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.

An adventure company specializing in ecotourism and river rafting, H2O Expédition offers a variety of rafting excursions with experienced guides on the Métabetchouane and Mistassibi rivers (7 km downstream each).

Reservations are essential.

For an adventurous stay on the banks of the tumultuous Ottawa River, Wilderness Tours is highly recommended.

With experience, professionalism and concern for safety, the New World guides are eager to share their experience of the Red River.

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).

If you're not afraid to get wet and some adrenaline doesn't hurt you, we laid you a rafting ride on the famous bay of Fundy. Three excursions are offered, ranging from two to four hours depending on the chosen option. Bonus: The rate includes mud-sliding, that is, the slide in the mud, for real.

An adventure at Mont-Sainte-Anne offers a close-up view of two waterfalls at the Jean-Larose Falls (also available in winter). Other circuits are offered in the Vallée Bras-du-Nord in the Quebec City region (three different sites).

Two other locations are also available in Charlevoix (chute à Cimon and canyon de la Grande-Pointe).

For adventure lovers, sports rafting provokes a whole lot of emotions: 9 km of breathtaking descent. Once the excursion is over, you will enjoy the enchanting Jacques-Cartier Excursions site. Many other activities are available on site such as discovery or off-piste riding, canoe and kayak rental, access to a private beach (the beach and watercraft are free with the purchase of an excursion).

The company is well known for its two flagship activities, rafting and dog sledding. The former offers a variety of river-rafting packages, from half-day trips to 24-hour adventure escapades. As for the winter season, it gives way to dog-sledding excursions, again according to the same formulas. Expeditions are also available for 2 or 3 days.
