Whale watches leave from both Baie-Ste-Catherine on the near side of the 
ferry, and Tadoussac on the far side.  You can watch in everything from a 
big tour boat down to a rubber zodiac, wearing foul weather gear.

We took a zodiac whale tour a few summers ago from baie-ste-c, and it was 
really great.  This place is like a cafeteria for whales with the mixing 
fresh water from the fjord and the salt in the estuary, so your chances of 
seeing them are about 100%.  We saw lots of seals, belugas, fin whales and 
a relatively uncommon blue whale, all close enough to hear them breathe.
