Fall in the Côte-Nord region is a prime whale-watching season. With its colourful landscapes and nutrient-rich waters, the region serves as a special sanctuary for these giants of the sea. On a whale-watching cruise, you could catch a glimpse of blue whales, humpback whales, belugas and other marine mammals that flock to the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. In addition to taking you to the best whale-watching spots, local guides will share their extensive knowledge of these massive creatures with you. Be sure to bring your camera!
