Description

Our Rafting Rouge River Mont Tremblant 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.

We begin our day with a safety briefing. Once in our boat (an inflatable raft that can accommodate 6 to 9 people) our 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.

This is a half-day of rafting including 1 run of the rapids.

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED – PLACES LIMITED

FAQ

When should I reserve?

A day in advance is sufficient. We have many rafts available but we need to know in advance how many people will use the transport we provide.

Do I need a wetsuit?

Early in the season it is necessary although once the summer has begun, the water is warm enough to wear only bathing suits with a windbreaker and/or fleece. For the family rafting, it is included during the whole season, for the classic, express, sportyak and kayak, it is included only until May 31. You can rent wetsuits for $15. You will need a photo ID to do so. Consult our What to wear information page.

When is the lunch served, and what is for lunch?

The Lunch (included in the family rafting and full days) is served after the first descent on the river (only 1 descent with the family rafting). It’s a good idea to have a snack before leaving for the trip. It is a simple lunch with a variety of sandwiches served with vegetables and juice. Dinner (included in the full days) is served after the 2nd decent on the river. On the menu, steak or salmon, served with salad, vegetables and rice or potatoes. For those with allergies or for vegetarians, please specify upon reservation and we will be able to accommodate your requests.

Where do I leave my things?

If you have taken the option with transport, you will be leaving your belongings on the locked bus.
If you have taken the option without transport, you may leave your bags in your car. You may leave your keys with the receptionist.

If I drive myself is there free parking and will they bring me back to my car?

Yes there is free parking at base camp. The rafting trip starts from base camp and heads upstream via bus. We return to base camp via the river.

Will I get wet or fall in?

Probably. Before getting on the water, those who want a rougher ride will be put in a different raft from those who want an easier ride. Even if you do not end up in the river, waves often wash over the entire raft. It’s all part of the fun.

How should I dress and what to bring?

Consult our What to wear information page.

Comments: Julian our rafting guide was amazing. Loved the trip. Only complaint was the van they picked us up in at Tremblant was VERY dirty. I would expect some sort of standard of cleanliness for something that Tremblant recommends. Driver Sam was great though.

Management Response:

Glad you enjoyed our rafting. Yes, rafting transportation is traditionally "campy". Self-driving has become more and more popular over the years as guests prefer their own vehicles, airconditioning, music, etc... We provide good driving directions as well as google map links to make driving yourself really easy.

Comments: The duration of the ride from the Tremblant village to the rafting side (1.5 hours) each way was too long. It defeats the purpose of book a vacation at Mont Tremblant. The change in the site location was announced to me after the activity had been booked. The exended travel time results in less time spent in Tremblant

Management Response:

Hi, and thanks for your feedback.

The drive to our rafting centre, if you follow our driving directions, is 1h15 from Mont-Tremblant. It is equally 1h15 from Montreal and from Ottawa. We provide driving directions from virtually anywhere you may be staying. This is the only activity that we offer OUTSIDE of our region...but we do so because it is well worth the trip to experience one of the top 10 rafting rivers on the continent.

We have one section of the river that is only 45 minutes away, that we use for our family rafting trip, but because of Covid, we recently lost our river access for this season. We expect to have it back after the pandemic. This happened after you had reserved and we tried to let everyone affected know before they arrived.
