River Cruise

The rivalry between Montreal and Quebec City needs no introduction. Yet, between the metropolis and the provincial capital, there’s everything a cyclist could want!

Over the course of these five days, you'll have the chance to experience the best of both worlds, as well as the stunning places located between the province's two largest cities.

Starting in Montreal, the St. Lawrence River will serve as your guide all the way to Quebec City, just as it served as a guide for the first French settlers who came to settle here.

Along the way, you’ll pass through the fertile lands of the Montérégie and Mauricie regions before the river opens up before you in the Québec City area, giving way to the famous Île d’Orléans, which you can explore on the fourth and final day of cycling.

 

In just five days, discover the province’s most-traveled route—but far from the busy highways! As you ride through picturesque villages and farmland, this cycling tour will give you a lovely glimpse of our beautiful province!
