Discover a legendary North American craft on this rabaska canoe excursion in the Grands-Jardins National Park!

A canoe of impressive dimensions (around 10 metres long and 130-150 cm wide), the rabaska is a bark boat originally used by the Amerindians to travel on lakes and rivers. It is a historic means of navigation that is now a firm favourite with outdoor enthusiasts, so don't wait any longer to try it out for yourself on this guided rabaska excursion in Charlevoix's Grands-Jardins National Park!

With 12 people on board (not including the guide), you will enjoy a relaxing rabaska tour on Lake Turgeon, in the heart of the Grands-Jardins National Park, part of the Central Areas of the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve. You will have the pleasure of paddling quietly for 1.5 hours, in a magnificent setting, while taking in the guide's knowledge of Charlevoix and its environment. With family or friends, you will have a great time in the great outdoors, just an hour's drive from La Malbaie and an hour and a half from Saguenay!

Accessible from 7 years old (as long as you can swim), this rabaska excursion in Charlevoix will give you a real immersion in Quebec nature!
