After your effort will come comfort ! The Canot à Glace Expérience team invites you to embark on a unique winter experience on the St. Lawrence River in Quebec City before relaxing in a spa with friends or family.
Before setting off on your adventure, you will put on your equipment and the guides will teach you the basic techniques and safety instructions. You will embark on a 5-person canoe trip for a thrilling initiation. Depending on weather and tide conditions, the crew will adapt the route. When the St. Lawrence is water, you will move around with the help of large oars. When the river is full of ice, you will have to leave your oars on board the boat. With your crampons on, you will position yourself in a "scooter" and the canoe will make its way through the ice. You will be impressed by the noise produced!
Halfway through the trip, you will take a break on the ice of the St. Lawrence while enjoying a hot chocolate. This will also be an opportunity to take some souvenir photos of the breathtaking panorama of the old city of Quebec. After about two hours of walking, you will return to the mainland to warm up. The guides are equipped with a camera, so you will be able to take pictures and videos of this unique moment for free.
After ythis sporty activity, you will have the opportunity to find comfort in the Strøm Spa Nordique, located in Old Quebec. You will be able to live a thermal experience in the continuity of this unique day, by taking advantage of whirlpool baths, Finnish saunas or a steam bath with eucalyptus. For your peace and comfort, the spa is only accessible to people over 16 years old.
The Ice Canoe Experience team is waiting for you to discover this unique sport that requires effort and teamwork followed by a moment of relaxation in the magnificent Quebec City spa!
