Three activities to enjoy this weekend at Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles

Sunny days are warming up the Rivière des Mille Îles as life slowly returns to its course.

The sun is rising earlier, and like us, it's going down later, which is why we've come up with three guided activities perfect for getting away from it all. Morning and evening, our little oasis near the city is ideal for making this weekend a real #Staycation.

Guided tour of the exhibition and laboratory

A guided tour of our Believe it or Not! exhibition and our ecology laboratory is a definite must. The exhibition is a real journey back in time, where you'll discover the refuge's rich wildlife and history. You'll also have the chance to visit the ecology laboratory and meet its famous residents, such as Rex the turtle. What's more, the Exploration Center is air-conditioned, which can come in handy on hot-too-hot days.

Introductory kayak or paddleboard lessons

Whether you're with family, friends or on your own, introductory courses are ideal for creating lasting memories. Accompanied by experts in the field, it's the perfect opportunity to learn more about the rudiments of these water sports. Double kayak, single kayak or paddleboard, we guarantee fun and laughter.

Kayaking at dusk

Every Friday and Saturday, we offer the perfect adventure for all #Sunsetlovers! As the sun sets on the peaceful river, you'll have the chance to discover some wonderful landscapes and witness a true spectacle of colours. A naturalist will guide you through this 2h30 activity. They'll help you discover the hidden fauna of the islands. What's more, the view makes for some incredible Instagram photos, making it the perfect outing to enjoy an evening in the great outdoors.

One thing's for sure: With a little imagination, you can certainly make this summer fantastic!
