About the trip

This week-long tour from G Adventures traces the routes once paddled by the La Vérendrye brothers around Quebec’s interconnected lakes and rivers. Starting with a meeting in Montreal, the group transfers north to La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve, where five nights are spent camping under canvas beside water quiet but for loons. The route follows a canoe circuit that demands mastering the portage between waterways, a nod to the voyageurs of old.

After leaving the tents behind, the final two nights are spent in a hotel at Saint-Hippolyte, a chance to rest and recover by the lake. The meals are freshly prepared from local supplies, and the trip involves shared tasks like pitching tents and meal prep — a reminder that a paddling holiday is as much about teamwork as it is about the scenery. Quiet evenings by the campfire and the chance to consider vast Canadian wilderness make this a measured, grounded expedition rather than a rushed itinerary.
