Tadoussac Cruises

The village of Les Escoumins in the Manicouagan region is located nearby Tadoussac, approximately a 20-25 minute drive away. This historic village is surrounded by the three tourist areas of Charlevoix, Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean and Manicouagan on the North-Shore. Tadoussac has a long reputation of offering whale-watching cruises as well as numerous cruises in the Saguenay fjord. Tadoussac is in fact one of the first places where tourists boarded boats to go whale-watching.

Hôtel TadoussacTadoussac’s first tourist attraction was a grand hotel located on the Saguenay River near the fjord and the river’s mouth only a few miles from the sea. Many excellent whale-watching areas have developed along the shores of the estuary, where the whales are known to gather. Les Escoumins is one such area offering departures to go dinghy whale-watching cruise, or simply from the shoreline. A well-known place to watch whales from land is Cap-de-Bon-Désir, located in Bergeronnes near Les Escoumins.
