Enjoy a fascinating sea excursion with Essipit Cruises! Glide just above the water surface in a Zodiac to the deepest parts of the river where food is plentiful and where you can observe the majestic whales of the St. Lawrence as they surface to catch their breath. Encounter whales in complete safety and comfort in one of our 12- or 36-passenger Zodiacs expertly piloted by our experienced naturalist captains.
Enjoy this exciting adventure during which every care is taken to disturb the whales as little as possible. Kuei, welcome to Essipit Cruises!
