We will also look for pelagic birds such as Razorbill, Northern Gannet, Common Eider, jaegers and kittiwakes.

“This tour combined both bird watching and whale watching but was never rushed and we never missed anything. Our guides were very knowledgeable birders and were able to show us a huge variety of local birds and give us fascinating details about them and their habitat. They were also well versed in the whale population and made the boat trips very exciting .. as did the 7 Humpbacks that rose in front of our boat! Amazing ! And, the location was fabulous .. a very beautiful place with great weather. My traveling companions were lovely people .. and the food was terrific !”

“It was an amazing trip. The guides were outstanding and the group was terrific. We had some very skilled birders on the trip as well as one being a biologist so the trip was also very educational. We learned a lot not only about birds but also the flora and fauna of the areas we were visiting. We did see many different birds including many warblers and shorebirds. One of the highlights of course was to see the incredible numbers of snow geese. We had several opportunities to see these magnificent birds from afar in the thousands, close up and in the air. The whalewatching around Tadoussac whether by boat or on land was fantastic. We have never seen so many belugas. We were also fortunate to see a large group of gray seals at sea. All in all a truly great trip.”

“Many aspects of the Quebec in Fall: Birds and Whales tour were a new experience for me as I had never been to Quebec before. We started out in the beautiful historic Quebec City where the birding was pretty good. Then we travelled down the St Lawrence River stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery and of course look for birds. The Fall colours in Quebec are well known in other parts of Canada and I was happy to be visiting and to experience the display. We saw thousands of Greater Snow Geese at Cap-Tourmente. In addition to interesting birds we went whale watching, and enjoyed a ferry ride across the St Lawrence River. This tour was interesting and lots of fun. As always ,the guide did a great job and as a group we experienced Quebec culture and great hospitality. Certainly a very enjoyable tour that I highly recommend.”

“So many of the birds were so far away - only could see them in binoculars. The whales - you occasionally so one of their backs surface, but that was it. Loved the places that we stayed!”
