Description
Fancy a boat trip with friends to see the abundant wildlife in Iroise Marine Nature Park? Yes please! Christel, Lucky and their crew have a fantastic day out planned for you between extraordinary encounters and rugged scenery. Set sail to Molène and its archipelago from Le Conquet: in your rigid inflatable boat, wend your way between the lighthouses… If you’re lucky, you might even be greeted with sightings of the bottlenose dolphins that live along the coast, or glimpse the grey seals lounging on an outcrop! Once in Molène, you’re free to explore at leisure before returning to the mainland in the late afternoon.

How would you best describe your activity/outings?
A timeless change of scene! For time really does stand still during each outing. It feels like you’re in another world, with the impression, at the end of the day, that you’ve been away for an eternity!
In your opinion, in what way is the Iroise Sea an incredible observation site?
It’s the number 1 marine nature park in France: the sustainable development of this fragile yet outstanding site is a priority for us. It is home to the largest concentration of offshore lighthouses in the world, seals, bottlenose dolphins, 120 species of fish and a whole host of protected birds… As a marine guide, it’s only natural for us to want to encourage everyone to appreciate and look after it!
Is there a specific marine experience that has stayed with you?
Witnessing a pregnant bottlenose dolphin give birth to her calves – I was so incredibly lucky! It really was a magical moment.
