Taidaoshake
Due to the presence of a several hundred meters high cliff on the seafloor in this area, the seawater is lifted upward after encountering an obstruction, carrying various marine organisms from the Atlantic Ocean to the surface of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Therefore, this area is home to abundant plankton, fish, and other crustaceans, which attracts numerous whales for feeding, thus earning the reputation of being one of the "Top 5 whale-watching spots" in the world.
North Shore
Côte-Nord region is also suitable for land-based whale watching. Because the water is still deep near the shore, whales often swim close to the shore, allowing tourists to observe them from the coast. Land-based whale watching can also be combined with activities such as hiking and picnicking, making it even more interesting.
Blanc-Sablon
From Tadoussac to Blanc-Sablon is a famous whale-watching route, marked by blue and white whale signs, with many high-quality whale-watching spots along the way.
Saguenay-Saint Lawrence Marine Park
Thanks to its excellent ecological environment, Saguenay- St. Lawrence Marine Park is an excellent whale-watching spot. Every summer, a large number of whale pods travel thousands of miles to feed, and seabirds and seals also come as expected, turning Saguenay- St. Lawrence Marine Park into a huge natural playground. Visitors who want to watch whales may come to Saguenay- St. Lawrence Marine Park and encounter these wonders of life among the beautiful scenery.
