First connection
Confirm the berth or tender landing and the village walking route. Locate any booked whale-watching departure independently; do not assume its boat leaves from the ship tender point.
Return planning
Allow time to return from any wildlife trip and reach the actual ship landing. Weather and boarding can affect boat plans; retain a village alternative when an excursion is cancelled.

Exploring Tadoussac
Simplest approach
Visit the Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre and add the village waterfront or Chauvin trading-post exhibit if open. Choose whale watching as the main alternative with departure, duration and return confirmed in advance.

Practical notes
Accessibility
Check ship boat assistance and village surfaces. Wildlife boats have their own boarding and deck conditions; the interpretation centre may suit a shorter outing.
Weather
Wind and rain can make waterfront stops less comfortable. Use the museum or a shorter local route when conditions deteriorate, and check any boat or road operation before departure. Wind can also affect boat connections; use the ship instructions for the actual call.
