Watching a whale surface and blow just metres from the boat is the kind of moment that stays with you for life. The St. Lawrence is one of the world’s premier whale-watching destinations: belugas, minkes, humpbacks and even blue whales frequent its waters, especially around Tadoussac and the Côte-Nord. From May to October, observation cruises, zodiac outings and even sea kayaking offer different levels of thrill, all regulated to protect the marine mammals. It’s a bucket-list experience every Quebecer and visitor should have at least once. Check the addresses in this category and book your meeting with the giants of the river.
