Reviews of Bateliers De Perce Inc (Website Designer)

Patrick Banville

(Translated) Unfortunately I cannot put 0 as a star. The young man who received us lied to us all the way, telling us that the tour was free if we ate at one of the two restaurants next to the kiosk. I even went to see him face to face to be sure there was no misunderstanding. After our meal we came back to see him to know the rest of the procedure and the: SURPRISE????????????????????????????????????????. He had never said that and it is completely illogical. It was a misunderstanding. That I had misunderstood. A complaint was officially filed with the city office. (Original) Malheureusement je ne peux mettre 0 comme etoile????????????. Le jeune qui nous a reçue nous a menti sur toute la ligne en nous disant que le tour était gratuit si l'on mangeait à l'un des deux restaurants à côté du kiosque. J'ai même été le voir face à face pour être sûr qu'il n'y est aucun mal entendu. Après notre repas nous sommes revenu le voir pour connaître le reste des procédure et la: SURPRISE????????????????????????????????????????. Il n'avait jamais dit ça et c'est complètement illogique. Il s'agissait d'un mal entendu. Que j'avait mal compris. Une plainte a été déposé officiellement au bureau de la ville.

William Villeneuve

(Translated) We take the trouble to call to ask for the departure time of the direct boat to the island, we are told 9:00 am and when we arrive the next morning at 8:45 am the boat has already left. Not strong. (Original) On prend la peine d'appeler pour demander l'heure de départ du bateau direct vers l'ile, on se fait dire 9h00 et quand on arrive le lendemain matin à 8h45 le bateau est déjà parti. Pas fort.

Don't expect whales jumping out the water let alone seeing a fin

Paul Labranche

(Translated) Arrive 20 minutes in advance because there are always too many people to get on the boat and despite the reservations, they will not make the effort to add a departure unless they can fill it up! The hours are not very flexible before the high season. The ticket price is absurdly expensive for what it is, and it increases in high season, when it is not even paid at Sépaq. Depending on which boat you board (one or the other, it's the same companies), the employees are not always friendly, even if they laugh at certain customers behind their backs, I have seen them do . And after that they ask for Tip! While it should go to the Sépaq employee who does the animation for them during the cruise. If you can hear it under the deafening noise of these old boat engines. As much as the island is a wonder that everyone should discover, so much this company curbs the experience and does not give the desire to cross again. Go there because the cruise around the island is really superb, and it's your only way to get to the island, but don't expect too much from these two companies. (Original) Arrivez 20 minutes à l'avance car il y a toujours trop de monde pour monter sur le bateau et malgré les réservations, ils ne feront pas l'effort d'ajouter un départ à moins de pouvoir le remplir! Les horaires sont peu flexibles avant la haute-saison. Le prix du billet est absurdement cher pour ce que c'est, et il augmente à la haute-saison, alors que ce n'est même pas versé à la Sépaq. Tout dépendant dans quel bateau vous montez (l'un ou l'autre, c'est les mêmes compagnies), les employés ne sont pas toujours sympathiques, même qu'ils se moquent de certains clients dans leur dos, je les ai vu faire. Et après ça ils demandent du Tip! Alors que ça devrait revenir à l'employée de la Sépaq qui fait l'animation à leur place durant la croisière. Si vous arrivez à l'entendre sous le bruit assourdissant de ces vieux moteurs de bateau. Autant l'île est une merveille que tout le monde devrait découvrir, autant cette compagnie brime l'expérience et ne donne pas le goût de traverser à nouveau. Allez-y car la croisière autour de l'île est vraiment superbe, et c'est votre seul moyen de vous rendre sur l'île, mais n'ayez pas trop d'attentes quant à ces deux compagnies.

