Nautical Excursions

Many different operators offer excursions on sea. 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).
