Led by a team of passionate and experienced guides, this company has been established on the banks of the Rouge River for some 40 years. In addition to rafting, the company offers sportyaking (a sport that is a cross between rafting and kayaking) and catarafting (an inflatable boat for one or two people designed for whitewater rafting). The base camp offers an ideal relaxation area for families. The main chalet has been renovated and offers access to a terrace and a relaxation area with spa, pool and hammocks.

There is no better way to discover the Rouge Valley and its sandy shores than by canoe, kayak or paddleboard. There is a 12 km long course available. Note that these are self-guided trips down the river. The duration of the trip may vary depending on the river's flow, the pace and the breaks. To prolong the pleasure, unusual accommodations are available for rent on site, either in a cabana or a shepherd's wagon (a big favorite!). Reservations are recommended for both the excursions and the accommodation.

With experience, professionalism and concern for safety, the New World guides are eager to share their experience of the Red River. Many packages are offered, including the rafting and aerial course combo at Arbraska.

The site also offers lodging in tent-cabins, camping spaces, a pool and spas, as well as a restaurant and two bars (a little extra for colorful cocktails).

This company and its crack team offer activities, packages and multi-activity stays all year round. Some activities can be guided or done independently.

Don't miss out on dog sledding (which can be combined with snowmobiling) and canicross. Can't find what you're looking for? Aventures Plein Air can put together a customized package for you!
