The experience

The tour starts with driving training and a practical test in the electric Polaris Ranger before you head out. The vehicle's quiet engine lets you hear wind, birds and streams as you climb forest trails and navigate turns that open onto views of mountains, Lake Sables and the ancient boreal forest. The main stop is the famous lookout above the fjord, where rock faces drop straight into deep water: a vantage point the village trails alone would take longer to reach.

After the ride, you visit the beekeeping shop and local grocery store in Sainte-Rose-du-Nord to taste raw honey sourced from the territory's boreal forest. The shop stocks regional products, Quebec wines, local beers and meads from the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region if you want to pick up ingredients for a meal. The experience is customizable, so the guide adjusts the pace and stops to match what you want from the day.

The tour is wheelchair accessible, and all areas and surfaces accommodate mobility devices. Service animals are allowed. You receive a safety helmet, rain set and gloves. The guide holds a VHR certification and leads in English or French.
