Very good experience.. Boat left on time, as we paid the additional 29 dollars per person for vip we got to load early, and enjoy the whole trip from inside a cabin, with giant glass windows. Amazing as the wind was very cold even though we went on July 31. The boat got to a whale sighting ground and we saw at least 30 whales and seals.. Was non-stop excitement for about 30 mins, some other boats came into our area.. And the sightings got less.. A very memorable trip, well worth the price and time!
Went whale watching. It was nice I just think they need to work on the speaker system. Maybe more little ones all over vs couple large ones. Especially in the back of the boat near the motor. I also recommend gloves and wind breakers its get cold and windy on the water.
Pathetic waste of time (and money)! After spending a little over 3 hours on the water, we spent less than 10 minutes where the whales actually were! And that too nowhere close - had to see them through binoculars! This whale excursion is a tourist trap, a scam. Dont fall for it. Better to travel to take the time to travel to the other side and drive up to Tadoussac and do the whale trip from there!
Very bad experience, it is not worth it with the money we paid for and the time we spent (headed from Quebec City- 2.5 hours drive until we reached rivire du- loup) . This is an ordinary boat trip and has nothing to do with whale observation. They distribute false brochures to market the trip. In fact, by looking at pictures, we expected to see whales and seals up close and a spectacular scenery but we literary saw nothing. They announced at the begging of the trip that they will stay half an hour in the observation area but they stayed only for 20 minutes and then we went back. It could be a matter of luck that we did not see the whales or seals but what I am trying to say is that they should have mentioned it clearly in advance and not deceive people with misleading information and pictures. Keep in mind that we contacted them by phone before we booked and they assured us that we are in the right season and we are going to see a group of seals and whales. They should not be that confident!
There are 2 things wrong with this tour; one it is too far away from where the whales actually are, so out of the 3.5 hours, 3 hours is just for the commute back and forth to the Marine park area. Second, the boat is too big to be able to get anywhere close to the whales. Our trip was a complete waste of money as well as as precious time. By the time we got to the whales, it was already time up and we had to head back. I would strongly suggest people to spend time and go across the river to the Tadoussac area and take the smaller boats so you get closer to the animals and spend more time actually seeing them, rather than just getting to the place. Do not waste your time and money by taking this tour from Riviere- du-Loup.
