Important information

When should I reserve?

Reservations can be made a few days in advance. It is however difficult to reserve the day of the activity.

Can anyone do this activity?

Yes, kayaking is ideal for beginners as it is easier to maneuver than a canoe. As these are double kayaks, children can be paired with an adult.

Does a guide accompany us during this activity?

Yes, a park warden–naturalist will accompany you the entire time and teach you about this unique bird.

How should we be dressed?

Consult our /What to wear information page.

Highlights

More information

Our Parc Mont Tremblant Kayaking activity is made for nature lovers and is one of many things to do in Mont Tremblant National Park! Enjoy a unique experience: a morning spent sea-kayaking on a large lake, accompanied by our park warden–naturalist, observing and helping to gather data on this unique water fowl with its singular cries.

Our guide will give you basic instruction on how to manoeuvre a sea kayak. You will then move towards the loon’s habitat, where you will be able to get within a safe distance to the birds and observe their behaviour.

During our Kayaking with the Loons activity, our guide will teach you about this unique bird and you will contribute to the study of the conservation of our National Park’s ecology.

There are several canoeing/kayaking activities offered in the area, see our comparison table.
