An exceptional nature expedition!

Hop aboard our Zodiacs with our experienced captains for a thrilling and sporty adventure in the heart of the world's best whale-watching site. This expedition in the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you must experience!

You will start by encountering the giants of the sea, including the most frequently observed species such as minke whales, humpback whales, fin whales, harbor porpoises, common seals, and belugas. Your excursion will then take you on a journey into the majestic Saguenay Fjord. 

What to expect:

  • The Location: Embark from the stunning Charlevoix region in the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park, internationally recognized as one of the best places in the world to observe whales.
  • Duration: This whale-watching Zodiac expedition lasts approximately 2.5 hours.
  • Experienced Captains and Guides: A devoted captain will guide you on this expedition aboard our 24-passenger Zodiacs. Additionally, a certified naturalist guide will join you on our 60-passenger Zodiacs to comment on the observations and answer your questions.
  • Panoramic Views: Enjoy the unique perspective from our 24 or 60-passenger Zodiacs, specially designed for marine mammal observation. Sporty and agile, they provide a perfect balance of comfort and adventure.
  • Memorable Moments: Capture unforgettable photos and create lasting memories with some of the planet's most majestic creatures.
  • Onboard Amenities: Benefit from our complimentary waterproof and windproof suits to ensure your comfort. We recommend wearing appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes.
  • Whale Guarantee: Our observation rate is exceptionally high. However, if no whales are spotted, you can return for a future free whale-watching cruise (whale guarantee does not apply to Zodiac tours).
  • Tips: If you are driving from Montreal or Quebec City for a day trip, consider departing from Baie-Ste-Catherine to save time, avoiding the ferry to Tadoussac.
