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.

Descent of the Jacques-Cartier in packraft🤩 - I went down the river in a packraft at the end of the summer. And what a great experience it was!!
The landscapes were magnificent. Our guide Alex, super friendly and patient… he was able to put everyone at ease, and we felt safe!
Everything was provided, so we didn't have to bring anything!
I have only good things to say about this adventure, so I recommend it to everyone without any hesitation

Great activity! Wonderful landscapes! - Nice easy descent if you are in even the slightest shape. It took us 3h15 for the 19km descent. The water is high so a little more swirl than usual but less rock so it’s very pleasant. The kayak often fills with water so plan to wear a swimsuit or use the wet suit they offer and rent a waterproof bag if you don't have one!
