Quebec Safari Tour

Let our experienced travel advisors plan your perfect adventure

When you think “safari,” Quebec may not be the first place that comes to mind, but this tour will change your mind! On this 14-day guided safari tour, you’ll be immersed in the wilderness of eastern Quebec and all the amazing wildlife that call it home.

Arrive in historic Quebec City and explore it via a guided city tour the following morning. Then your group will set off on your eastward journey to Bic National Park. A day of hiking along the shoreline offers expansive views of the broad Saint Lawrence River, with sunbathing seals watching you go. The next three nights are spent in Gaspésie National Park. Summit mountains to search for caribou, then set off on early morning walks through the woods to spot the magnificent moose. Continue even further along the Gaspé Peninsula, reaching the coastal town of Percé. Spend a day on Bonaventure Island just offshore, where thousands of seabirds mingle with the seals. Then it’s just north to Forillon National Park, learning about First Nations communities and embarking on a zodiac boat tour along the shores. Turn back to the west and cross the river on a scenic ferry, reaching the north shore of the Saint Lawrence and the historic trading port of Tadoussac. A fascinating whale-watching expedition awaits – keep your eye out for humpbacks and belugas! Your final day of hiking in the unique Charlevoix region offers mountaintop views and perhaps a sight of the resident black bears. Return to Quebec City for a final evening of fun.

The flora and fauna of Quebec represent Canada’s best, and your expert guide will immerse you in this beautiful environment.
