Start your morning with a delicious, included breakfast buffet, offering plenty of choices to fuel your day. Enjoy a relaxed morning, then just before noon we depart for one of the highlights of the trip - our guided whale watching cruise.

Tadoussac is world-renowned for its whale watching, thanks to the rich feeding grounds where the Saguenay Fjord meets the St. Lawrence River. As we board at the charming harbour, take a moment to admire the dramatic coastline and deep blue waters that make this region one of Québec's most breathtaking natural treasures.

Once on board, settle in for an exciting narrated cruise, led by expert naturalists who will help you spot the incredible variety of whales that visit these waters - from playful porpoises to majestic humpbacks, and with luck, even the mighty blue whale. An included lunchbox will be served during the cruise, so you can enjoy your meal while taking in the unforgettable scenery and wildlife.

After this remarkable experience, we return to the hotel for a relaxing afternoon. Take a swim in the heated outdoor pool, enjoy quiet time on the hotel's grounds, or simply unwind and reflect on the day's adventures.

This evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure. Dine at the hotel's delightful restaurant or explore one of the charming eateries in the village of Tadoussac - the choice is yours.

Following our visit, you may choose to wander about Tadoussac to explore the village at your own pace or enjoy one of the scenic trails that make Tadoussac so delightful.
