Très très bien Notre guide nous a expliqué plein de choses sur le trajet Et on a vue de magnifiques baleines

Un grand merci à Eve, Paul et Léa qui nous ont accompagné tout au long de cette journée magique. Le trajet en bus était certes long mais très confortable, avec les explications de notre guide le temps est passé assez vite. Nous étions un poil à l'étroit sur le zodiac, avec nos combinaisons imperméables en prime le moindre mouvement était compliqué, mais bon c'est normal :) Pour les futurs explorateurs, tâchez à vous habiller bien chaudement (bonnet et gants) car le froid ne pardonne pas. Nous avons eu la chance exceptionnelle de voir plusieurs petits rorquals, un immense rorqual commun, des familles de bélugas et une belle baleine à bosse pour clore le spectacle. J'en ai eu les larmes aux yeux...

Superbe expérience ! Les guides (bus et bateau) étaient dynamiques, très intéressants et au petit soin avec l'ensemble des participants. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un temps magnifique et de pouvoir observer plusieurs mammifères marins, ainsi que de profiter des magnifiques paysages le temps du trajet. Tout au long de l'excursion, les commentaires et anecdotes racontées n'ont fait qu'enjoliver le voyage. Le reste des équipes était également très sympathique et professionnelle. Je recommande vivement !

Nous avons passé une bonne journée avec un guide amical et qui donnait plein d'explications pendant le transport et un bon conducteur dans un bus agréable. pour la partie baleine, le zodiaque était très bien car un groupe assez restreint et une très bonne visibilité au niveau de l'eau là où le bateau classique était surbondé, la guide était très sympathique et très bien renseignée. Nous avons pu voir différentes espèces comme béluga, baleine bleue et des phoques. Petit bémol cependant où nous avons passé énormément de temps pour la même baleine et on aurait préféré en chercher d'autres. C'est un trajet en bus assez long et c'est un tour assez onéreux, l'expérience vaut quand même coup mais c'est à prendre en compte pour quelques minutes seulement à réellement voir des animaux.

As with every nature-focused tour, one is very dependent on the animals themselves. This tour though van almost certainly offer Beluga sightings, which is rather nice. Everything else, in our case a couple of Blue whales and Minky whales really is a bonus. While I can recommend everyone to go on a whale watching tour, I do advise to consider renting your own car as it adds flexibility and might be more cost-competitive when traveling with multiple people.


Highlights

This day trip takes you by bus from Quebec City to Baie-Sainte-Catherine in Charlevoix to look for whales in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park. Skip the drive and enjoy the Charlevoix scenery from an air-conditioned bus on the round trip. When booking, choose between a large boat or a Zodiac that brings you close to the water’s surface. With commentary from a certified naturalist guide, discover waters visited by up to 13 whale species and the scenery of the Saguenay Fjord.


Program

Take the bus from Quebec City
to Charlevoix

Board an air-conditioned bus at Fontaine de Tourny in Quebec City. The ride to Baie-Sainte-Catherine in Charlevoix takes about 3 hours each way, and you can enjoy the Charlevoix scenery along the way.

After arriving in Baie-Sainte-Catherine, there is time for a break. You can bring your own lunch, or buy a pre-made box lunch from the local lunch service after arrival (subject to availability).

 

Look for whales by boat or Zodiac

Set out to watch whales in the way you chose when booking. The boat option is a large vessel with outdoor decks and a glass-enclosed indoor lounge with 180-degree panoramic views, plus indoor and outdoor seating, restrooms, observation platforms, a boutique and a cafeteria. The Zodiac option takes you close to the water’s surface aboard a Zodiac designed for marine mammal watching, and waterproof jackets and pants are provided.

Look for up to 13 whale species in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park. A certified naturalist guide shares stories about the whales and the surrounding area in English and French, and you search for whales together with the captain and crew.

 

Admire the Tadoussac coast and the Saguenay Fjord

Along the way, you pass coastal sights such as the village of Tadoussac, Les Dunes, the Pointe-Noire Interpretation and Observation Centre and Pointe de l'Islet. There is also time for photos near Prince Shoal Light. Take in the views of the Saguenay Fjord, where cliffs rise from the calm water.

 

Return to Quebec City by bus

After whale watching, board the bus again for the roughly 3-hour ride back to Fontaine de Tourny.

※ Wildlife lives in its natural habitat, so sightings are not guaranteed. If you do not see any whales, the operator will offer you another whale watching tour (boat option only).
※ The schedule and order of visits may change depending on local conditions.
