Rank : 8.2 (average on 5 votes)

Coordinates : 48.140891,-69.711885 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Whales, Bears blacks, Seabirds, Elk, Seals, Marmotte, Beluga, huge river landscapes is special about this place is that it is on the banks of a wide river, the St. Lorenzo offers landscapes and possibilities really unusual for an Italian used to the Po.

Recommended equipment : I went there with 15-85 and 150-500, I used them both. The important thing is to bring something to protect camera and lens from water and moisture.

Best months : I've been there in August and a period it seemed good. In the winter, I do not know, because the climate very hard in those areas, I think the ideal is from spring to late summer.

How to get there : From Montreal, there are about 500 km of roads beautiful and well maintained. Above all free, even the highways. To get to Tadoussac country you take a small ferry from the bay of Santa Caterina, which lasted about 10 minutes and that too free of charge. You can clearly see on Google.

Visits : For the bears I went to Sacre Coeur, 10 minutes from Tadoussac, is a spcie guided safari on a large roof terrace where you can see the bears of the hour "snack" after 18.00. For the whales I took a ride on a "zodiac", a raft of about 20 people from which you can see the whales when they emerge to breathe. These range from 7 o'clock in the evening, I went to 7. There are several companies that are making these "safari whales." Both are paid and well organized.

Notes : The area is full of good quality motel (Bay of St. Catherine, before the ferry) and hotels and bed and breakfast in Tadoussac country. The climate is cool and humid, it is strange for a European deal with a river in Tadoussac I consider to be off twenty Km. There are beaches, sand dunes, seagulls, whales, marmots (!) But you're at the river! The area there are some turrets to spot marine mammals (but at a great distance, telescope required). I have missed the point of view of the beluga in S. Margaret and I could not see any moose unfortunately. There are a lot of other activities and things to see but I stayed a few days in the leg of a tour organized. If you need just ask I will be happy to share what I've learned.