Philippe Verruy

(Translated) We crossed the Atlantic arrived on August 10 in Montreal, the Nigarra Falls, visit to Toronto, a little detour. in Quebec, then Lac St Jean with unforgettable visits, then Gaspesie with Causapscal and Matapedia, Caraquet au. NEW BRUNSWICK with charming people, the Bonnaventure river superb and always so pleasant with beautiful people, I shortened everything to be fine until September 1 or we are in Percé and take our tickets for the whale watching cruise, we arrive at 10 a.m. and told us that for the balaines it is too late we have to wait 1 p.m. and that it will be good, I ask if he sees a lot of whales I am told that yes and to go see on the site, we buy our tickets and have waited for 1:00 p.m. and the surprise we are told not enough people and that the tickets will be refunded, we return to the ticket office and the less welcoming person. We tell her of our disappointment, she replies that it is not her fault if the weather is bad, then she tells someone in our group that she needs the receipt outside the ticket, she replies that she paid in cash and we did not give her a receipt only the ticket, she replies that she will not have the cache, I intervene and tell her that I witness the payment, and she finds the cache. We were reimbursed, we lost three hours, it's not too serious, but taking customers for pigeons is not long ....... A person informed is worth ...... . Too bad on a nice trip it will stay, finally we will quickly forget.

Max Matton

This year's not only more complex because of COVID-19, but also because the Percé peer is under construction and therefore the boats leave from a nearby town (just 10 min drive) It's confusing to me what the difference is between the various cruise companies; it didn't seem to matter who you bought your tickets from; everyone ended up on the same boat. If you're very worried about COVID-19, you might not like this set up. The boat we were in was fully packed. The staff makes sure everyone sanitized their hands while boarding and asks that everyone keep their mask on. I saw someone take theirs off during the trip and the staff didn't say anything, but I think the adult customer is more at fault there than the staff who should have to babysit adults. The fact that the boat couldn't leave from Percé means a longer boat ride. The waves were definitely unforgiving for anyone who tends to get sea sick when we went. If you think you might be seas sick, bring bags or ask the staff for one before the boat leaves the dock. They handed out bags after they started noticing people getting sick in their own bags. We did the tour of the Bonaventure Island. I think the other cruises are not currently running but will return once the Percé dock is re-opened, but please confirm with the ticket office. Expect that you may need to pay another $5 for parking. Make sure you have cash for this. The cruise around the island was nice. Don't expect commentary from the staff as you go around. If you don't plan on getting off on the island to hike, then enjoy the view of the northern gannet colony. It's quite a site. If you want to get off on the island (and weather permits), keep in mind this is a provincial park and as such you need to purchase a daily pass to gain access on the sepaq. I recommend doing this in advance on the sepaq website. You'll be happy to avoid having to line up once you arrive on the island. The northern gannet colony is even more impressive from the island (the smell, not so much though).

Élian Gadbois-Roy

(Translated) The crew is super nice on the boats and the guided tour is quite detailed. Since the season has just started, there are not constantly two boats running (that of the boatmen and that of Julien Cloutier), so we had to wait about 45 mins since the boat was full. Fortunately, they came back to get us. Thanks to the Boatmen of Percé! (Original) L'équipage est super sympatique sur le bateaux et le tour guidé assez détaillé. Vu que la saison vient de débuter, il n'y a pas constamment deux bateaux en marche (celui des bateliers et celui de Julien Cloutier), alors nous avons dû attendre environs 45 mins puisque le bateaux était plein. Heureusement, ils sont revenus nous chercher. Merci aux Bateliers de Percé!

(Translated) With my girlfriend, we took the pier boatman to go to Bonaventure Island. We were not very happy with the service: - No indication on the site that the boats are not leaving a breakthrough this year ... - when we arrived at the parking lot, a rather unfriendly person asked us "did you not see the sign ??" Because you have to pay when entering the parking lot but the only indication provided is that the parking costs $ 10 ... Nothing specifies that you have to pay before parking !! - the price remains the same although the cruises around the island have been canceled and it is not indicated on the site either! The 2 stars are valid for the team on board the boat which is at the top! (Original) Avec ma copine nous avons pris les batelier de percé pour aller sur l'île Bonaventure. Nous n'avons pas été très content du service : - Pas d'indication sur le site que les bateaux ne partent pas de percé cette année ... - lors de notre arrivé sur le parking, une personne assez peu aimable nous demande " vous n'avez pas vue le panneau ?? " Car il faut payer lors de l'entrée sur le parking mais la seule indication fourni est que le parking coûte 10$ ... Rien ne specifie qu'il faut payer avant de se garer !! - le prix reste le même alors que les croisières autour de l'île ont été annulées et que ce n'est pas indiqué sur le site non plus ! Les 2 étoiles sont valable pour l'équipe à bord du bateau qui est au top !

