Take a boat ride to see Cap-aux-Meules Island's magnificent caves and cliffs and to learn about lobster fishing. As you travel, your guide will explain the natural history of Cap-aux-Meules and point out various bird species that occupy the cliffside rookeries.
A boat journey along the coast is the ideal platform from which to admire the brilliant red cliffs sculpted by the sea and the wind. You'll hear about the erosion of the rock and its geological formation.
The realities of lobster fishing are brought home when you help with raising a lobster trap. Learn about acquiring fishing licenses, how the lobsters get into the trap, what type of bait lobster fishermen use, how to tell the males from the females, what size of lobster can be kept, and more. Questions? Great! Your guide has all the answers. Fishing is the leading economic activity on Les Iles de la Madeleine; this fascinating experience explains how this key economic driver shapes the Madelinot way of life.
