When hundreds of thousands of Harp seals come to the islands to give birth on the ice floes every year at the beginning of March, it provides one of the visual wonders of the world. The sight of the young – whitecoats – is unforgettable and will continue to inspire teams and clients for a long time to come. Enjoy the peace of the ice, the silence of winter broken by the singing of the seals and the pups.

The Îles de la Madeleine are located in the beautiful province of Quebec that can be explored on foot, by bike or on the water. With a fascinating history, incentive participants will enjoy extraordinary evenings of music and food. The experience of a lifetime that they will never forget.
