Tadoussac is a wonderful place. The landscape is fantastically beautiful. The history of the area is fascinating. The local people are friendly and welcoming. In spite of the large amounts of tourism in the area Parks Canada does a wonderful job of keeping the wilderness preserved and the native flora and fauna intact. Seeing whales and other marine life in an unspoiled wild environment is a truly special and beautiful experience.

Tadoussac has a lovely picturesque bay and of course the famous whale watching boat trips leave from the harbour. The town is very small but there are lovely drives along the Saguenay fjord . I recommend you ask for information at the local Tourist Office and make sure to drive down to the little "anses" along the way on the Saguenay river which give you a beautiful, scenic view. We stayed 2 nights which seemed perfect.

A great place to travel and seek adventure. Visited on July 1st. I stayed for 2 days. You can easily get comfortable and stay here for a week if you want to take your time. If you are in a rush though 2 days is just enough to cover all major attractions. I went there in the pursuit of photographing whales. But found there was much more to it. The place is so peaceful and quiet and has all modern infrastructure. You can undertake various activities like canoeing, hiking and just exploring the place on your car or by renting an e-bike. Must see/do -Whale watching cruise. -Hike to the Islet point and relax by the Saguenay river. You might spot whales from here. -Explore the Saguenay fjord. -Explore the sand dunes. -Also go to the marine interpretation center if you are into that sort of things. It closes at 6pm. Food? - Some good places to eat out at around Baie Tadoussac near hotel tadoussac. Rates might be high. And you may get refused service after 8:30ppm as they mostly close by 9pm. There ain't lot of restaurants so plan accordingly. How I got there? -I live in Ottawa. So from Ottawa I took a via rail to Quebec city. Got Intercar bus from Quebec city to Tadoussac. next morning. Overall it was great trip. Especially if you have your own vehicle you can have more fun!

Everybody was very friendly in the town. We arrived late in evening and most restaurants were closing, but Cafe Boheme put together a quick cold meal for us. SOO much appreciated this kindness. two whale tours with AML. Large boat was fun and good experience. The covered zodiac was amazing. Captain, guide and staff were AMAZING. So knowledgeable and fun. Boat was comfortable, easy to move around in. Saw Humpback and Beluga with 3 day old baby....we might not have known if researcher wasn't onboard. We recommend this HIGHLY... best tour ever.... What a beautiful setting/town. The drive up was amazing as well.

Tadoussac is a lovely place. We went at the end of the season, in October, it was more quiet than usual and we loved that. The place itself is so beautiful and being in the presence of these magnificent marine mammals is very moving. The host at our inn recommended we go to Cap-du-Desir, where we were able to see minke whales from the shore! Even if most restaurants were close, we were able to visit the microbrasserie and had a great tasting of their beer. On one evening, we were lucky to experience the high-end restaurant Chez Mathilde, that offers a wonderful discovery menu of 5 courses. We were lucky to book a boat tour with Tadoussac Autrement and got to see so many humbacks, seals etc. We also went to the Marine Mammal Interpretation Center in town and loved the experience as well, people were passionate about their knowledge and eager to share it. We would go back to Tadoussac anytime!

Beautiful location at juncture of the St. Jean fjord and St. Lawrence river. Good town for walking around. Restaurant options satisfactory...but limited during low season. Good base for exploring the Marine National Park. Location dependent on tourism, so business owners very helpful.
