Observe the American black bear during your stay in Quebec and enjoy an experience you won't soon forget!

Are you fascinated by bears and would you like to see them up close, in complete freedom in their natural environment? Then this black bear-watching tour near Quebec City is for you!

From Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, just a 30-40 minute drive from Quebec City, the guides from Inukshuk Adventure invite you to head off into the forest to a well-placed observation tower to observe the black bear, the smallest of the North American bears. For around 2 hours, you will have the privilege of observing this fascinating animal (if it decides to show up!) without disturbing it, right on the edge of its natural habitat. You will need to be calm and patient to get the chance to see your first bear in Quebec, and why not even a mother and her cubs!

This magnificent species, which is unfortunately threatened, is perfectly capable of climbing trees but is also impressive when it stands upright and walks on its hind legs. You are sure to come away thrilled by this spectacle which you can admire from the top of the observation tower, a vantage point from which you can also spot other animals such as beavers, squirrels, deer, birds, etc.

Black bear watching in Quebec is an exceptional activity that is hard to miss, so don't wait any longer to book your outing with the guides at Aventure Inukshuk in Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, nature and animal lovers who will be delighted to share their knowledge of black bears with you!
