Did you know that when you stay in Québec City, you can both take in the sights of Old Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and set sail on a full-day excursion to see the whales of the St. Lawrence? Here’s how your magical day could unfold.
From Québec City, you have a choice of three different excursions to see the whales in Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park:
Once you’re back in town, end this perfect day on a high note with an evening in Old Québec. See street performers, indulge in a little people-watching at one of the many outdoor terraces, or even attend an event.
Day trips like these are the perfect way to enjoy two fantastic attractions in the same day!
The most common species in the St. Lawrence Estuary are minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales, blue whales, beluga whales, harbour porpoises, and grey seals.
Pro tip: For the best experience, be sure to bring a sweater and a windbreaker as the wind on the St. Lawrence can be chilly.
