Fun Trip!

Some aggressive water but not extreme. The guides are very knowledgeable and fun. Remember to pack snack/lunch and water

Amazing experience!

This company was very experienced and professional. It was our first time rafting and they provided everything we needed and guided us through every step of the way. Bruno was our guide and we felt safe with his expertise and had so much fun!

An unexpected workout but worth the time!

We chose this specific location and activity because we thought it would be more leisurely. Beautiful scenery along the river and we might have enjoyed even more if we didn't have to spend so much time getting the kayaks over the rocks. The water level was a little low for July. Our guides were great and very helpful. While the activity level claims to be low-moderate, you must be in good physical shape as each person has to carry their kayaks several hundred meters down to the river to begin and then again for a shorter distance at the end. All in all, a great if slightly exhausting 4 hours.

Great family fun

Easy parking, easy to find. Great guides and excellent experience for the value of we went in early August and the water was still flowing well. Exceeded expectations. Bring a water and a snack. The outfitters lend out dry bags. I wish had brought the GoPro.

Thanks, Alfred! We’re glad the experience exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the flow in August. Great tip about water and snacks — and next time, definitely bring that GoPro! We’d love to see you again on the river.

Kayaking was so much fun...

Thanks, Kevin! We’re really happy you had such a great time kayaking and enjoyed the views. Our guides will love hearing this. Hope to see you back on the river soon!

Truly a WOW experience!

A well organized, a fast paced, exhilarating adventure in a gorgeous natural setting. The guides managed our single anglophone group easily. However, no technical briefing could prepare us for the amazing time we spent on the river. Wow!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you, Sophie! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the fast-paced adventure and the setting. Our guides will be happy to hear this, and we’re glad the experience lived up to the “wow”! Hope to welcome you back on the river someday.

Kayaking 10k down the Jacques Cartier River?… OUI! 🤗💯🇨🇦

Thank you so much, Liz! We love your energy 😊 We’re thrilled you enjoyed the rapids, the scenery, and the gear—and that it became a lifetime memory. Thanks for the recommendation, and MERCI for paddling with us! 🤗

Fantastic day !

Fantastic day ! Well advised by Alex and Luca to do an individual kayak trip rather than a family raft. Far more exciting and interesting. Many thanks to Luca, our guide, who was very helpful and informative. Would recommend to anyone thinking of doing the trip.
