Saguenay Fjord Guided Shore Excursion: Fjord, Park & Villages

Board a comfortable small-group coach with a bilingual local guide for a curated circuit of Saguenay Fjord National Park, the flood memorial, and the jewel-like villages of Anse-Saint-Jean and Sainte-Rose-du-Nord. The fjord from land and water — nothing left unseen.

What to expect

Your guide meets you dockside and narrates the drive through Chicoutimi past the striking 1996 flood memorial pyramid, before descending to the fjord shoreline at Anse-Saint-Jean — a village of covered bridges, art studios and café terraces. A scenic overlook stop reveals the full sweep of the fjord, then the route winds to Sainte-Rose-du-Nord, consistently rated one of Quebec's most beautiful villages, perched above a tranquil cove. Stories of Innu heritage, logging history and Québécois culture are woven throughout.

Good to know

Book directly via the website or phone well ahead of your port date; English-language groups fill quickly. The full circuit runs approximately 4 hours and returns directly to the La Baie pier. Wear comfortable walking shoes and a light layer — fjord temperatures can be 5–8°C cooler than inland.
