Itinerary

Your full-day journey begins with pickup from your accommodation before meeting your group at Fontaine de Tourny. Board a coach for a scenic drive along the St. Lawrence River to Baie-Sainte-Catherine, Charlevoix—home to the world’s top whale watching sites. Majestic Whales: Our certified bilingual naturalist guides will share fascinating insights about the 13 whale species that frequent the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park. The best season for sightings is from May to October, so get ready for an unforgettable adventure! Boat or Zodiac Option: Step aboard our state-of-the-art observation boats, designed for maximum comfort and optimal whale watching, or opt for one of our sleek Zodiacs, designed for an immersive experience and minimal environmental impact. Whale Guarantee: Our sighting rate is extremely high, but as the marine park is a natural environment, sometimes mammals can be more elusive. If no sightings are made, we'll offer you another whale watching tour (boat tour only). Relaxing Return: After your cruise, unwind on the motorcoach back to Québec City, soaking in the scenic landscapes along the St. Lawrence River as you reflect on your incredible adventure.
