Plan Ahead
Summer is a popular time to visit the Islands, so it's best to plan in advance to avoid disappointment.

- Accommodation: Opt for a registered establishment with the Corporation de l'Industrie Touristique du Québec (check the registration number).
- Booking policies: Review cancellation policies before making a reservation.
- Activities and restaurants: During peak season (mid-June to mid-September), it is highly recommended to book your activities and restaurants in advance while keeping some flexibility in your schedule for spontaneous opportunities.
Stay Flexible and Communicate
Unexpected changes to your plans? Notify the businesses involved. This allows others to take your spot and helps you avoid unnecessary fees.
Aux Îles, je m'engage
