What To Expect

Le Centre d'Activites Mont Tremblant

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.

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!
Best rafting!

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.
Great guide & awesome thrills!

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.
Nice experience!

We took part in the moderate descent (there was a slightly more “extreme” descent). We had a really great guide (Jade)! She knew how to put us in confidence and lead us well throughout the course! We also have the choice to go back to surfing a fast or not, depending on how brave we are;) ). I highly recommend! The only downside is the person explaining the safety instructions in the first place. Very disrespectful and vulgar unfortunately, that’s why I don’t give 5 stars.
Real Fun place

This was a lot of fun to do. We had a group of 8 and had our own raft. The rapids were a ton of fun to go through. Our guide was English speaking and he readied us for all the bug hits. The Lodge was a lot of fun afterwards, they have Volleyball, a pool and hot tubs to lounge in. It is about an hour and half outside Montreal so it's a bit of a drive but worth it.