And the tour of the rock and the island is good! ______ 2020: Forget about social distancing. Boats and shuttles are at full capacity. You are strung! I would also add that I didn’t really appreciate the way we were made to wait in the sun for several minutes. I wish the crew were more dynamic. Tourists drive for hours to come and live an experience. It would be nice to make it unique. Just with a "welcome aboard!" We are glad to see you! We invite you to look around!

Et le tour du rocher et de l’île est bien! ______ 2020: Oubliez ça la distanciation sociale. Les bateaux et les navettes sont à pleine capacité. Vous êtes cordés! J’ajoute aussi que je n’ai pas vraiment apprécié la manière de nous faire attendre au soleil plusieurs minutes. J’aurai aimé que l’équipage soit plus dynamique.

Worthwhile trip if you like nature and the sea. The boat takes you up close to the Percé Rock and the Bonaventure island. The guide explains in English and French. Went there in July and weather was wonderful. You can get off on the island and wait for the next boat.

Marie-Noël Paquin

(Translated) It is rather expensive, but we liked our experience so much that it did not bother us. Everything related to the Gaspé Peninsula can sometimes seem cliché, but when you really venture there, it becomes larger than life. I had the impression of living a dream while passing in front of the Percé Rock !!! Bonaventure Island is also really grand, it's worth going down there. We saw foxes, the famous gannets and seals that were gilded rind, and visited ancestral homes that have stood the test of time despite the fact that the island is no longer inhabited at all. In addition, the guides really give us lots of interesting explanations. We will definitely be going back. (Original) C'est plutôt dispendieux, mais nous avons tellement aimé notre expérience que ça ne nous a pas dérangés. Tout ce qui a trait à la Gaspésie peut parfois sembler cliché, mais lorsqu'on s'y aventure réellement, ça devient plus grand que nature. J'avais l'impression de vivre un rêve en passant devant le Rocher Percé!!! L'île Bonaventure est vraiment grandiose également, ça vaut la peine d'y descendre. Nous avons vu des renards, les fameux fous de bassan et des phoques qui se faisaient dorer la couenne, et avons visité des maisons ancestrales qui ont traversé le temps malgré que l'île ne soit plus du tout habitée. De plus, les guides nous donnent vraiment beaucoup d'explications intéressantes. C'est sûr que nous y retournerons.

Nice visit of the Percé Rock and the Bonaventure island. Visits in October are very limited. Only 2-3 per day. They were not reachable by phone the previous day so we went there early in the morning to reserve. In the end we still spent a fabulous day. ????⛴

Tiberiu Popa

This review is for the whale watching cruise not for the island trip. In a word, the experience was terrible, we saw very little and half of the passengers got sea sick. The crew could not care less about anything, they were not available for questions or concerns. Worse $80 spent ever. Not worth it. Also there are two companies that sell tickets for these trips, but in gact there is one operator so I will post this review to the other company as well

Kamel Touaimia

(Translated) It's worth it for a detailed view of the coast of Bonaventure Island. And above all it allows to access and visit the island. On the other hand, the sound system on the boat is not very efficient. Difficult to understand the comments of the guide ... (Original) Ça vaut la peine pour une vue en détail des côtes de l'île bonaventure. Et puis surtout ça permet d'y accéder et de visiter l'île. En revanche le système de son sur le bateau n'est pas très performant. Difficile de comprendre les commentaires du guide...

