We mainly communicate in French, our native language, and we are also able to communicate comfortably in English in order to best support our
international guests.

Seasickness depends on each person’s sensitivity. It is recommended to eat lightly before the excursion, stay well hydrated, and take any necessary precautions if needed.

Cameras and photo equipment are allowed. To avoid any damage, we recommend using waterproof protection for your devices.
Drones are not allowed on board the boat.

Pets are not allowed on the boat or in the accommodation.

There are no toilets on the boat, so we recommend using the restroom
before getting equipped.

To swim with orcas, you must wear a swimsuit under the wetsuit. We provide swim caps for people with long hair who wish to use one. We also recommend wearing 100% wool socks inside the booties and bringing warm, waterproof gloves.

For orca and whale watching, although we provide a thermal waterproof
suit as well as warm waterproof boots,
you should still wear clothing suitable for Arctic cold conditions (several layers).

Our RIB boat can accommodate up to 12 participants, but we have chosen to limit the group to 10 people (5 swimmers and 5 observers) to ensure greater respect for the animals, a more intimate experience, and better interaction between the crew (the captain and 2 guides) and the passengers.

Yes. The water temperature can range from 3°C to 8°C depending on the time of year. Don’t worry: with
the proper equipment, you will mainly feel the emotion and excitement of the encounters you may experience. You will probably feel less cold in the water than outside.
