Its Whale spotting from afar and not Whale watching.

1.00The Whale watching part by AML Croisiere was disappointing. The description "Whale watching and photo of whale advertised for this package is misleading. It should be Whale spotting. I only saw the fins of the whales for about 5-10 sec from afar 3 times. I expected more, at least being able to see a decent quarter of a whale is okay.

4.00Even if the day is hot, it is windy and chilly on the boat. Most of the whales you see are Fin Whales.
Great whale watching.

5.00It was great that we didn’t have to drive. We got a narration of what we could see between Quebec and the whale watching event. The tour guide was friendly and helpful along with the bus driver. The staff at the excursion were truly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
