room area.
This says that you should only honk the horn
if you see a whale out there.
Do you guys see any whales, any whales?
I see a travel vlogger, though, right there.
And that is it for the tour of the Sea Shack,
hopefully you enjoyed it and will consider staying here
because Hostelling International is awesome and I love these guys.

For now I'm gonna go because
I'm gonna take a group photo with these guys.
So, I will see you when I see you, bye!
