Active Canada: Canoeing Quebec's Rivers & Lakes

After a brief welcome meeting with your CEO, depart for La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve. Upon arrival, settle into your rustic lakeside camp, where you will prepare and pack equipment for tomorrow's departure. In the evening, gather for dinner around the campfire, sharing a memorable first meal together under the open sky.

After breakfast, break down your campsite and get ready for the day ahead. Your CEO will guide you through essential canoeing techniques and safety procedures. In the afternoon, set off on your thrilling 4-day adventure, canoeing across lakes and experiencing the beauty of wild camping along the way.

Wake up surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, starting the day with breakfast by the water before breaking down camp and loading the canoes. Journey deeper into the reserve, moving through quiet waterways framed by forest and open lakes. Along the way, pause for lunch either on a peaceful lakeshore or in the canoe while keeping an eye out for wildlife such as moose standing in the shallows, beavers slipping silently across the water, and bald eagles circling overhead, with the occasional black bear spotted along the shore. Arrive at a new remote lakeside campsite, where evenings are spent cooking by the water, gathering around a campfire, and ending the day stargazing beneath open skies, creating a true backcountry experience in the heart of the wilderness.

After breakfast, breakdown camp and paddle the final stretch, if needed. Then transfer to St-Hippolyte, stopping en route to enjoy a well-earned poutine. Upon arrival, settle into a lakeside hotel to relax and take in the memories from your canoeing venture.

Enjoy breakfast at the inn, followed by a full day at leisure to take advantage of on-site amenities and nearby experiences.

After breakfast at the hotel, journey back to Montreal from Saint-Hippolyte where the tour ends on arrival.
