"Aquarium des Iles" Île du Havre Aubert Things to Do Tip by Bwana_Brown

Although it does not look like much from the outside, we found that a look through the Aquarium des Iles was well worth the C$5 each cost of admission! We first of all enjoyed their large outdoor holding tank at the rear where they had a couple of young orphaned seals. It was very enjoyable to watch the curious expressions on their faces and to observe their antics as they swam up to the viewing windows, or from above looking down into the pool. Once they have reached a certain development, they will be released back into the Gulf. Equally impressive were their indoor tanks of fish and crustaceans. It was educational to see what some of the fish in the Gulf waters look like up close and alive. The Atlantic Raven fish is quite an odd looking creature - with its amazing colours and various fern-like appendages! Another great display was their feeding of the lobsters and crabs - by means of a long narrow rod used to bring individual pieces of fish into the range of their mouths and pincers. The aquarium also had an interesting variety of strangely coloured lobster - their blue one was king of the bunch!
