Whale Watching Tour with an Upper Deck Exclusive Access in Tadoussac

Enhance your whale-watching cruise experience by choosing this option, which offers you priority boarding and exclusive access to our observation deck located on the upper level of the AML Grand Fleuve. You will enjoy a 360-degree view from the best vantage point to capture stunning photos or videos of the giants of the sea!

Our naturalist guides regularly comment on sightings from the upper deck, which accommodates a maximum of 30 passengers, giving you the opportunity to interact with them in a more intimate setting.

What to Expect:

• The Location: You can board from the beautiful Charlevoix region or from Tadoussac, the most picturesque village in Quebec, internationally recognized as the best place in the world to observe whales.
• Duration: This whale watching cruise on an observation boat lasts between 3:00 and 3:30, depending on the tides and maritime conditions.
• Professional Guide: All our whale-watching cruises are hosted and commented on by experienced and certified naturalist guides.
• Panoramic View: Enjoy exclusive panoramic 360-degree views from the observation deck on the upper level. You also have access to all other common areas of the boat, including our two fully glazed indoor lounges.
• Memorable Souvenirs: Capture unforgettable photos and create lasting memories with the most majestic creatures on the planet.
• Onboard Amenities: Enjoy our Bistro offering a variety of meals to savor on one of our two fully glazed decks. Our boats are also equipped with complete bathroom facilities.
• Whale Guarantee: Our sighting rate is extremely high. However, as the marine park is a natural environment, sometimes the mammals can be more elusive. No worries, if no sightings are made, you can come aboard for another whale-watching cruise (exclusive access to the upper deck not included).
• Tips and Tricks: If you're driving from Montreal or Quebec City for a day trip, consider departing from Baie-Ste-Catherine to avoid taking the Tadoussac ferry, saving you a few minutes.
