Quebec is blessed with magnificent bodies of water, making it an incredible playground for water sports enthusiasts! Whether you're looking to relax to the rhythm of the waves or enjoy an adrenalin-pumping experience, there's something for everyone!
Here are 5 suggestions for accessible adventures in different regions of the province. Experiences that will give you a lot of fun, bring you closer to Quebec nature and refresh you all summer long!
Kayak tour with Maison du Marais - Sorel-Tracy
Located at the entrance to Lavallière Bay, you can rent the boat of your choice and set off to discover the largest managed marsh in eastern North America! I really enjoyed exploring this wetland on a kayak tour. It allowed me to appreciate a unique environment characterized by water lilies. So it was among water trails surrounded by tall grasses and inhabited by numerous species of birds that I was able to enjoy a beautiful stroll of a few hours in the heart of Montérégie.
Rafting on the Rouge River - Grenville-sur-la-Rouge
As a thrill-seeker, I loved joining the Rafting Nouveau Monde team for a half-day rafting trip. Not only did I find myself in an enchanting setting in the Outaouais region, but I also experienced an adrenalin-filled moment during a thrilling descent punctuated by beautiful viewpoints. My guide was simply excellent, enabling me to make the most of this exciting experience in complete safety.
Canoe-camping on Île aux Fraises - Abitibi-Témiscamingue
What better way to recharge your batteries than to get away from it all? One of the activities I'm most looking forward to when summer rolls around in Quebec is camping. If I can combine the experience with canoeing, even better! So it was on the Île aux Fraises archipelago that I had the pleasure of joining a sporty yet relaxing canoe-camping adventure. It's the perfect place to get away from it all, watch the sun set to the sound of loons, and dine by the fire on your own private island.
Dinner aboard a dock boat on Lake Saint-François - Salaberry-de-Valleyfield
Whale watching cruise on the St. Lawrence River - Essipit
Who hasn't dreamed of seeing whales up close? During my stay on the North Shore, I couldn't pass up the chance to meet these fascinating marine creatures. In Essipit, you can take part in an excursion in an inflatable boat on the St. Lawrence River with the Croisières Essipit team. During this 2-hour trip, I was able to observe several marine animals, including whales and seals. It was an incredible experience that I'll remember for a very long time!
As you can see, there's no shortage of nautical activities in Quebec, and the list could be much longer. I invite you in turn to take advantage of all that Quebec has to offer this summer, from its many lakes, its majestic river and its other stretches of water, each as surprising as the next!
