From Bergeronnes in the St-Lawrence estuary , watch the whales from up close and for a longer period of time,. By zodiac-style boat, cruise in the heart of the trench where the waters are deeper and food is abundant. No wonder even whales prefer Essipit!
You will see small Finback whales but even more special you will see the second largest whale in the world, the Common Finback (around 20 meters long and weighing from 40 to 60 tons). In August, you can see the blue Finback (around 28 meters long and weighing from 100 to 120 tons).
Choosing Essipit cruises also means meeting the Montagnais. Come and discover our history, our traditions, and our modern way of life as First Nations people.
