Paddle the St. Lawrence River near Quebec City on a guided Orléans Island kayak tour with gear, instruction, snacks, and scenic stops.
“I had booked way in advance, given that this city is a french city. Everything is written in French, there was no clear signs that there will be a bus taking you to kayking. After thorough interrogation, it turns out that the time is over and my group cannot go kayking anymore. This just broke my heart and my experience was just terrible. Please be sure to check if everything is in english. There were no clear signs on my booking. No address was mentioned. I would urge people to be careful about it. I hope I get a refund.”
