Coastal highways along the Saguenay Fjord, scenic mountain routes, gourmet trails, and more make Québec the perfect mix of adventure, wildlife, and culinary delights.

From the apple orchards of Montérégie to the emerald waters of the St. Lawrence River and the forested peaks of the Laurentians, Québec rewards food lovers, whale watchers, and outdoor enthusiasts who travel in Canada’s largest province. Plus, U.S. dollars go further here—the only hard part is deciding what adventure suits you best.

The Whales and Wonders Trail winds through Québec’s most spectacular waterways, where the towering cliffs of the Saguenay Fjord in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region meet the vast St. Lawrence River. Along the way, visitors can see majestic whales, explore glacier-carved landscapes, and experience the region’s rich cultural heritage. You can also hike through protected national parks, savor food and wine on Charlevoix’s Flavour Trail, and meet the local producers.

Western Québec is an unparalleled outdoor escape with heart-pounding adventure and tranquil wilderness. Explore the verdant rounded peaks of the Laurentians, take a dip in the thermal pools of the Outaouais, and unwind in Lanaudière-Mauricie’s secluded forest retreats. Gaze at the views from pathways constructed among the treetops and observation towers, and find great offers on activities and vacation packages.

A delightful gastronomic adventure can span Montréal’s vibrant food scene, the rolling hills of Montérégie—home to Québec’s first vineyards—and the picturesque Eastern Townships. Escape to a national park for a perfect cycling and picnicking experience. As evening falls, step aboard a dinner cruise on the St. Lawrence River, where local ingredients become gourmet masterpieces against the backdrop of the city’s illuminated skyline.
