Memorable experience on the Tadoussac Whale Watching Tour - We had a great time on the Tadoussac Whale watching tour. We saw many types of whales, seals and birds. Our tour guide was very engaged and informative throughout the tour. The tour left and returned on time, which is always appreciated. I would highly recommend the tour and be sure to give yourself extra time to visit in the Tadoussac area.

Did you say shuttle? - Excursion with an efficient organization, you may or may not get the chance to see the whales On the other hand regarding the return shuttle, for the return do not count on it, we are always there ..

Exciting Whale watching trip - It was very cold during the boat ride but we were pre-warned to come prepared with layered clothing & coats. We saw beluga whales & babies in St. Lawrence River, prior to boarding the whale watching boats. It was as an exciting trip and we were able to spot a hump back whale and many dolphins on the at day. We took the three decker boat which gave us a was pretty smooth ride but per pax cost was not cheap.

A Boat Ride with maybe some Whales. - Whale watching is a hit or miss outing, nothing really guaranteed or the distance the sea mammals decide to approach. It’s mainly a boat ride looking for them. The boat is nice, good condition and operated professionally. A guide gives bilingual narrative. A glass-wall raised VIP area is available for those paying more. Dress warm!

Whales, dolphins and seals! - We did see whales, dolphins and seals, it was amazing! The only thing I would change about our excursion is the boat. Yes. There are washrooms, a snackbar and many levels but there were so many people on the boat that when there was a whale sighting, everyone moved to that side of the boat. If you're a short person, you'll have a lot of people in front of you so for that reason alone, I would return to Tadoussac but I would do a tour on the zodiac boat that doesn't hold hundreds of people. I want to see everything. Maybe spending a little more and buying the VIP package would have been a better experience on the bigger boat but I don't think that gave you a 360° view either. The zodiac boat won't be good if you have certain mobility issues but if you don't, it's cheaper and a lot less crowded.

Whales see off Tadoussac! - Trip was very nice - whales and dolphins seen. Ship neat and safe. Guide competent. Bus back badly organized.

Made to feel unwelcome - We were met at the ticket station by an attendant who refused to help us redeem our reservation for our ticket as we did not speak french. She sent us with very vague directions to another kiosk, it took us quite awhile to find our way as the map she had given us she only put two indiscriminate circles on. We finally got it sorted after much question asking and frustration, only to be told we had to park our car a great distance from the dock, and where we had just come from. Then we were told there was a shuttle, but the shuttle left without us. My husband had to walk quickly a great distance back to the boat. The server on the boat was also short with us as english speakers, snapping more than once at us. This was all for extra money for the VIP service. It could have been a really nice experience with just a little more patience and kindness, but we leave feeling they

Disappointing - Disappointing boat trip....we saw a few of the belugas in the distance but they just looked like white dots on the river. We did see a Fin whale blow its spout but didn't really see the whale. We saw no other seals, dolphins, etc. Thankfully we paid extra for the upper deck which was not crowded. When going down to the lower deck, it was packed inside. The person talking spoke 75% in French and 25% in English. It was a lot of money for a cold boat ride.
