Islet Point Hiking Trail at Tadousaac is very beautiful with stunning sunset views. The trail is easy and well maintained along with benches to rest at some points within the trail. It is very famous for whale watching and we saw many humpback whales and a less beluga whales. After watching so many whales show here, we dropped our idea to take a whale’s watching cruise, since it was very expensive and we were satisfied with whale watching from this point.

We also spotted a seal but couldn’t capture it camera. I have attached many humpback whales videos, one video also has a beluga whale and breathing sunset view video as well that we saw.

The trail is mostly bare rock or wooden stairs and walking bridges. Be carefull when it rains, the rocks can be very slippery.
You can walk close to the water at the actual viewing point, which is a look out over the entrance of the fjord. Belugas can be spotted there, but dont expect they come very close. Pay attention to the activity of the...
