Everyone should see an ice canoe race at least once. Teams push their boats across the ice floes, jump in when the water opens, paddle against the St. Lawrence current, then climb out to push again. On the shore, the crowd cheers by clapping their mittens. This trip puts you in the front row, ticket in hand.
The motorcoach leaves Laval early in the morning and reaches Quebec City in time for the afternoon. The Carnival awaits with its snow and ice sculptures, Bonhomme's palace and lively streets. The night is spent in the heart of Old Quebec, steps from the festivities, so you can return to the Carnival after dark, when the ice lights up and music warms the streets.

Travel insuranceSynergia network group departures
Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.
What sets these departures apart
- A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
- A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
- A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
- Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it
How to book
Each departure has its own responsible advisor. Choose the trip that interests you in the list, then reach us through the contact page for remaining places and terms. These departures often fill months ahead.
Other ways to travel as a group
If no date suits you, two other routes exist: organized trips, already built and sold by tour operators, and a custom group, built around your own participants. Voyages AquaTerra holds Quebec permit 702703.
