Great family activity! My family of 19 celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in Mont Tremblant with family rafting on the Rouge River. The trip was so much fun!

The Roy family had a fantastic time and our guide Sabastian was GREAT!!! He couldnt have been any better with our instructions and it was an experience we are still talking about. It will be on the to do list whenever we get back to the area.

Fantastic experience! This was our first time rafting and it really exceeded our expectations. All the guides were so fun, interactive and friendly. They made us all feel very safe and well looked after during the rapid run. Highly recommend this for anyone with a sense of adventure!!!

Our trip didn’t start out well! On our way the bus from mont tremblant to rafting destination broke down. We missed the start but was able to catch our raft before the first fall. From there we enjoyed every minute of the trip.

We really enjoyed this trip. Even though this is family rated, my teenage son had a blast! We swam in the river for the last 1 km or so, it was exciting and relaxing I would highly recommend.

We had a great time white water rafting, mostly because of our guide, Gilles. The Rouge River in August is not the most exhilarating River, mostly class 2 and 3, but Gilles made a real effort to hit all the rapids and back up into them so we could “surf” on the rapids. He really accommodated our family’s desire to get some thrills without taking it over the top. Really recommend this trip for any families.

My friends and I had an absolute blast. Our tour guide Shaq was very warm and funny. I would highly recommend this activity and would certainly go again in the future.

We had a bit of a mix up with our reservation but Marie at Mont Tremblant Activity Centre, with her amazing people skills, took great care of us and we left for our trip the next day. It is about a 60 to 70 minute ride from Mont Tremblant. We were greeted upon arrival by Daniel and were given great instructions as to how the day was going to develop. We had our pre-trip meeting at the lodge and then boarded the buses to the launch area where we met our guide for the day Domenic. Domenic was fantastic and made the day extremely enjoyable for all of us on the raft. He took extra time to let us test our bravery (ensuring that we were well prepared in the event of a mishap) a couple of times and it was a lot of fun and very wet (ask your guide to take you surfing). The lunch was perfect nourishment for the activity and dinner after was good as well. The equipment we used for rafting (life jackets, helmets, wet suits, booties, rafts, paddles) were all in great shape and safety is definitely a priority with the staff while you are on the river. The safety instruction starts at the lodge, continued reinforcement before you launch, and then again prior to any of the rapids while on the river. The facilities (showers, change room, hot tub, pool) for clean up and relaxation after the rafting were well maintained and clean and there are 2 bars on site for post-rafting enjoyment. Would definitely go back and maybe even stay overnight the next time at the on-site cabins or campsites. If you go here and plan to have fun you will not be disappointed but be prepared to do some serious paddling. Special thanks again to Marie at the Mont Tremblant Activity Centre for taking such great care of us and making our mix-up turn into a fabulous experience.
