Whale Watching

For a truly unforgettable experience, do not miss the rare opportunity to catch a whale in action! Tadoussac Bay is known worldwide for the opportunity it provides visitors to see real-life minke, humpback, fin, blue, and beluga whales with their own eyes.

During a three-hour tour, it’s more than likely that you’ll spot a few of these species. When planning a visit, simply book a boat tour, bring a device such as a cell phone or camera to capture the moment, and consider purchasing binoculars for an even clearer view of the massive creatures. Go with family and friends to share the once-in-a-lifetime moment with those you enjoy spending time with.

Baie de Tadoussac

The Tadoussac Bay, more commonly known as the Baie de Tadoussac, is considered one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It is found at the estuary of the St. Lawrence River and was the point of contact for Jacques Cartier, who would go on to bring French Settlement to the land.

It makes for the perfect trip with the family, where you can spend the evening promenading on the boardwalk along the bay, admiring the view of the ocean, marina, sailboats, and everything else Tadoussac Bay has to offer.

Take a couple of days to truly explore everything this national treasure offers by partaking in activities such as hiking, camping, backpacking, kayaking, booking a cruise tour, fishing, sailing, biking – the list goes on.

Sentier de la Pointe-de-L’Islet Trail

Le Sentier de la Pointe-de-L’Islet Trail is one of the most popular trails in the region and arguably the most scenic! Although the trail is a mere 20-minute walk or 1.3 kilometres, it’s easy to find yourself spending hours at the end of it. The trail offers a breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence River, plus the opportunity to see some whales and even seals!

Plan your visit for the sunrise or sunset to make the walk even more special. Along the way, take a moment to read the informational plaques at the sides of the walkways to learn more about the great town of Tadoussac.

Purchasing an item at the gift shop will not only leave you with a keepsake of your time spent at Tadoussac, but the proceeds will also go towards helping the whales!

Maison des Dunes

The House of Dunes, or La Maison des Dunes in French, is a point in Tadoussac where large sand dunes meet the water. The geological formation of the area was created back during the Ice Age, as a river continued to flow under the ice on the surface. It makes for the perfect area to visit and spend a couple of hours, especially for those looking for low-cost activities; entry to the area is free! La Maison des Dunes is also a good bird-watching location, so don’t forget your binoculars.

You can even walk down the surrounding hiking trails for a quick stop and some more spectacular views of Tadoussac.

HĂ´tel Tadoussac

The Hotel Tadoussac seems to belong to another era. The spectacular copula and many dormer windows lend a somewhat antiquated elegance to this lovely wooden building dressed in a serene blend of scarlet and white.

The first Hotel Tadoussac was built in 1864 by wealthy Montreal and Quebec City citizens. It featured a broad facade of twelve windows and three stories. In 1888, the hotel underwent its first complete renovation. In the autumn of 1941, the aging structure was torn down.
