Nautical Excursions

Boat and Zodiac Excursions

Many different operators offer boat and zodiac tours. This is one of the easiest ways to explore the grottoes and the cliffs, to observe bird colonies, dive with the seals, go fishing, or learn more about the sea-faring history of the Madelinots. You might also choose to go for a ride in the lagoon at Havre-aux-Maisons, or to take a trip to Entry Island, Île Brion, Corps Mort or Bird Rock (Rocher-aux-Oiseaux).

Attention:

The Québec Transportation Commission regulates this activity. To offer a boat tour, a carrier must have a mandatory permit. It is your passport for a safe tour!

For more information, call the Commission des Transports du Québec in Montreal at (514) 873-6424.