YONG LUO

It’s a shame that there’s an dishonest collector boy of the parking at such beautiful place. And we found we are not the only one who encountered same thing. The boy told us that we had to pay 5 dollars for parking even if we would buy boat tickets after breakfast, but we can get it back when we buy boat tickets. After, we got nothing back even if I showed the parking ticket to the sales lady and the boy. They just told us that “you can keep it”. I never encountered such thing in Canada before.

Maxence Deschamps

Asked for a tour of the percé rock and bonne aventure Island and got sold a 40$ ferry to the island. You also have to pay for parking near the dock where the boats are. Very disappointing. Website still lists the tour for 40$..

(Translated) The crossing costs a certain price but we came out conquered. We were able to observe the Percé rock more closely with some explanations, see whales, seals and approach cliffs full of birds. It was worth it. (Original) La traversée coûte un certain prix mais on en est ressorti conquis. Nous avons pu observé le rocher Percé de plus près avec quelques explications, voir des baleines, de phoques et s'approcher des falaises gorgées d'oiseaux.. Ça valait le coup

Jane Litchfield

So glad we did this. The views of the rock and the island are fabulous and we saw seals from the boat. Highly recommend getting off the boat and hiking across Bonaventure Island. You get right up close to the gannet colonies and see so many more than from the boat (i.e. tens of thousands). We also had much better views of seals from the island, including a couple that were lying on the beach. We took the shortest trail across (Les Colonies) and the longest one back (Chemin du Roy) which had lots of historic sites and is where we had the best seal sightings. Easy hikes. The tourism office told us all the boat tours are the same and the same price. People with tickets for both tour companies were getting on the same boat. Line up early if you want good seats. Only downside: the sound system on the boat was not great and we often couldn't understand/hear the English info. Don't miss this in Perce.

Veronique Verreault

Lack of organization, behind schedule. Super friendly staff, but wouldn’t recommend to do this activity unless you have a whole day to spend.

(Translated) Very beautiful landscape and animator ok ... the problem is the paid parking at $ 10. The lady is so disgusted by the visitors it's not cool at all, I changed my car 3 times. You went to pay for your boat tickets and she comes to complain that you are not in the right place ... there is room everywhere but it has to be changed. In addition, you have to listen to them complain about tourism their impatience is palpable, even for the boat tickets ... it's hut to say that she looks at you and tells you where to go, $ 90 for 2 and no way to get a clear and sympathetic explanation .. the girl in the parking lot should be avoided if possible, the most unpleasant of my stay in gaspe et pierces (Original) Très beau paysage et animateur ok... le problème c'est le stationnement payant à 10$. La dame est tellement écoeuré des visiteurs c'est pas cool du tout , j'ai changé mon auto 3 fois de place . Tu es rendu pour payer tes billets de bateau et elle vient se plaindre que tu es pas au bon endroit ... il y a de la place partout mais faut la changer de place . En plus faut les écouter se plaindre du tourisme leurs impatience est palpable ,même pour les billets de bateau... c'est hutte pour dire qu'elle vous regarde et vous indique où aller ,90$ pour 2 et pas moyen d'avoir une explication claire et sympathique.. la fille du stationnement a éviter si possible ,la plus désagréable de mon séjour à gaspe et perce

Chantale Pageau

(Translated) We found it very dishonest on the part of the Percé boatmen not to have informed us, when purchasing tickets for Bonaventure Island, that they would be unable to dock and allow us to disembark on the island due to strong winds. However, the wind was already strong at the time of the purchase of the tickets, and this for a few hours ... We paid $ 100 to take a boat ride and return to the dock. Then, they offered us a ticket for the next morning but like the vast majority of tourists passing through Percé ... we were not there for more than a day. So it was a wasted $ 100 and no way to get along with them. (Original) Nous avons trouvé fort malhonnête de la part des bateliers de Percé de ne pas nous avoir avisés, au moment de l'achat des billets pour l'île Bonaventure, qu'ils seraient incapables d'accoster et de nous permettre de débarquer sur l'île en raison des forts vents. Pourtant, le vent était déjà fort au moment de l'achat des billets, et ce depuis quelques heures... On a payé 100$ pour faire un tour de bateau et revenir au quai. Ensuite, ils nous ont offert un billet pour le lendemain matin mais comme la très grande majorité des touristes qui passent à Percé... on n'était pas là plus qu'une journée. Ce fut donc un 100$ gaspillé et aucunement moyen de s'entendre avec eux.

