Experience 2 hours of adventure with the whales

Set out on an unforgettable adventure to encounter 13 species of whales and marine mammals, including minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales, porpoises, harbor seals, belugas, and blue whales—the largest animal in the world.

During this incredible 2-hour excursion, our experienced captains will accompany you and share insights about the Saguenay St. Lawrence Marine Park, globally recognized for the quality of its observations.

What to Expect:

  • The Site: Depart from the magnificent Charlevoix region or Tadoussac, the most beautiful village in Quebec, also internationally recognized as the best place in the world to observe whales.
  • Duration: This whale-watching expedition in a Zodiac lasts approximately 2 hours.
  • Professional Captains and Guides: An experienced captain will guide you through this expedition aboard our 24-passenger Zodiacs. Additionally, a certified naturalist guide joins our 60-passenger Zodiacs to comment on the observations and answer your questions.
  • Panoramic View: Enjoy our 24 or 60-passenger Zodiacs, specially designed for marine mammal observation. Sporty and agile, they offer the perfect balance between comfort and adventure.
  • Memorable Souvenirs: You'll have the chance to take photos close to the water and create unforgettable memories with the most majestic creatures on the planet.
  • Onboard Amenities: Take advantage of our complimentary waterproof and windproof suit provided during your cruise to ensure your comfort. Appropriate clothing and closed shoes are highly recommended.
  • Whale Guarantee: Our observation rate is exceedingly high. Since the marine park is a natural environment, sometimes the mammals can be more discreet. No worries, if no sightings are made, you will be invited back on board for another boat cruise at no charge.
  • Tips and Tricks: If you are driving from Montreal or Quebec City for just one day, prioritize departure from Baie-Ste-Catherine to save time due to the ferry to Tadoussac.
