Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park: Private Whale Watch

Witness blue, fin, and beluga whales in one of the world's premier cetacean sanctuaries where the Saguenay Fjord meets the St. Lawrence. A marine biologist guides your small Zodiac into the heart of the feeding grounds for an unforgettable encounter.

What to expect

Depart Tadoussac and enter the cold, nutrient-rich confluence where beluga pods surface with hypnotic regularity. Your certified naturalist narrates every breach and fluke slap, sharing hydrophone recordings of whale song. The fjord walls rise 300 metres on either side, adding a cinematic backdrop. Dry suits and life vests are provided; expect to be awed, not just entertained.

Good to know

Pre-book directly with AML well in advance — summer departures sell out weeks ahead. Morning sailings offer calmer seas and better light for photography. Allow 3–3.5 hours; confirm your ship's all-aboard time before selecting a departure slot.
