Saguenay Fjord: Private Kayak Expedition at Dawn

Paddle silently through one of the world's deepest fjords at first light, with 300-metre black cliffs plunging into ink-dark water and the real chance of beluga whales surfacing alongside your kayak.

What to expect

Certified bilingual guides outfit you with sea kayaks and dry-suits before launching from a secluded cove near L'Anse-Saint-Jean. The fjord's glassy morning surface mirrors sheer black cliffs and boreal forest in a scene of primordial grandeur. Your guide interprets the geology — this trench is 270 metres deep — and keeps a keen eye for beluga pods and harbour seals. After two hours of paddling, warm up with a fireside hot drink on the shore.

Good to know

No kayaking experience required; guides provide full instruction. Transfer from your pier (approx. 45 min) must be arranged — ask your concierge or book a private car. Half-day tours finish well within typical all-aboard windows; confirm ship schedule. Book 2–3 weeks ahead for private slots.
