Description
Warning: Only people in manual wheelchairs are allowed on board.
In case of emergency: The emergency exit (slide) is accessible without having to use stairs.
Reservations: It is essential to mention your needs when booking your cruise so that the crew can accommodate you properly and safely. For more information about the ships, please refer to their respective information sheets.
The angle of the boarding ramp varies depending on the tides.
It is important to note that most of the time, it is necessary to board the Lachance III boat to access the Vent des Îles boat, which involves several thresholds, as well as a transfer from one ship to another requiring assistance from crew members.
Boarding for both ships takes place at the Parc fluvial - Berthier-sur-Mer, whose listing is linked to this one. The dock at Grosse Île is not included in this assessment. We recommend that you contact Parks Canada to ensure that the dock meets your needs.
