From Quebec City, a Full-Day Whale-Watching Cruise

How to Prepare

Take a break from Quebec City’s bustle and embark on a thrilling water journey. This all-day whale-watching trip starts with a pickup from a number of lodging locations in Quebec City and ends with a meeting of the tour group and the guide at Place D’Armes. Take a luxurious motorcoach along the Saint Lawrence River to the town of Baie-Sainte-Catherine, which is frequently cited as the gateway to the most breathtaking whale-watching location on earth.
Once there, choose between a much smaller, swifter zodiac or the three-level AML Grand Fleuve viewing boat for your whale-watching excursion (option chosen at checkout). The AML Grand Fleuve is regarded as Canada’s top surveillance vessel. The boat offers extraordinary visibility thanks to its numerous terraces, viewing platform, and glassed-in panoramic decks. For shade and weather protection from the sun, the top deck is covered. Even a bistro and gift store are present. In contrast, the Zodiac offers a much closer encounter with the whales and other aquatic life of the St. Lawrence River. It’s quicker and smaller, making it a more personal nature outing.
Both boats leave from the Saguenay-Saint Lawrence Marine Park’s central location on the Saint Lawrence River’s north shore, and their informative and entertaining narratives cover the geography, history, and nature of this part of eastern Canada.
After the cruise, there will be a drop-off and a return journey to Quebec City.
