Frequented by 13 different species of whales, from the chubby, perpetually-smiling all-white “threatened Beluga, who stays year round to the world’s largest mammal—the nearly 30-metre blue whale. We witness the whales with a three-hour cruise After whale watching we drive along the “Route du Fjord” that weaves through an imposing mountain panorama and leads to the very shores of the fjord.
