Whale Watching

The maritime regions of Québec are home to some of the best whale-watching sites in the world. Whether you opt for a whale-watching cruise in the comfort of a sightseeing boat or an excursion in a Zodiac or sea kayak, you are guaranteed an exciting experience. Between May and October, up to 13 species of cetaceans are found in the salty waters of the St. Lawrence, including blue whales, the largest animals on the planet, and impressive humpbacks, which swim up into the mouth of the Saguenay Fjord near Tadoussac to feed. In some places you can even watch them from the shore.