(Translated) Cruise with a tour of the pierced rock and Bonaventure Island with the possibility of a stopover on the island. The comments and explanations are clear and detailed. By cons do not nouble that access to the island is extra charge. The price of whale-watching excursions is double that of tadoussac, which is surely normal since there are only 2 companies. (Original) Croisière avec tour du rocher percé et de île de bonaventure avec possibilité d'escale sur l'île. Les commentaires et explications sont claires et détaillées . Par contre noublez pas que l'accès à l'île est payant en sus . Le prix des excursions baleines est le double de tadoussac sûrement normal puisqu'il n'y a que 2 sociétés.

Great excursion although i found having to pay for the car park on top of the ticket was a bit too much. But then everything in Percé is like that.

i bought ticket 35$ to go from percé to ìle bonaventure and to go hiking there , but when i got there they told me i bought only a ride ticket on boat.. i had to pay 20$ more for hiking i was devastated

Definitely a worthwhile trip for the whole family. The basic tour is done in French and English and lasts about 1.5 hours. We saw both sides of the Richer Percé ans went around Bonaventure island. Since we took the last tour (4 p.m.) we didn't get to go for the extra island walking tour. The kids were too tired anyways. The bird sanctuary was impressive and we got to see grey seals, minsk whales and humpback whales. What a treat! Highly recommended but bring your sea legs as it can get a bit rough.

(Translated) Awful customer service !!! We made inquiries to go for a walk on Bonaventure Island. The same day, we will take our tickets for the boat, departure 1:30 p.m., it was around noon. $ 42, no choice to take the cruise, no direct .. they have a monopoly on the market and it's up to the customer to bow. The person at the ticket office told us to show up at the platform 5 minutes before. We arrive on the platform around 1:15 p.m., a lot of people. The boat arrives, people rush up to sit down. And a few meters in front of us, the controller closes the gate and tells us that the boat is full. We come forward and ask that it is the solution. He replied that there was none, it was the last departure and we had to come back the next day at 9am. Only it was our only day there and we had paid our entrance fees to the Sepaq online, as requested by the person at the ticket office. We ask him to find a solution because we had bought all of our tickets, and probably earlier than some of the people who got on. He tells us that there is nothing he can do, that he has warned the ticket offices that too many tickets have been sold, to stop the. He didn't want to hear anything and left us there. We go up to the ticket office, he had phoned 10 minutes before departure to say stop selling. The girl was sorry and tried to find a solution. We were reimbursed for the boat, parking and Sepaq and we still have a very bitter taste of this experience. (Original) Service a la clientèle affreux !!! Nous nous sommes renseigné pour aller marcher sur l'ile bonaventure. Le jour même, nous allons prendre nos billets pour le bateau, départ 13h30, il était environ midi. 42$, pas le choix de prendre la croisière, pas de direct.. ils ont le monopole du marché et c'est au client de s'incliner. La personne de la billetterie nous dit de nous présenter au quai 5 minutes avant. Nous arrivons sur le quai vers 13h15, beaucoup de monde. Le bateau arrive, les gens montent en catastrophe pour s'asseoir. Et quelques mètres devant nous, le contrôleur ferme le portillon et nous dit que le bateau est complet. Nous nous avançons et nous demandons qu'elle est la solution. Il nous répond qu'il n'y en a pas, c'était le dernier départ et il faut revenir le lendemain a 9h. Seulement c'était notre seule journée sur place et nous avions payé nos droits d'entrée de la Sepaq en ligne, comme demandé par la personne de la billetterie. Nous lui demandons de chercher une solution car nous avions acheté tout nos billets, et probablement plus tôt que certaines personnes qui sont montées. Il nous dit qu'il peut rien faire, que il a averti les billetteries que trop de tickets ont été vendu, d'arrêter la. Il n'a rien voulu entendre et nous a laissé la. Nous montons a la billetterie, il avait téléphoné 10mn avant le départ pour dire stop au vente. La fille était désolé et a essayé de chercher une solution. Nous nous sommes fait rembourser bateau, parking et Sepaq et nous gardons un gout très amer de cette expérience.

