Itinerary
Meet your guide and small-group (of up to 10 people) at the rafting center base camp 30 minutes prior to your chosen start time to begin your rafting adventure. Once everyone is at the base camp reception area, you will take a shuttle up the river to the starting point (approx 30-55 min. depending on the section of river). After a safety briefing on land, you will then get into your inflatable raft. Your professional guide will practice basic rafting manoeuvres with you and he will explain what to do and how to react before each rapid. Then you will hit the rapids. One of the advantages of the Rouge River is that you will experience calm pools after each rapid, adding diversity to your trip and making the descent fun. As you go down the river, you will enjoy beautiful scenery and sandy beaches. Between rapids, you will have the opportunity to body surf and float in the current. After the river descent (approx 2 hours), you will go back to base camp, where you can take advantage of the pool, hot tub, snack bar, and showers before you head on to your next adventure.

Superb fun, river was high like springtime but in August. Rapids were big and super exciting. Xavier our guide was great fun and really got us into it. Service was exceptional with great, friendly, expert and passionate staff throughout. A great buzz, thanks for the memories x
A wonderful, unforgettable, and wet adventure! The boats are operated by very experienced people who really do everything to ensure we had fun! Even beginners need not be afraid. In hot weather, wetsuits are not necessarily required. Great also the subsequent relaxation in the pool or jacuzzi (outdoor)! Idyllically located in the forest, correspondingly rustic.
Friendly, courteous and professional staff. Very knowledgeable about our excursion and the sights to see. We felt very safe and well provided for. Arianne is a terrific guide!! Matheus is an accomplished orator and Christian the River Guru is a true treasure!
The trip was AAAmazing, our guide was fantastic (funny, safe, skilled), the rapids were the best at a level 4, we had a BLAST!
So glad you had a blast with our guides!
Sporty, adventurous, authentic, well organized, very pro but will deserve more rapids. Indeed the configuration of the river makes it a rafting, I will say, level 4 or 5 max on a scale of 10!
Omg, this was the best rafting ever!! High water after the heavy rains, awesome leader (yeah Felix!!) and very professional company!! Highly recommend! Adventure guaranteed!!!
it´s real white water rafting and not a calm day on a river...! it was a lot of fun but we even felt very safe all the time due to the well experienced guide (Derek) and the 2 Kayaks being around to help.
Arienne was a great guide through the rapids. Lots of fun, lots of thrills & a masterclass on how to do the washing machine perfectly….. max splash, but no flip!!!
Nice staff, good facilities and route. Too much time spent setting up photo opportunities on the river for the photo vendor.
Thanks for letting us know. Will speak to the photographer. Rafting first, social media 17th.
This was our first rafting experience and it went very well with lots of excitement. It was well organized trip with experienced guides / instructors. Rouge river rapids were fantastic and guide gave us all the exposer to the river. I even jumped out of boat and swam over the waves. Fantabulous experience, would do again. Special thanks to our guide Sabastian.
Glad you had fun on our rafting trip. If you come back to Mont-Tremblant maybe try our sportyaking or our full day refting trip.
