Quebec City Whale Tours

Whale Watching Observation Cruise

Whale Watching

Experience the beauty of whales in their natural habitat with this cruise.

The waterways around the Quebec City area are home to a variety of majestic marine animals, including several species of whales, seals, water fowl, and more. There are several whale tours departing out of Quebec City that provide you with a convenient way to experience the natural beauty of the landscapes while letting you view the wildlife in their natural habitat.

The Bus and Whales Tour is a wonderful way to tour the sights of Quebec City by both land and water. This full day tour starts with a motor coach tour through the Charlevoix region, where you will enjoy spectacular views of breathtaking scenery in comfort and style on the climate-controlled tour bus. The tour then hits the water with your choice of water experiences. You can choose to cruise the St Lawrence River on a premier observation boat, the Grand Fleuve, which features a glass room for optimal viewing, an observation platform, and a covered deck. Or you can experience the beauty and marine life of the St Lawrence on a more intimate level with the 24 passenger Zodiac, a small, inflatable vessel that puts you close to water level for a truly memorable experience with the whales.

The Whale Watching Observation Cruise gives you a complete water experience, taking you on a comprehensive three hour cruise. This cruise offers you gorgeous views of the the Quebec City skyline, and takes you up the waterway to the famous Saguenay Fjord on a comfortable observation boat. Along the way, as you take in the beauty of the changing landscapes, you will enjoy a fully narrated tour giving you a chance to learn more about the region as well as the marine animals you will view along the way. The boat is equipped with underwater cameras as well as observation decks, making it easy to view the animals as they skim the waters surface as well as while they are swimming below the water.

Whether you choose one or both of these tours, the whale watching tours will be the highlight of your Quebec City getaway. Make plans to spend some time on a whale watching tour while you are visiting the area!
