About this tour
The meeting of the Saguenay fjord and the St. Lawrence estuary at Tadoussac creates one of the best places in eastern Canada to see whales. Minke, fin, humpback and belugas may be spotted.
The scenery along the Charlevoix coast is a highlight on its own. Because it is a long day, we recommend it for travellers who really want to see whales.
