Regardless of when you visit, you will enjoy having a vast selection of activities at your fingertips, in any season.

Road Trips

Heading out on Québec’s roads means exploring landscapes that change with the seasons, meeting friendly people and getting to know a unique culture. Discover the mighty St. Lawrence River and its islands, taste local flavors or soak up the province’s history as you travel along spectacular routes. Whether your vehicle of choice is a motorcycle, a car or an RV, plenty of adventures await at every turn on Québec’s roads. And whether your journey takes you along a single road or a themed itinerary of food trails or picturesque landscapes, you may choose to follow a marked route or map of your own. In Quebec, all roads lead to discovery.



Whale Watching

The St. Lawrence is at once a river, estuary and gulf. It’s also one of the longest rivers in the world, stretching across Québec for nearly 2,000 km from east to west. East of Québec City, the river widens and mixes with salt water to create a unique marine environment of distinctive islands, beaches, wildlife, plants, and tides.


Thirteen species of whale are found in the St. Lawrence River, much to the delight of those who come to observe them. With over 150 cruises and excursions of all kinds on a wide variety of watercraft, you can explore the St. Lawrence River from one end to the other. Taking in the scenery while observing marine mammals and birds up close is the perfect way to see Québec.
