“We paid a little more for the VIP opytion. Excellent experience. We were looked after very well and lunch was an impressive selection of local produce and was delicious. We watched 3 humpback whales feeding together which was an incredible sight. A shame that we then did not have enough time to see any belugas in the fjord.”

“We had a group of 4 for the VIP experience. The VIP room and service was amazing. The floor to ceiling windows offered great viewing. The seating area was comfortable and the fact the room was temperature controlled was amazing as the weather was windy and 50.”
Half-day Saguenay Fjord National Park backcountry tour from La Baie, with major viewpoints, history stops, and time to stroll L'Anse-Saint-Jean.
“A really good tour with a very informative guide. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars as my back is very sore today due to being bounced around in the bus. Springs need replacing”

“Nous avons eu la chance de voir deux ours, une femelle et un mâle !! Trop cool !”
Tadoussac whale watching and Ferme 5 Étoiles black bear viewing, with bilingual naturalists. Boat or Zodiac options for $144.
“Great, we saw a lot of seals, including a beluga whale and two minke whales. It was a fantastic experience. The guide shared a lot of info and was super friendly. When we were watching the bears, the guide got us really pumped for the bear tour, and he was pretty funny. We got to watch a bear for a long time. It was totally worth it But we could have saved ourselves the visit to the 5-star farm. You can hardly see any animals, some cages are empty.”
Guided ATV quad ride near the Saguenay Fjord, with safety training, small groups, and forest trails plus fjord viewpoint stops.

“Activity was not bad but not the best kayaking”
90-minute behind-the-scenes sled dog kennel tour in Sacré-Coeur near Tadoussac, with husky care, cuddles, and feeding.
“Una activitat molt recomanada si es va per la zona. Els gossos molt macos i el guia ho explica molt bé perquè et fa participar. A més també tenen una zona de granja molt gran on es poden veure molts altres animals.”
Kayak 8 km down the Gouffre River in Baie-Saint-Paul with La Familiale. Self-guided, family-friendly, shuttle and gear included.
“The activity is a great way to explore new landscapes in a different way. It's a fun activity for the whole family. On the other hand, the welcome isn't very pleasant, we made the mistake of saying that our son's vest was too small, we didn't see that it was adjustable, and we were sent away like we were dirty. As for me, my vest was way too big, it bothered me the whole hike. The guy saw it, but he didn't care. And honestly, the vests are in a really bad state, all dirty and smelly.”
Snowmobile through the Saguenay Fjord area with a pro guide, included snowmobile rental and helmet, and viewpoint photo stops from $90.
“Un immense merci a Benjamin pour sa gentillesse et ses explications nous avons passé un super moment”
4-hour zodiac cruise to Bowen Island in UNESCO Howe Sound, spot seals, explore Lighthouse Park, and enjoy coffee, beer, wine or ice cream.
“Megan was a great guide and did well when porpoises showed up near the boat on the way back into Vancouver which meant she needed to slow down until they had passed. Was booked on the 9am tour however since there was not enough people for the tour I was moved to the 1:30pm tour, by the Vancouver Water Adventure tours team the day before.”
