The tour departs from the dock right next to the beach at Perros-Guirec and is reasonably priced. We went in June 2014 so we did not have to book ahead (may need to do so in high season). The tour is about two and a half hours long and they give you a 30 minute excursion on the Ile des Moines, which has a lighthouse and ruined fort as well as some wildlife to see. There are 27 species of nesting birds on the islands and grey seals that are year round inhabitants.

Comfortable modern boats, some trips with English commentary. In high season best to book ahead by telephone, English spoken. Arrive at least 20/30 mins before departure of your trip to ensure a good seat on the boat. Paradise for bird lovers.

We speak only a little French and so booked the French-speaking tour with some trepidation (only English tour is Weds morning), but we didn't miss the English explanations much. The sights spoke for themselves, especially on this 2.5 hr tour that involved the Seven Isles with a stop to walk around on land on the main settled isle for ~45 minutes. We saw resting seals, plenty of assorted seabirds, stunning islands that seem almost untouched, and then the real mind-blowing site which was the gannet colony, which seems topped with snow from afar but is crowded with thousands of gannets, which then fly around the boat like a snowstorm... not to be missed! Our tour was in August which might not be the best season (peak bird breeding is probably in late winter-spring?), but we still felt happy and were lucky with good weather and calm seas. Watch your weather forecast before booking though, and bring layers of clothing because it gets cold -- but get on the top deck of the boat if you can, to see more!

Well worth going on this trip. The boats are very modern and in good condition. We took the 2 hour trip where you don't get off, and that was fine. The boat got very close to the island where we were able to get great photos of the birds, including puffins and seals.

Being on the water is always fun, but the whole trip appeared to be about seeing birds. The man who explained what we saw, did so in French, of which we didn't understand much.Also mind that there are no safety measures for children (should they happen to fall in the water). So keep them very close!

This trip is just wonderful. The seven islands, which are not really seven by the way, are visited with a big boat, but very closely. They make use of the tide to then wonder around the granite coast and show it's peculiarities. The commentary is excellent and the birds are numerous and beautiful. I went with a fairly bad weather, it had stopped raining but was far from being sunny - the animals do not care anyways, so go also of the weather is not amazing, unless you can just postpone it.

Having been on the Cote de Granite Rose for five weeks and waiting for the perfect day to visit the seven islands off the coast of Perros Gueric, we finally left on a beautiful sunny morning. However, being Brittany, it was raining within fifteen minutes of our departure. When we arrived at the first island, the Ile Rouzic, the view of thousands of Fou de Bassans on the island was spectacular. Part of this rocky island was covered wall to wall with these birds, they were sitting and many flying. The other aquatic bird there was the Puffin, at our arrival they were only swimming, we did not see any on the rocks, so be aware to look in the sea for these after you experience the masses of the other flying birds.When you book these trips you have the option of a the boat trip alone or an "escale", a stop and climb on the Ile aux Moines. The walk here is anything but easy, unpaved paths with rocks that climb steeply to the lighthouse, where the views are good but not really anything that you could see from land in places like Tregastel or Ploumanach, which are close by car from Perros Gueric.The boat ride back to Plage Trestarou in Perros Gueric gives one an opportunity to see the "Sentier de Douanes" from the seaside. Again, this is better seen from the landside but there are definitely some interesting aspects here that are unique to the sea view.If you have limited time in the area, do take this trip, but be prepared for an abrupt change in the weather, still well worth it even in the rain.

What a great way to see the huge colony of Gannets nesting on the islands. Also, many other seabirds to be seen. As birdwatchers we were delighted. A sunny morning certainly added to the enjoyment.

Parfait! un des points forts de notre séjour. Très bon bateau et surtout excellents guides, jeunes, passionnés

Superbe balade dans l'archipel des 7 îles, un commentateur efficace précis et décrivant la vie des oiseaux et phoques avec force de détails, compréhensibles par tous y compris les enfants. Une belle leçon avec la nature des côtes sauvages2 heures en toute sécurité , au plus près des roches, pour découvrir la faune locale et exclusive des îles.Allez y, mais surtout pas les yeux fermés ! C'est si beau !Vous avez des jumelles ? Ne les oubliez pas, vous profiterez encore mieux du spectacle de cette réserve naturelle.

Très beau bateau !Equipage extrêmement sympathique, et très professionnels.Les informations données au sujet des oiseaux et de la côte de granit rose sont très intéressantes.La ballade est très jolie, et la petite pause sur l'ile aux moines est charmante. Le retour par la côte de granit rose est unique !!Je ne regrette absolument pas les 21 € d'entrée.Pensez bien à prendre une polaire et un coupe vent ! Même si on ne part pas loin en mer, il y fait vraiment frais (surtout sur le pont supérieur).Belle sortie à tous !!

Personnel à bord très sympathique ! La visite est très agréable avec des explications très intéressantes sur les 7 îles et les oiseaux. Je suis ravie de l avoir fait ! Prix correct

Croisière autour des 7 îles. De bonnes explications sur les animaux présents sur les différentes îles. Vue du bateau de la côte de granit rose. Les explications sont claires et audibles. Les chiens sont acceptés sans problème avec un supplément de 3,50 euros.

En partance pour l'archipel des 7 îles ce jeudi 21 août, nous sommes confiants la météo étant bonne. Quelle cruelle déception de vivre une traversée transis de froid, sur le pont supérieur. La moindre des choses eût été de nous prévenir lors de la réservation par téléphone de nous munir de vêtements très chauds, même en août !

Des commentaires en direct. L'escale sur l'ile aux moines est très agréable. Le retour permet de découvrir la côte sous un jour nouveau.Sortie vraiment sympa.
