Description

Our guided Canoeing Tremblant National Park, the most important river in our Mont-Tremblant National Park, is the meeting place for canoeists, who will be seduced by the wild landscapes.

During our guided Canoeing Tremblant National Park trip, guided by our naturalist guide from the National Park, “Les Méandres de la Diable” will meander you along 6 km of calm river, in a series of detours to the sandy shores.

While descending the quiet Diable river, be on the lookout for unexpected encounters: great blue heron, kingfisher, beaver, white-tailed deer. Our guide will share his knowledge and observations with you. Our Guided Discovery is a family activity that requires no canoeing experience.

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.

There are several canot/ kayak / paddleboard activities offered in the area, see our comparison table.

Comments: The activity was super fun! My boyfriend has already done the diable river canoeing activity 4 or 5 times, yet this was the first time that the water level was so low when he did it. We were told at the beginning of the activity that the water may be a little low in certain areas, but it was about 60% of the river was lower then normal. I’m a heavier woman so I ended up having to get out very often. Otherwise it was very fun! A lot of nature and animals to see.

Comments: Jeremy our guide was great, explained how the Via Ferrata works and described the area of Mont Tremblant. He was fun to be around and took time to ensure our comfort and safety. The views were spectacular and the challenge pushed me physically and mentally. It was such a memorable experience I will not forget this. I will return in a few weeks when it is not as humid.

Comments: Jean Sebastien was an awesome guide! Super friendly, very professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He catered to our group of Francophones and Anglophones perfectly. He also made us feel safe and secure throughout the entire experience. Give that man a promotion! The Via Ferrata was also a good challenge, with magnificent views! The dinosaur hunt was fun too.
