  • Rabaska
  • Volleyball
  • Petanque
  • Horseshoe and pocket game
  • Axe throwing
  • Disc golf
  • Badminton
  • Finnish bowling

  • And much more!

Whether you're a novice or an expert, there's something for everyone! Quality equipment is provided, and an on-site manager can guide you if necessary. Since safety is a priority, a lifejacket and safety kit are issued to every participant on the water. Please note that the minimum age for using a boat alone is 13, and that children under 7 must remain under parental supervision on the island. New this year, Adventure package holders can add to their experience the rental of an E-Surf for $80, enabling them to propel themselves at speeds of up to 55 km/h on the water in complete maneuverability.
