Tour was wonderful. Challenging terrain in the deep snow. Bring water. Guide was wonderful. He was very patient with us being the only English speaking couple. Would recommend this to anyone that is in reasonable good shape. The scenery was breathtaking.
This was such a fun and unique experience. My sister and I are from Texas and really wanted a Canadian experience and this was amazing. It’s quite rigorous so I wouldn’t recommend it for young children or those with mobility issues, but it will show you Canada in a way you won’t experience elsewhere. Also, our guide Levie was incredibly patient, clearly knowledgeable and so much fun!
It was super fun. Levis, our guide, was great, very helpful and patient with the beginners. The park is beautiful--make sure you bring hand and feet warmers!
We had such a great time on this guided hok-skiing tour! Our guide, Levi, was very knowledgeable and kind and the skiing was fun and challenging. Jacques-Cartier National Park was gorgeous and had lots of snow when we went in early March. For the price, you can’t beat this trip. Hot chocolate and food provided was great too!
Hard to describe how amazing this experience was. Our guide Lorenzo was the most knowledgeable, most generous, most patient person. He truly is awesome. Highly recommend him. Lunch was cozy and delicious.The park was magical and to top it all off it snowed and we felt like we were in a wonderland.
We enjoyed the beauty of the Jacques-Cartier National Park. We learned how to hok ski - excellent experience and great teacher- very patient! What a wonderful time we had! Thanks!
Experiencing something new in a beautiful environment was challenging, invigorating, and fun. The other participants seemed equally invested. The guide, Lorenzo, was a patient teacher and good at his job.
Lorenzo was wonderful! He went above and beyond in guiding two very nervous senior citizens. Merci beaucoup!
We ended up on the snowshoeing excursion due to the limited snow conditions, but we had a fabulous time! Our guide - Gabrielle - was wonderful welcoming, knowledgeable and so much fun. The snacks brought were thoughtful and delicious and the whole experience was better than we had even imagined.
Beautiful national park with the most stunning views. Went in March and it was not too cold but there was still lots of snow. Our guide was lovely and informative. However, this activity was much more difficult and demanding than I expected. It is best suited for athletic individuals who are not afraid to fall a few times :)
