Embark on a thrilling journey at the world’s best whale watching site! Choose between our spacious, specially designed observation boats or an intimate Zodiac experience, all led by expert bilingual naturalist guides. Witness up to 13 whale species in their natural habitat while soaking in breathtaking views of the fjord. Majestic Whales: Our certified bilingual naturalist guides will share fascinating insights about the whale species that frequent the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park. 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 boat tour.
