Whale Watching Boat Tour in Tadoussac
Meet the giants of the sea
Encounter Whales in the World's Best Observation Site aboard our specially designed boats to admire marine mammals at the heart of the world's best whale-watching site. Our naturalist guides will teach you everything you have ever wanted to know about these giants of the sea.
During this excursion in the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park, you will have the chance to see up to 13 species, including minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales, porpoises, harbor seals, and belugas. Who knows, you might even spot a blue whale, the largest animal on the planet!
What to Expect:
- The Site: You can board from the beautiful Charlevoix region or from Tadoussac, Quebec's most beautiful village, internationally recognized as the best place in the world for whale watching.
- 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 narrated by experienced and certified naturalist guides.
- Panoramic View: Enjoy the exterior decks specially designed for marine mammal observation or the comfort of our fully glazed interior rooms with a 180-degree panoramic view.
- Memorable Moments: You will have the opportunity to take photos and create unforgettable 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 restrooms.
- Whale Guarantee: Our observation rate is exceptionally high. However, in the natural environment of the marine park, mammals can sometimes be elusive. No worries, if no sightings are made, we will welcome you back for a free whale-watching cruise.
- Tips and Tricks: If you're driving from Montreal or Quebec City for just one day, choose the departure from Baie-Ste-Catherine to save time by avoiding the Tadoussac ferry, which will save you a few minutes.
