Tour was wonderful. Challenging terrain in the deep snow. Bring water. Guide was wonderful. He was very patient with us being the only English speaking couple. Would recommend this to anyone that is in reasonable good shape. The scenery was breathtaking.

Ski in the woods

Mark_C, Feb 2026

Unique Canadian experience

Stephanie_B, Feb 2026

This was such a fun and unique experience. My sister and I are from Texas and really wanted a Canadian experience and this was amazing. It’s quite rigorous so I wouldn’t recommend it for young children or those with mobility issues, but it will show you Canada in a way you won’t experience elsewhere. Also, our guide Levie was incredibly patient, clearly knowledgeable and so much fun!

Levis is the best!

Frances_J, Dec 2025

It was super fun. Levis, our guide, was great, very helpful and patient with the beginners. The park is beautiful--make sure you bring hand and feet warmers!

Unique experience for your trip to QC

Jillian_J, Mar 2025

We had such a great time on this guided hok-skiing tour! Our guide, Levi, was very knowledgeable and kind and the skiing was fun and challenging. Jacques-Cartier National Park was gorgeous and had lots of snow when we went in early March. For the price, you can’t beat this trip. Hot chocolate and food provided was great too!

Hard to describe how...

Marian_G, Dec 2024

Hard to describe how amazing this experience was. Our guide Lorenzo was the most knowledgeable, most generous, most patient person. He truly is awesome. Highly recommend him. Lunch was cozy and delicious.The park was magical and to top it all off it snowed and we felt like we were in a wonderland.

What a fantastic experience!

Hok ski afternoon

rick_k, Feb 2024

Experiencing something new in a beautiful environment was challenging, invigorating, and fun. The other participants seemed equally invested. The guide, Lorenzo, was a patient teacher and good at his job.

Magical

Joe_S, Feb 2024

Lorenzo was wonderful! He went above and beyond in guiding two very nervous senior citizens. Merci beaucoup!

Beautiful tour BUT difficult and athletically demanding

Victoria_K, Mar 2023

Beautiful national park with the most stunning views. Went in March and it was not too cold but there was still lots of snow. Our guide was lovely and informative. However, this activity was much more difficult and demanding than I expected. It is best suited for athletic individuals who are not afraid to fall a few times :)

Lovely experience hok skiing in Jacques Cartier National Park

Monica_C, Dec 2022

We all really enjoyed our experience hoki skiing in the Jacques Cartier National Park! We had good weather, it wasn’t too hot or cold and it wasn’t windy so it was perfect. Our guide was knowledgeable and lunch was lovely as well. You don’t have to be sporty/fit to be able to hok ski as it’s not too hard! Highly recommend!

Great day in the woods!

Roberto P, Jul 2018

Excellent tour in a very scenic and beautiful forest. We had a wonderful time walking thru this snow white landscape. The terrain was fairly level but did had some slight slopes. Very quite and peaceful adventure.

The Best! Vicky was a great tour...

Ronald W, Feb 2018

The Best! Vicky was a great tour guide that provided everything to make our excursion a fun time. She was organized with picking up the food for our free lunch, made homemade hot chocolate for us in the middle of the excursion and helped us every step, slip, climb and fall without missing a beat. She is the best!

This tour was amazing but harder...

Araceli V, Jan 2018

This tour was amazing but harder than we imagined. Our tour guide was very patient and very polite. I would recommend this tour to anyone that wants a good cardio work out and enjoys the outdoors.

Wow wow what a great experience...

Evalee S, Dec 2017

Wow wow what a great experience. Johann pick d us up at our hotel as on time and drove about half an hour to the mountain location. He gave us brief instructions on how to put on the skis. We had experience skiing previously and chose this as it was not the full down hill type of skying. We had loads of fun going through the virgin snow traversing around steps that werent completely covered yet. Johann was very professional helpful and considerate helping with buckles and straps and tc when needed. A great experience but not all that easy when the downhill not too many bits came around. He also took photos and video along the way which we have just received. Thanks Johann.
