Rare Sighting: Four Sperm Whales Spotted in the St. Lawrence River

It was a truly remarkable sighting in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park last week: not one, not two, not even three, but four sperm whales were spotted in our waters!

This impressive species is typically observed off the coasts of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador. Occasionally, however, some individuals venture into the St. Lawrence, offering marine mammal enthusiasts a spectacle that is as rare as it is unforgettable.

Our expert naturalist guide, Agathe Poitras, shares more about this extraordinary sighting and the presence of these giants of the sea in the St. Lawrence.

This exceptional encounter adds to what has already been a particularly rich whale-watching season. Haven’t experienced a whale watching cruise yet? Now is the perfect time to plan your outing and meet some of the largest marine mammals inhabiting the St. Lawrence.