(Translated) The boat Duval II seemed to want to make a race, the tour was to last 1hour 15 and we left 15 minutes after the other boat Félix Leclerc we exceeded it on the way which I did not understand why and we are 15 minutes before, no time to go to the island bonaventure to see the seals, a passenger is even told by a member of the crew that when you see 1 seal the others are all the same very beautiful answer . I advise you if you do a boat trip to Percé do not take the DUVAL II. August 2014. (Original) Le bateau le Duval II semblait vouloir faire une course, le tour devait durer 1hre 15 et nous sommes parties 15 minutes après l'autre bateau le Félix Leclerc nous l'avons dépassé en chemin ce que je n'ai pas compris pourquoi et nous sommes revenus 15 minutes avant, pas le temps de rallentir a l'ile bonaventure pour bien voir les phoques, une passagère c'est même fait dire par un membre de l'équipage que quand tu vois 1 phoque les autres sont tous pareils très belle réponse. Je vous conseille si vous faites un tour de bateau à Percé ne prenez pas le DUVAL II. Aout 2014.

(Translated) Quite expensive if you just wanted to go to the island, no way not to take the hour cruise. Otherwise, the cruise and the explanations are pretty good. (Original) Assez cher si on voulait simplement aller sur l'île, aucun moyen de ne pas prendre la croisière d'une heure. Autrement, la croisière et les explication sont assez bien.

sedrick tranchemontagne

(Translated) You had the idea of going on a cruise excursion to see the whales, the pierced rock and to go around Bonaventure Island? I strongly advise against it, unless you want to spend $ 100 for a return trip to the island which has only 3 trails open with overloaded boats. I'm ashamed to have spent $ 100 for a scam (no rock, no whale, and even less island tour) !!! (Original) Vous aviez idée d'aller faire une excursion en croisière pour voir les baleines, le rocher percé et faire le tour de l'île bonaventure? Je vous le déconseille fortement, amoin que vous vouliez dépenser 100$ pour un aller retour sur l'île qui n'a que 3 sentiers d'ouvert avec des bateaux surchargés. J'ai honte d'avoir dépenser 100$ pour une arnaque (pas de rocher, pas de baleine, et encore moin de tour d'île)!!!

(Translated) $ 38 / person for the 1h30 cruise around the Percé Rock to go to Bonaventure Island .. $ 10 parking (a great pity considering the price of the cruise to charge the parking) and $ 8.75 to pay once on the island to go for a hike. It's a small budget, but it's worth it. The crew is really very professional and very kind, and the person who gave us the explanations about the Rock .. was great! Always smile, we feel that she loves what she does ???? (Original) 38$/personne pour la croisière d’1h30 autour du Rocher Percé pour aller sur l’Ile Bonaventure .. 10$ de parking (bien dommage au vu du prix de la croisière de faire payer le parking) et 8.75$ à régler une fois sur l’Ile pour aller faire une randonnée. Cela fait un petit budget, mais ça en vaut le coup. L’équipage est vraiment très professionnel et très gentil, et la personne qui nous a donné les explications concernant le Rocher .. était formidable ! Toujours le sourire, on sent qu’elle aime ce qu’elle fait ????

