* It is important to understand that a wildlife-watching excursion such as the seal pup watching tour depends on natural elements, and that the weather (quite variable on the îles de la Madeleine) could force us to adjust our schedules over the course of the day. The best advice our naturalist guides can give you is to embrace the spontaneity of the moment! It’s the best way to really enjoy your experience and, more importantly, the environment around you! After all, it’s for this beautiful show provided by nature that you are taking part in this fabulous winter experience!
