5 star ratingApprendre le kayak de rivière dans un cadre enchanteur! Mon mari, moi-même et notre fils de 23 ans avons beaucoup aimé notre semaine de kayak débutant avec notre prof Les. Beaucoup de plaisir, d’apprentissage et un super mélange de respect de nos appréhensions et de stimulation à progresser. Enseignants professionnels et haut niveau de sécurité. Une semaine énergisante, dans un milieu respectueux des gens et de la nature!

5 star ratingWonderful time at Madawaska Family Rafting Wednesday, July 31 2024 @ 12:30pm - 2:30pm We went rafting with our 10 year old twin granddaughters and friends Andy, Dianne, Maggie and Abbie. Our guide Alix was excellent. Alix explained every detail of the trip before we entered the rapids. It is very safe for all ages. We had a great time and will not forget our memories. We plan on making this a yearly event. Thank you to Madawaska Family Rafting for the wonderful time! Andrew and Marlene