(Translated) Despite a small technical glitch (one of their boats broke down, which delayed our departure by an hour), it was very good. The boat makes a detour via the Percé rock, then goes all over Bonaventure Island before landing on the island for the hikes. Other routes are possible. A guide gives us lots of details about the rock, the fauna, the birds, the island, etc. Very interesting. (Original) Malgré un petit pépin technique (un de leurs bateaux a eu une panne, ce qui a retardé notre départ d’une heure), c’était très bien. Le bateau fait un crochet par le rocher Percé, puis va faire le tout de l’île Bonaventure avant de nous débarquer sur l’île pour les randonnées. D’autres trajets sont possibles. Une guide nous donne plein de détails sur le rocher, la faune, les oiseaux, l’île, etc. Très intéressant.

(Translated) Bad organization and especially not the place that respects the rules for the covid. I suggest you avoid it if you don't want to put yourself at risk. In fact, they fill the bus with tourists who don’t put on their masks. There is not two meters distance. It was terrible. Not to mention that their instructions are never clear. If you ever want to do business with this company anyway, I suggest you arrive 20 minutes before the time they say because their bus schedules are unpredictable. Also, I think it's better to just take the car and pay the $ 5 directly at the port of Anse-de-Beaufils to avoid an unpleasant experience. Very poor organization ... also not at all covid proof. They put you on a bus filled with people, no respect for social distancing rules. Also, they don’t require people to wear their mask inside the bus. I’m horrified! Not to mention that their instructions were never clear, they told us that the bus was leaving at 1:00 p.m when in reality it leaves 20 minutes earlier. Then they made us wait for the next one because “we missed our bus.” If uds desean hacer esta actividad, it is preferable to go directly to the street of the cove where the street of bon fils is there from ahí buscar a barco that los anchors to the parque of Sepaq. (Original) Mauvaise organisation et surtout pas la place qui respecte les règles pour le covid. Je vous suggère d’éviter si vous ne voulez pas vous mettre à risque. En réalité, ils remplissent l’autobus de touristes qui ne mettent pas leurs masques. Il n’y a pas 2 mètres de distance. C’était terrible. Sans mentionner que leurs instructions sont jamais claires. Si jamais vous voulez quand même faire affaire avec cette compagnie, je vous suggère d’arriver 20 minutes avant l’heure qu’ils disent car c’est imprévisible leurs horaires d’autobus. Aussi, je pense que c’est mieux simplement prendre la voiture et payer le 5$ directement au port de l’anse-de-Beaufils pour vous éviter une expérience désagréable. Very poor organization... also not at all covid proof. They put you on a bus filled with people, no respect for social distancing rules.

Fanny Bulard

(Translated) Lack of information from the young (who apparently did not choose her summer job well) who sold us the tickets on the spot. At no time did she warn us that the tour of the island to see the cliffs and get closer to the rock was canceled. I didn't ask myself a question since we paid the full price: $ 40. An excessive price for making a simple crossing without much interest. According to the website, the direct trip is supposed to cost $ 35 ... grab $ 5 per passenger, without restricting the number of tourists on the island ... how to make money on the backs of tourists. .. (Original) Manque d'informations de la part de la jeune (qui n'a pas bien choisi son job d'été apparemment) qui nous a vendu les billets sur place. À aucun moment elle nous a prévenu que le tour de l'île pour voir les falaises et se rapprocher du rocher était annulé. Je ne me suis pas posée de question puisque l'on a payé le prix fort: 40$. Un prix abusif pour faire une simple traversée sans grand intérêt. D'après le site internet, le trajet direct est censé couté 35$...grapiller 5$ par passager, sans restreindre le nombre de touristes sur l'ile...comment se faire de l'argent sur le dos des touristes...

Madeleine Légaré

(Translated) We would have appreciated being able to go to the outer deck to better see the scenery.The tour lasts about 1h10. The captain can alternate so that the access is accessible to people inside, if only 15/20 min in small groups! It is a suggestion for the return trip to Bonaventure Island. (Original) On aurait apprécié pouvoir aller au pont extérieur pour mieux voir le décor.Le tour dure environ 1h10. Le capitaine peut alterner pour que l'accès soit accessible aux gens en dedans, ne serait-ce que 15/20 min par petits groupes! C'est une suggestion pour l'aller/ retour à l'île Bonaventure.
