We drove from Quebec to Baie Sainte Catherine so we could have the early visit. The weather was fine, people at the kiosk, the parking and the boat were friendly. The naturiste entertained us during the whole trip while looking for wales. This was a top 3 bucket list wish for me and my wife and we got way more than we expected… Thanks!

We went on a three hour whale watching tour with AML Croisières out of Tadoussac. We saw many, many whales for an hour and a half. It was exciting! The boat had a lot people on it but we were able to get a great spot along the front edge of the boat on the second level. It was perfect for taking pictures with a long lens (500 mm). Sometimes the whales were so close that the whale’s tail filled the frame of the camera. Excellent adventure. Note: I was not able to understand the English speaking announcer, mostly because she talked so fast and the sound was muffled.

We paid a little more for the VIP opytion. Excellent experience. We were looked after very well and lunch was an impressive selection of local produce and was delicious. We watched 3 humpback whales feeding together which was an incredible sight. A shame that we then did not have enough time to see any belugas in the fjord.
