RAFTING

Our Tremblant white water rafting activity offers Quebec’s most popular white water rafting trip for more than a quarter century. It’s an unbeatable one-day rafting adventure. The river rapids come up fast and furious in a cascade of ledges, drops and waves that are sure to thrill veterans and novices alike.

Our Tremblant white water rafting activity season usually opens in the Harrington Canyon when the spring flood is at its peak. During summer, we raft the challenging Seven Sisters that offer impressive continuous rapids. Our trips descend the best stretches of the river based on the current water levels.

You begin your day with a safety briefing. Once in your boat, an inflatable raft that can accommodate 6 to 9 people, your professional guide will practice basic rafting manoeuvres with you. Before each rapid, he will explain what to do and how to react. One of the Rouge River’s many advantages is having calm pools after each rapid, making the descent fun and diverse. Not only will you be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river but also its many sandy beaches. Between rapids are golden beaches and places for surfing the rafts, swimming, and floating in the current.

The classic Tremblant white water rafting activity includes 2 runs of the best rapids on the river (16 km), either the Harrington Canyon or Seven Sisters.

We provide bilingual guides, expert kayakers, state-of-the-art river equipment including rafts, helmets, high buoyancy life jackets, custom paddles, a wet suit and multi-media presentation of you rafting! This is a full day of rafting, including 2 runs of the rapids, lunch (sandwiches (chicken, ham, tuna, hummus), fruits and juice) and BBQ dinner (steak or salmon with potatoes and salad). Vegetarian option available (Chef's choice). Our amenities at the rafting center, such as the bar, shower, pool, hot tub, volleyball court, and dining room, provide everything you need to rest and recharge from your adventure.

Rafting has been an extremely popular activity at Mont-Tremblant for 20 years. Despite the long drive, our customers have always found the trip worthwhile, and repeatedly tell us it was the best experience of their stay. We're proud to offer this activity even though the distance to get there is the longest.

SPORTYAKING

What’s Sportyaking? It’s a sportyak for 2 people and the ultimate white water sport. It combines the thrills of rafting and the skills of kayaking. It’s perfect for guests who have canoeing and rafting experience and want to take on a new challenge.

We begin our day with a safety briefing. Then, under the supervision of our experienced kayaker guides, you will learn proper paddle techniques for entering and exiting against currents, recovering your own boat in a surf and facing the rapids of the Rouge River at full speed!

You’ll do two thrilling decents of the Rouge River, taking time between rapids to enjoy the scenery and have fun on the calmer sections of the river. A riverside picnic on a beach is part of the fun; sandwiches (chicken, ham, tuna, hummus), fruits and juice.

At the end of the day, you will return to basecamp where you'll have a hearty steak or salmon with potatoes and salad. Vegetarian option available (Chef's choice). Our amenities at the rafting center, such as the bar, shower, pool, hot tub, volleyball court, and dining room, provide everything you need to rest and recharge from your adventure.

We also offer a half day trip which includes just 1 descent of the river.

Additional information :

Not in Mont-Tremblant region: Before moving to the Rouge River we had our start right beside Mont-Tremblant on the Devil’s river in the early 1990’s. Rafting has been popular with visitors to Mont-Tremblant since the late 1990s, with shuttle buses to our Basecamp a few times a week. It is a longstanding popular activity for guests from Tremblant, but our base is NOT not in Tremblant. So if you are rafting with us and leaving from Montreal or Ottawa don’t come to Mont-Tremblant. Follow the directions we send to go straight to our rafting base. If home is Montreal or Toronto or even the USA, consider placing your rafting trip at the end of your visit to Mont-Tremblant as it’s on your way home.

Duration: 4 hours of rafting + lunch + dinner. This is a full day.

Participants will meet at the base camp. Lockers on site to store personal effects.

In low season (May, Jun, Sep, Oct) we may cancel (rarely) if we can’t fill an entire raft. If we don’t have the minimum number of participants, the activity will not be offered.

It is possible to have access to our basecamp site (pool, spa, bars, restaurant), including 2 meals, without participating in our rafting activity. Please contact The Activity Centre directly at 819-681-4848.

For guests who choose to reserve in advance (recommended), directions to meeting points will be provided in your reservation by email. Otherwise, directions will be handed to you when you reserve at The Activity Centre.
