Quick Answer: Saguenay Fjord is jaw-dropping — steep cliffs, beluga whales, and fall colors that look photoshopped.

Saguenay: My Fjord Fantasy

Ship sails up the fjord for hours — best scenery from the water. Docked at La Baie. Took zodiac tour and saw beluga whales feeding right beside us — white ghosts in the dark water. Sainte-Anne church with the incredible painted interior. Poutine with wild mushrooms at a local café.

The Moment That Stays With Me: Standing on the upper deck as we entered the fjord at dawn, mist rising off the water, cliffs turning gold, and a beluga surfaced 20 feet from the ship.

Getting Around Saguenay

Ship tour or local shuttle.

Positively Worded Word of Warning

It's cooler here — bring real jackets even in September.
