ケベック州: バス送迎付きホエールウォッチングツアー

Great trip, all ran like clockwork with Danielle and Paul, saw lots of minky whales and were lucky with glorious weather so the views were superb. Highly recommend this trip

We just left the dock and we were ready seeing whales. We saw so many Minky whales feeding with mouth opened and a huge pod of beluga whales, what an experience. The tour guide was super nice, it was Tia’s second day of being a guide but she sounded like a pro like she has been doing this for a long time. 10/10 experience. I would so do this tour again.

Whales were great, logistics poor. Pre-ordered lunch box was supposed to be available with time to eat 1 hour beforehand And was not until we sailed. Much more explanation in French than English.

It was a rainy and foggy day, fortunately for us we saw 2 minke whales, some grey seals, and a bunch of birds. The bus ride a long but comfortable. Our tour leader, Eve was fantastic, she was always happy to answer any questions. It turned out to be a pleasant rainy day.

We enjoyed a fantastic boat trip, during which we were able to spot all the whales (except the largest, but that is very rare). We also saw many seals and birds. An experience we will never forget! The tour begins with a 3-hour bus ride through the beautiful province of Quebec, with cute farms and beautiful forests and hills. Note: the cheese shop you stop at is more for a quick break than to buy lunch, because they only sell packaged cheese and no sandwiches or anything like that. Bring your own lunch, especially if you choose the Zodiac. We chose the large boat ourselves, which was very comfortable. You can easily walk around, it is nicely warm inside and there are drinks and tasty pretzels for sale. The Zodiac can be very cold and wet and you are stuck in a chair. Tip: bring a good (whale) binoculars so you can see the animals better. We were surprised that many people who didn't have it with them complained that the whales were so far away.

It was an excellent tour, very confortable ride on the big bus because it is a long trip. We got to see a few whales, no big splashes but those happen by chance. Our tour was excellent, very professional and very knowledgeable of the area and the history. She also did a great job of switching fro French to English. Very well done

We were very disappointed in the organization of the entire cruise experience. We stood on the asphalt for an hour because the boat was late for pick up. It had made a stop before ours so the passengers from the first stop had laid claim to every seat on the boat. As a result, we stood the entire cruise after having stood in wait prior to boarding. We did see a few whales and enjoyed that experience, however we were so exhausted and frustrated to enjoy it as much as we would have hoped. Finally, the staff in the boarding area were unpleasant, curt and communicated very poorly, when they shared information at all. There is much room for improvement!

We booked the Zodiac experience. Arrive 30 min early for bus pick up, bus is on time. We did stop mid way on drive for bathroom and food purchase at grocery store or Subway. Just one bathroom/toilet at the grocery store so we were a very long line! If you can already have your lunch repacked to bring with you that is more efficient. If you bring reusable water bottle there is a fill station inside building at boat departure. Process at boat dock is not very clear. You will be given a lanyard/boat type ID when you get off the bus. First get in line to use bathroom. Eat lunch quickly. Get in line (if Zodiac) for rain bibs and rain coat. You need to bring you waiver paper for this line - guide should have given to you to fill out when you got on the bus. No one tells you where to go or what to do after that. Put the bibs and coat on and go over to the boat dock. They will first ask for larger groups, five, then four, then three. They are seating families first so they are together. Groups of two or singles are then seated. Shore temp was 64 F and sunny, it was cooler on the water. I was comfortable in hiking pants, and a long sleeve shirt under the rain gear. I definitely would have been cold without the rain gear. If it had been cloudy I would have wanted a winter hat and gloves. We saw four types of whales, lots of sightings as well as seals. Boat guide was great. Get rain gear off as quick as possible so you can get back in line for the bathroom before the return ride. No bathroom stop on the way back. The bus did not have WiFi and did not have charging.

Exceptional experience! The easiest way to have the experience from Quebec City. We were able to relax during the ride there and back. The narrative one the boat was both energizing and informative. Merci beaucoup!

Very well organised. Also we were very lucky with the weather and we got to see seals, fin whales and humpbacks (not jumping out of the water though!! That would have been amazing!!)
