7Tadoussac
Tadoussac is the land of the whales. This is the place to go if you want to see Canadian whales. If you decide to come here, book your whale-watching tour in advance because this tiny 900 people village is very popular in the summertime. It is part of the top 50 most beautiful bays in the world and is the oldest settler village in Canada. People come to Tadoussac to see the whales but if you enjoy water sports like kayaking, you will also enjoy this area. If you have a lot of time, you can easily go from the Lac-Saint-Jean area to Tadoussac and then down to Quebec City.
8Anticosti
Anticosti is an island in the Gulf of St Lawrence, near Gaspé. There are only around 300 inhabitants on this island but since it’s a National Park, you wouldn’t want there to be too many people living on this island anyway. This wild island is full of waterfalls, deer, seals, fishing, and caves. There is close to 125 km of trails so if you like hiking and being in nature, this is the place to be. You have to fly to the island, to Port-Menier from either from Montreal or Quebec which makes it even more exciting and exclusive. You can then rent a car to the National Park and start enjoying nature. You can reverse packages or plan your own stay, whatever you prefer.
