The place: The floove, obviously! (où bien, sur le fleuve). The goods: This was my second time whale watching and I decided to try T-A. These guys have a covered zodiac with windows that open on both sides of the boat. There are 12 seats in total and in comparison with the other zodiac I was on, they're really comfortable! The zodiac is NOT heated so plan to dress warmly or you will freeze your arse off. For reference, I went on Thanksgiving weekend and wore: lined pants, hiking boots, breathable T-shirt, a light layer, a fleece, a North Face light puffer + a hat and gloves. Note: I don't suggest wearing a wide-legged pant because hey, guess what? That cold floovian air gets right up there! To conclude, listen to your fellow reviewers - dress warmly no matter the season and don't wear flip flops! In terms of whale watching, it was great. Our captain was the famous Simon, who is super friendly and very enthusiastic! In addition to having an apparent love for his job, he's got great taste in music and treated us to a few songs, notably Mrs. Robinson (when I say treat, I mean he bellowed them out from the top of his perch). Obviously, no one can guarantee whale sightings but on the day we went out, we certainly got our money's worth! Loads of seals, belugas, porpoises AND mama whales with their calves. If what Simon said was true, then we got to see the well-known Gaspar, her calf and their escort. Baby was feeling quite frolicky too! It truly was a magical morning! As a photographer, I appreciated that Simon gave us plenty of time to take photos and I think that he may have gone out of his way to chase whales for us - there were four of us with long lenses and he absolutely catered to our "needs." Price point: I think it was $85 + taxes and well worth it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys - unless you plan to book when I'm going and I can't get a spot. Then you should probably book with someone else ;-)

Camping in Quebec takes on a whole new dimension when whales enter the equation. And the best place…read moreto experience this phenomena is at the Mer et Monde Ecotours in Bergeronnes, part of the Quebec Maritime region, just 20 minutes east of Tadoussac , a few hours outside Quebec City. Most visitors come for the professionally guided sea kayaking adventures on the St. Lawrence River where it meets the Atlantic Ocean and the Saguenay Fjord. Baby belugas, curious about the motion of the rudder, will approach the kayaks. For those not interested in braving the 4 degree celsius water (in summer!), currents and winds, camping is the better option. Sites are wooden platforms built onto the rocks overlooking the water so that whale sightings are guaranteed. Minkes, belugas, humpbacks and blues can all be seen - and heard as they regularly emit water through their blowholes. For those who prefer whale watching without paddling a kayak or camping, take a zodiac boat tour with Croisieres AML in nearby Tadoussac, the region's tourist hot spot. Stay at the attractive Hotel Tadoussac, the stand in for the famous "Hotel New Hampshire". Before embarking on your high speed whale chasing cruise, visit the nearby Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre to learn all about the 13 species of marine mammals that inhabit these waters. To further explore the natural history of this glacial region, head to the newly opened Jardin des Glaciers, 200 kilometres east in Baie Comeau. A $10,000,000 state of the art multimedia presentation takes visitors back 20,000 years under the ice in a beautifully converted church, that is now the Glacial Exploration Centre. More active visitors will want to fly along the zipline as it crosses a warm water glacial lake a few kilometres from the Centre.

This is a very clean, nice RV park. The wifi is really good (not 18 MBps like someone else wrote…read morebut more like 4mbps which is still great for free!!!!!). Washrooms clean, sites clean, owners were great. No complaints. Good value for the money and I like that it was close to highway as easy to get to when passing through.

The sites are very big and the WiFi is available everywhere on site and is very fast, too: 13.4 down and 8 up. The pool is quite large, clean and is heated as well. The only downside we could find is that the campsite is located close to the Autoroute 85, but it is not as worse as we experienced elsewhere, but the campground itself is very quiet and there are a lot of trees nearby. Definitely recommended!

I really wanted to LOVR this KOA. However, the bugs made it impossible. Mosquitos left a ton of bites just walking into the office. There were gnats in DROVES all over the campground. They were constantly on me. The pool was great but you needed a key for the hot tub and it looked rusty. Also, the water at the campground went out during the night until about 9:30 am the day we left. Finally, if you want wifi, you'll have to pay . $3 a day for four devices. :(
