FAQ

When Should I reserve?

These are very popular activities. Reservations for weekends and vacations should be made 1 to 2 weeks in advance. For any other time, reservations should be made a few days in advance

For the canoeing. Is the river calm?

There is 1 very small set of rapids at the beginning that can be easily portaged, then current will move you along.

Can I do the self-guided canoe if it is my first time canoeing?

We don’t recommend it if you haven’t paddled a canoe before. Canoes require technique to manoeuvre. These techniques are taught on the guided tour.

Can anyone do the Via Ferrata ?

Yes, as long as you are ready for some moderate physical and balance challenges. If you can climb a ladder you should have no problem.

Is the guide always with us during the Via Ferrata ?

Yes, the guide will do the whole activity with you.

What is the difference between this and the Rouge River self guided trip?

The Diable River is narrower with less sun.
The Diable River is in a wilderness setting, so more chances to see wildlife. You will not be passing chalets and farms.
The Diable River has fewer beaches.
The Diable River has more bugs
The Diable River is further from Tremblant resort.

Comments: Waters were too shallow making it a times dangerous bcs of trees and rocks in the water Especially for beginners

How did your activity affect your overall vacation experience at Tremblant?
Client selected: This activity was OK, but I wouldn't do it again.

Management Response:

Our water levels vary all year in the National Park. And can even vary day to day. We use flat bottomed, plastic, river canoes that are designe to be able to scrape over sand and rock. This is simply part of river canoeing.

For beginner who may be wary of this, we recommend our Guided Canoe Discovery here https://www.tremblantactivities.com/a-tremblant-park-canoe

Comments: There were 4 of us in a canoe (2 adults and 2 young children). I expected both of my children to receive a paddle for the activity, but they only had one broken paddle to share. This impacted their ability to participate and fell like they were involved.

Comments: It would have been better if we had a simple map of the river that we could take with us so we knew where we were during the course of the day.

Comments: The via Ferrata was much more challenging than we had thought. I assumed that since we had kids with us, we were going to be limited to an easy course, but that was not the case! All of us— even the kids— were very happy about that! Our guide was incredibly patient and very friendly, which was definitely appreciated. We also liked that he group was kept small— only seven of us and a guide meant we all felt we were in good hands. We have already recommended this activity to several people planning vacations in the area.
