Meet the whales of the St. Lawrence this fall

In Québec's maritime regions, it's not just the changing colours that make fall so beautiful. September and October, which are outside of peak periods, are the perfect months to catch a glimpse of the 13 species of cetaceans that can be found in the St. Lawrence. Whales are present in large numbers, and their warm breath, expelled from the blowhole, is more visible as the weather cools. It's the ideal time of year to take a whale-watching cruise, an absolute must for anyone who wants to marvel at the flamboyant scenery and incredible displays of these marine mammals.
