Our mission is a pledge to sustainable development:

Ours is a zero-footprint fleet of 105 human-powered pleasure crafts, with 25 bicycles for exploring Charlevoix’s wilderness reaches and coastal territories;
Half our kayak fleet is constructed of wood, a material that lends itself well to regular maintenance and upgrade programmes;
We use biodegradable products on all daily equipment maintenance;
Safe shuttles convey clients to their departure points;
We generate stimulating and structured employment for 15 persons in the region, with training in ecotourism and adventure tourism;
We offer our expertise in nautical and tourist operations on regional and provincial committees;

We accompany over 5,000 adventure seekers annually on sustainable activities (aka: in the great outdoors!).
