Thinking about whale cruises differently in the Saguenay-Saint-Laurent Marine Park

Great viewing experience! The big plus is the fact that only 12 people on the boat is really ideal!
Thanks again 🤩

A hydrophone to listen to whales in the Saguenay—St. Lawrence Marine Park

From the River: whale watching in a different way

I recommend this company 10,000%. A great captain Cyril who shares his passion and his knowledge with us in a good mood. Nature spoiled us during our outing. I strongly advise you to live the experience with them.
