An essential stage for whale-watchers on a tour of the Gaspésie Peninsula!
My suggestion
Don't miss the colourful youth hostel in Tadoussac, with its festive evenings around the fire!

Tadoussac, a village of just 850 inhabitants is transformed into a tourist attraction during whale-watching season.
My suggestion
To prevent engine noise from disturbing the whales during a whale-watching trip, choose a way to watch whales that is more respectful of these marine mammals by travelling by sea-going canoe: an unparalleled experience during my trip to Canada.

Tadoussac, a small village located on the banks of the Saint Laurence River in Quebec, is famous around the world for its whales!
My suggestion
To make the most of your encounter with the Saint Laurence River whales, why not visit Tadoussac out of season and go in September or October instead? The whales are just as active at that time of year, but it doesn't get as crowded with people!
If you are taking off for Canada, and especially for Quebec, we can help you plan so you can travel eco-responsibly! Because Quebec has its own eco-tourism label: Aventure Écotourisme Québec. You can trust them... but still keep your eyes open!
