Fauneya

The convergence of the St. Lawrence River and the Saguenay Fjord creates a krill-rich feeding ground visited annually by blue whales between June and September. Tadoussac is the main hub, with Zodiac and larger vessel tours regularly encountering blue, fin, minke, and humpback whales, plus belugas resident year-round. A rare opportunity to see blue whales from a temperate, easily accessible North American mainland setting.
