Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Stroller accessible only on boat (not on zodiac).
For zodiac children under 6 years old are not allowed.
If you are traveling from Québec City or Charlevoix, it is recommended to choose the Baie-Ste-Catherine departure instead of Tadoussac. The experience is identical, as the boat will pick up passengers from both locations.
We recommend that you dress warmly even in summer, as the temperature on the water can get cooler than on land.
Our fleet contains 24 and 60-passenger Zodiacs. The choice of boat will be based on logistical reasons, therefore the size of the boat cannot be guaranteed.
Cruises operate rain or shine unless weather conditions pose a safety risk to passengers. Rest assured, the boat features an enclosed area for your comfort.
To ensure your safety and in accordance with Transport Canada standards, departure times may be adjusted if weather conditions or mechanical issues arise.
Zodiac excursions are not advisable, and even prohibited for certain persons such as young children (under the age of 6), pregnant women, people suffering from articulation, back, or autonomy problems.

5.00We had a great time on the Tadoussac Whale watching tour. We saw many types of whales, seals and birds. Our tour guide was very engaged and informative throughout the tour. The tour left and returned on time, which is always appreciated. I would highly recommend the tour and be sure to give yourself extra time to visit in the Tadoussac area.
That was great, the...

2.00Disappointing boat trip....we saw a few of the belugas in the distance but they just looked like white dots on the river. We did see a Fin whale blow its spout but didn't really see the whale. We saw no other seals, dolphins, etc. Thankfully we paid extra for the upper deck which was not crowded. When going down to the lower deck, it was packed inside. The person talking spoke 75% in French and 25% in English. It was a lot of money for a cold boat ride.
Made to feel unwelcome

3.00We were met at the ticket station by an attendant who refused to help us redeem our reservation for our ticket as we did not speak french. She sent us with very vague directions to another kiosk, it took us quite awhile to find our way as the map she had given us she only put two indiscriminate circles on. We finally got it sorted after much question asking and frustration, only to be told we had to park our car a great distance from the dock, and where we had just come from. Then we were told there was a shuttle, but the shuttle left without us. My husband had to walk quickly a great distance back to the boat. The server on the boat was also short with us as english speakers, snapping more than once at us. This was all for extra money for the VIP service. It could have been a really nice experience with just a little more patience and kindness, but we leave feeling they
Exciting Whale watching trip

4.00It was very cold during the boat ride but we were pre-warned to come prepared with layered clothing & coats. We saw beluga whales & babies in St. Lawrence River, prior to boarding the whale watching boats. It was as an exciting trip and we were able to spot a hump back whale and many dolphins on the at day. We took the three decker boat which gave us a was pretty smooth ride but per pax cost was not cheap.
A Boat Ride with maybe some Whales.

4.00Whale watching is a hit or miss outing, nothing really guaranteed or the distance the sea mammals decide to approach. It’s mainly a boat ride looking for them. The boat is nice, good condition and operated professionally. A guide gives bilingual narrative. A glass-wall raised VIP area is available for those paying more. Dress warm!
Whales, dolphins and seals!

4.00We did see whales, dolphins and seals, it was amazing! The only thing I would change about our excursion is the boat. Yes. There are washrooms, a snackbar and many levels but there were so many people on the boat that when there was a whale sighting, everyone moved to that side of the boat. If you're a short person, you'll have a lot of people in front of you so for that reason alone, I would return to Tadoussac but I would do a tour on the zodiac boat that doesn't hold hundreds of people. I want to see everything. Maybe spending a little more and buying the VIP package would have been a better experience on the bigger boat but I don't think that gave you a 360° view either. The zodiac boat won't be good if you have certain mobility issues but if you don't, it's cheaper and a lot less crowded.
Whales see off Tadoussac!
