Consigliata, bella esperienza. Viaggio in bus di circa 3 ore con tappa ad un caseificio , l'autista durante il percorso illustra le cittadine che si attraversano e racconta aneddoti vari, il motoscafo viaggia parecchio occhio al telefono/macchina fotografica. Partenza ore 9 circa da piazza d'armi e ritorno verso le ore 20 quindi giornata piena. Ho visto balene e leoni marini come da programma. Bel tour!

The tour was amazing. We saw several different kinds of whales and a whole mess of seals. We even saw a baby seal sunbathing on a rock. Yves the bus driver was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Julie and Dominic were awesome on the zodiac. The only downfall was it's a long bus ride.

Whale watching was amazing and bus driver was fun and informative - but drive from the city is very long.

Although it was a long day, it was enjoyable. We were fortunate with the weather and it wasn't to rough. We did manage to see a mother whale with her baby, plus several belugas and a seal same along side the boat. We were picked up at our hotel by our coach driver Yves, who was excellent and very informative. Would definitely recommend.

Our whale watching trip turned out great. At first we thought a 3 hour bus ride each way might be a drag but it was anything but. Yves, our tour guide was excellent and filled the time with humor and good information. The rainy weather cleared just as we got to the boat and we ended up with a beautiful day. We saw four kinds of whales as well as grey seals. The comment of the whale spotter on the boat summed up the entire trip - WOW!

The bus driver, Yves, was great - really enjoyed listening to his rapid-fire French and English travelogue on the way to Baie St. Catherine. However ... the zodiac was larger than we expected and it was not an inflatable craft so it didn't appear to be a real zodiac. The rain gear was mostly ineffective. My jacket was not waterproof - water poured into the sleeves - and almost everyone on the boat appeared to be soaked through their lower layers. We could have used boots, too. Finally, the tour was shortened because the captain decided to go ashore early due to high waves. It was cool to see a couple of whales but not really worth all that.

It takes more then 3.5 hours to get to bay St-Catherine almost 8 hours there and back, then you take a boat we took the Zodiac to see the back of the whale from more then 400 meters away. It was a little disappointing for me. My expectation were very high for this cruise and I hoped I would see a little more of the whale. We saw the blue whale which is very special but we saw it from very far for few seconds, I know this is nature and no one can plan anything but on our way back the currents were excellent to see more whales but the crew said that we must go back and couldn't stay a little more although it was good timing to really see whales. It was great hearing the breathing of the whale thought.

It was awesome! Our guide could speak both English and French and gave us useful information. On the boat, almost everything is a bit pricey so prepare some snacks and warm clothes. Watching whales was a great experience I can't ever have back in my hometown. Definitely worth the price!

Sad to report this was not of the quality of Viator tours I have had in the past. First off, the directions for meeting up with the bus were not clear, when I called to clarify, the person on the phone said they were coming and the bus would have whales on it. Well low and behold.... the bus was already there and not a whale picture to be seen. I called again and they said they had been looking for me and finally we connected. The guide/ bus driver was excellent. Once we were ready for the boat ride, another fiasco ... all participants were fielded to one person that called out the number of people needed. It was a push to the front of the line to get on a boat. Not a very welcoming experience. We were taking the zodiac boats. So finally a 2 my granddaughter's_br/_ first trip out of the country comes up and we are the last to fill the boat holding 25. Our seats faced the captain's steering house and to turn around to see the whales was almost impossible. There are 4 seats on those zodiacs that should be taken OUT ..... the two on either side of the captain's area. Those are useless seats and VERY disappointing.

We were lucky with a beautiful day which allowed great views of the scenery and a flat, blue St Lawrence. Belugas, a Minke Whale, Harp and two other species of seal were easily seen. The zodiac was good, the captain knowledgeable and obliging and our bus driver both entertaining and a fund of local knowledge. All in all a great day out

Review by: Leming C, August 2017
Was an excellent experience and had a lot of fun on the zodiac! Would recommend zodiac over the large cruise boat, since it moves around a lot faster and you can get much closer to see the whales also saw seals and dolphins. The ride there and back was very long, so pack some food/snacks. There was a stop on the way there and back at a dairy farm to grab food and for bathroom break. Overall, highly recommend!

Great tour, interesting information. Whales were just amazing!
Review by: Annabelle M, August 2017
Went on this trip with my 19 and 12 year old children. Although there is a lot of traveling to get to the actual place the landscape is beautiful and you really don't get tired of watching out the window in case of a moose or deer becoming visible. The actually trip n the zodiac was fantastic and a really amazing experience in itself as you are surrounded by such beautiful landscapes, but the excitement on the boat when we actually spotted a whale was overwhelming. It was everything I imagined and more we spotted loads of whales and seals and although taking pictures or video is a tricky affair as wild animals tend not to pose it's not impossible with patience. You are given suits for the cold and you might get your face wet but it's a small price for a lifetime experience. The captain definitely knew what he was doing by taking us to different places to watch different whales. The only downside was that we weren't told that lunch had to be in the coach and luckily the driver informed us at our first stop, It wasn't a problem but would have liked to have known before especially with picky children who are not so easy to cater for.
