We took "The Traditional" half day tour during the middle of our Quebec City vacation but did not stay for food. The location is gorgeous, just the drive out there is worth it. They are very well organized, safe, and have great instructors. Our family was one of the few that didn't speak French, so our instructor had to work... More

This rafting trip was the best ever. My sons and I had been rafting before, but my wife and daughter had not and all of us agreed it was a great experience. Our kids are 13, 15 & 17. It is not, however, for the faint of heart. You raft through Class V rapids and then get to jump from... More

We planned a rafting trip on our second day in Quebec with New Wave Expeditions. We selected New Wave Expeditions based primarily due to the high reviews read on Trip Advisor. What a great decision and awesome company! Neither my husband or 16 year old teen had rafted before and for me it was many years ago. The staff and... More

My daughter and I spent a full day rafting with a couple of great guides - Arron and Olivier, The lack of rain had brought the water level down, so the river did not pack the same punch as it does in the spring. But the guides didn't let it hamper our experience one bit. Annie was a great hostess.... More

I heartily recommend New Expeditions if you are planning a white water rafting trip in Quebec. We had a fantastic time! We had done rafting before in Categories III and IV, but on this trip we had Category V. What a thrill! The guides are experienced and professional. We appreciated that the entire team stressed safety and felt that we... More

For our first family rafting trip (kids ages 12 and 14), this was an outstanding adventure and certainly a highlight of our trip. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and placed a big emphasis on training and safety, but they were also a lot of fun. Exciting rapids, fun activities like swimming the rapids and cliff jumping - would highly recommend... More

Despite the relatively low water levels in the river, the trip was a great thrill for all of us and we really enjoyed the positive, fun way that our raft guides led us. More

I also found They were highly professionnal. In one of the tough rapids, a boat got stuck on a rock, taking tons of water. After trying some maneuvers to get it out they decided to evacuate all the people on board. They did that slowly, taking people one by one, never had anyone been at risk, even if the rapid... More

This is a review I posted last year on Topix... Just wanted to share again... Wow! I just wanted to share my rafting experience. I went rafting several time in the last years on different rivers and companies across Canada and the US but this was a very different approach. My last run was with Expeditions Nouvelle Vague (New Wave... More
