Venture down the Assomption River on a canoe trip in Saint-Côme and spend some quality time in the great outdoors with friends and family!

Enjoy a full day of adventure in the heart of the Matawinie region during a canoe trip on the Assomption River in Saint-Côme, departing from Montreal with Bonjour Nature!

After a briefing from your guide, take to the water through a series of class I to III rapids and whitewater. During your canoe trip down to Saint-Côme in the Lanaudière region, you'll alternate between calm water with a gentle current and rapids with waves and swirls that guarantee a thrill-packed activity!

You'll be surrounded by the natural beauty of Quebec's landscapes, where every stroke of your paddle will take you through a wild, natural environment where you'll discover some incredible scenery. An experienced river guide will accompany you throughout this canoe trip to ensure your safety and advise you on the best practices for a successful canoe trip.

On this 12 to 16 kilometre canoe trip down the Assomption River, you'll pass two magnificent waterfalls where you'll have to carry your equipment. This is the perfect place to enjoy a lunch to recharge your batteries after so much effort in an exceptional wilderness setting in the Matawinie.

Come and spend a refreshingly sporty moment between speed, adrenalin and nature on a canoe trip in Saint-Côme departing from Montreal on the Assomption River with Bonjour Nature!
