Our zodiacs

Observation of whale in the Fjord of SaguenayOur boats are of the zodiac model the Harfang des Mers 1, 2 and 3, with a rigid or inflatable hull. They are specially designed for whale-watching cruises both in the fjord and out at sea. They can accommodate a dozen passengers of all ages and are certified by the Canadian Coast Guard.

Un orque se montre le dos devant le Harfang des mersOur dinghies have been specially designed to observe whales in the St. Lawrence River and are comfortable under every circumstance. They can accommodate passengers of all ages. Whale-watching excursions are plentiful in Charlevoix and Manicouagan but the Cap-de-Bon-Desir area, along with the head of the Laurentian Canal are areas that are particularly prized by whales. In Les Escoumins, these large marine mammals, such as the Blue Rorqual, the Common Rorqual, and of course, Belugas and smaller rorquals swim right up to the rocky reefs and can be observed from the shore. Visitors can also observe large seal populations. The waters near the shoreline reach depths as impressive as 300 metres which allows whales to swim quite close to the rocky reefs, often within a few dozen metres of them.
