Board a small expedition vessel with Excursions en Mer for an intimate, naturalist-led voyage through the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Grey seals, harbour seals, gannets, and migrating whales are regular companions on these legendary waters.
What to expect
The skipper and on-board naturalist know every rock, sandbar, and feeding channel in these waters intimately. Expect binoculars, expert commentary, and genuine wildlife encounters — grey seals hauled out on sandbars, gannets diving like arrows, and if timing is right, minke whales breaching in the distance. The vessel is small enough to pivot instantly toward any sighting. Hot drinks are served on cooler mornings.
Good to know
Pre-book directly; departures can sell out days ahead in season. Bring a windproof jacket — even July mornings on the Gulf are fresh. Duration is approximately 2.5 hours, making it easy to combine with a port-side lunch before all-aboard.
