How to choose
Plan your outing along the Saguenay Fjord near Tadoussac by choosing between independent exploration and a guided tour.

You can choose a self-guided experience with a full-day equipment rental for 17 €, which is unguided gear hire rather than a led excursion. If you prefer structured guidance, the 5-hour excursion costs 89 € and is conducted in English and French. Pick the independent rental if you want complete freedom all day, or choose the 5-hour guided excursion if you want an organised itinerary on the fjord.
