Tadoussac
Due to a several hundred meters high underwater cliff in the area, the seawater is obstructed and rises, bringing various organisms from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to the surface of the St. Lawrence Bay. This results in a rich presence of plankton, fish, and other crustaceans, attracting numerous whales to feed here, earning Tadoussac the reputation of being one of the 'Top 5 Whale Watching Spots in the World'.
Côte-Nord
The Côte-Nord region is also suitable for land-based whale watching. Due to the deep waters near the shore, whales often swim very close to the coast, allowing visitors to watch them from the shore. Additionally, land-based whale watching can be combined with activities such as hiking and picnicking, making it even more enjoyable.
Blanc-Sablon
The route from Tadoussac to Blanc-Sablon is a famous whale-watching route, marked by blue signs with white whales. Along the way, there are many high-quality whale-watching spots.
Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park
Thanks to its excellent ecological environment, Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park is an ideal spot for whale watching. Every summer, large groups of whales travel thousands of miles to feed here, accompanied by seabirds and seals, turning the park into a vast natural playground. Visitors looking to watch whales should consider coming to Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park to encounter these miracles of life amidst the picturesque scenery.
