Belugas on the Horizon
 
 

Did you know that the St. Lawrence Estuary is home to a very special population of belugas? Since these whales need space and a peaceful environment, several land-based sites have been developed around the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park to enable you to observe them. As a bonus, naturalist guides are on hand to provide you with information about this beluga population and answer all your questions. Find out more about the best places to see belugas from land in Eastern Québec.

The St. Lawrence in the Fall:
The World’s Best Whale Experience!
 

Fall is an ideal time of year to discover the St. Lawrence. Whales are as numerous during this season as they are in the summer and can be seen in the regions of Charlevoix, Côte-Nord, Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie. Many whale-watching packages are available in these regions, such as the excursions offered by Croisières AML in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park aboard a Zodiac or sightseeing boat specifically designed for whale watching. As you travel from Montréal or Québec City to Eastern Québec, take advantage of your road trip to explore unique sites! Find out more here.
