Quebec family adventure holiday, Canada

This family activity holiday is designed to showcase the best of Quebec’s activities and landscapes whilst positively benefiting the local communities and economies. Our local suppliers put a great deal of emphasis on using accommodation and activity providers with well implemented policies regarding sustainability and the environment.

Where possible throughout this holiday we use smaller, locally owned accommodation and always use local activity providers. Our suppliers provide vital employment in rural areas of Quebec. Throughout the trip we encourage our clients immerse themselves in local cultures and traditions. We also encourage the learning of some basic French to allow for a better cultural exchange.

Restaurants and meals during activities combine as much local produce as possible. Through the tourism multiplier effect, this all helps to generate incomes and employment where the drift might otherwise be towards larger employment areas such as towns and cities.

The use of smaller businesses means that the tourism income, generated by our presence, stays where it should, in the local economy. We firmly believe in paying a fair price for all the services provided by our suppliers regardless of where they are in the world.

Our holidays rely on visiting beautiful and un-spoilt areas, and they don’t come more un-spoilt than Quebec. Naturally we wish to maintain the natural settings in which we work, not just for the future of our company, but also for future generations. We always insist that our local providers are equally conscious of this need.

This holiday also incorporates a guided hike where guests will learn about the principles of responsible leisure and help to maintain some of the footpaths throughout the stunning Mauricie National Park. Guests receive a certificate of participation as part of the ‘Leave No Trace’ campaign. The holiday also provides the opportunity to visit the Centre for Conservation of Boreal Diversity at the St Felicien Wild Zoo where the day is spent exploring different Boreal environments and the conservation challenges they present. Guests will also experience the local heritage and spend the night in a traditional prospector tent.

This holiday also includes some close up encounters with spectacular animals. Guests observe whales and bears in as unobtrusive manner as possible. The knowledgeable guides describe the conservation and protection efforts that take place in the area to ensure the survival of species such as the blue whale and black bear.

As we also appreciate the importance of consistent demand to small rural communities, we also operate holidays in Quebec in winter.
