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.

Here, we enjoy a fascinating guided tour led by knowledgeable interpreters who bring the world of whales, seals, and other marine life to life. The centre's exhibits are interactive, immersive, and truly captivating - featuring life-size skeletons, hands-on learning displays, and real-time research updates from scientists studying the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park. The centre also offers stunning views overlooking the river, where you may even spot marine wildlife from shore.
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. If you prefer a quieter afternoon, return to the hotel and relax - perhaps by the pool, on the terrace, or in the peaceful gardens.
