Ride a Zodiac from Tadoussac or Baie-Sainte-Catherine to spot whales, belugas, seals, and fjord cliffs with bilingual naturalists.
“The Zodiac whale watching tour was everything we hoped for. The weather was not that great and the company offered an alternative choice if we felt that it would be too cold or choppy on the water for us. We appreciated that offer but we stuck with the zodiac boat. It was cold and wet but we were prepared for it and enjoyed the experience. We saw many types of whales and the guide was very informative and helpful with identifying them and educating us about them. I would go on this trip again and recommend it to anyone who is interested in t this kind of activity.”
