World’s best whale experience

There are several opportunities for anyone wishing to visit and stay in the Québec region where they can enjoy the world's best whale experience. Spend a few days in Montréal, a festive and multicultural metropolis, before heading to historic Québec City.
Then, get yourself a whale-watching cruise and accommodation package in the beautiful regions of Charlevoix and Côte-Nord, with a scenic stop in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean area. And why not take a ferry across the St. Lawrence to Matane, in Gaspésie, from Baie-Comeau, in Côte-Nord, and then follow this same river towards Bas-Saint-Laurent or tour the Gaspésie and discover its vast peninsula? Whatever option you prefer, one thing is certain: you will enjoy a whale experience like you never could have imagined.

The Côte-Nord region epitomizes the definition of a memorable whale experience. The stunning, wild landscape borders a vast protected marine area where up to 13 species of marine mammals, attracted by an abundant food supply, make frequent appearances on the water's surface - much to the delight of thousands of visitors each year, who spot them from the shore or a boat.
Add to that a variety of excursions, activities, accommodations and more, and get ready to discover a region where "spectacular" defines the whales, the scenery and, above all, the experience.

Heading to Charlevoix for a whale-watching experience means immersing yourself in an inspiring region where the green of the valleys merges with the blue of the river to offer unforgettable views. You'll be charmed by a succession of attractive villages, a remarkable terroir, a warm culture, cozy accommodations, and activities for all tastes.
Here, marine mammals abound, and they can be easily observed from the shore, especially at Baie-Sainte-Catherine, where the Saguenay Fjord meets the St. Lawrence River. All of this combines to offer visitors the best whale experience in the world!  

Picture yourself aboard a comfortable Croisières AML cruise ship or a Zodiac offering exceptional views of the vast marine park, where you can observe up to 13 species of marine mammals in a protected natural environment. Safely embark on a zodiac boat, which offers an incredible sensation of closeness to the whales.
And finally, add to it all a relaxing stay in a variety of accommodations according to your preferences, thanks to Vacances Essipit. Here, you will find all you need for an unforgettable whale experience!
