Reviews of Cime Aventures (Event Planner)

marjorie disdier

(Translated) The popular kayaking activity is really good! On the other hand, the campsite is sorely lacking in toilet facilities (6 toilets for at least 120 sites) and the pitches are not shaded, lack of privacy. We can see the 5 neighbors around us. It would be nice to include showers in the price of the pitch (Original) L activité kayak populaire est vraiment bien! En revanche le site de camping manque cruellement de toilette (6 toilettes pour 120 sites au moins) et les emplacements ne sont pas ombragés, manque d'intimité. On voit les 5 voisins autour de nous. Ça serait bien d'inclure les douches dans le prix de l'emplacement

(Translated) I took the family tour and it was great! (Original) J'ai fait le tour Le familiale et c'était super !

Vincent Monfette

Awesome place. Amazing camping with lots of varieties of lodging. They have an eco-conscious atmosphere. With campgrounds that are isolated with and without electricity. We had the electricity option to heat our van during the night. It was cold in September so a good heater is a must. I must say that we went towards the end of the season. So.our experience was good because it wasn't as crowded. The kayaking down the river is definitely the highlight. We took the "popular" option and had an awesome time. They provide wet suits when it's colder. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.

(Translated) This place is fantastic! We slept in a tipi it was really too great (with our dogs in addition!). This river is translucent, we see a lot of salmon. …

Staff was rude to my wife. The river was very beautiful!

Suzie Bélanger

(Translated) Super place beautiful comfortable cabins, the descent of the river is the favorite (Original) Super place belles cabines confortables, la descente de rivière est le coup de cœur

Evelyne Bélanger

(Translated) Very disappointing tube descent. The only end of the river where we have moved is where the “smart” rapid is. We had to walk sideways to complete the descent and try to paddle with our hands, but in a tube it is not easy. Customer service leaves much to be desired. This activity is more like a snorkeling activity and not a tube descent, in my opinion. Not worth the detour. (Original) Descente de la rivière en tube très décevante. Le seul bout de la rivière où nous avons avancer est où se trouve le rapide le «malin». Nous avons du marcher sur le côté pour terminer la descente et essayer de pagayer avec nos mains, mais en tube ce n'est pas évident. Le service à la clientèle laisse vraiment à désirer. Cette activité se trouve plutôt à être une activité de plongé en apnée et non une descente en tube, selon moi. Ne vaut pas le détour.

Someone recommended I go kayaking here and I could not be more thankful. What a beautiful, wonderful experience. Very professional, great service picking you up afterwards with the shuttle, and very personable and friendly staff. Absolutely would recommend and would go back

Mil D

Great camping

tabitha rondeau

Nice/nature camping and amenities, tarp on nearly all camping spots, real eco-friendly measures, excellent customer service. The only bad point is the potable water has very bad taste (like drinking a swimming pool water)

John D

We used the shuttle service and this was well worth the money for a very interesting journey to the Lake put in. Staff and driver were excellent Highly recommend them

Maximova Tatiana

We only went for the 2 hour kayaking run. Beautiful scenery. Crystal clear water. Only thing is do not waste to much time. You'll miss the bus.

Sandryne B.

(Translated) Superb descent on the river, it's magnificent! Bring a lunch, lots of sunscreen, water shoes and everything in a waterproof bag because it's pretty certain that you will get wet. The river is very low in a lot of places, a lot of chances of getting stuck in the rocks. At the campsite no real privacy, few trees or distance between the sites. Bag of wood $ 10, showers $ 1 for 5 minutes. The showers are spacious, with a shelf to store our things and hooks. There is no electricity in the corner of the showers you have to go to the corner of the toilet (separate from the showers) for the sockets. The laundry room unfortunately was not that great, 2 washers and 2 dryers and during our stay 1 of each was broken. The loads of laundry seemed to take forever because the water does not run hard ... We ended up washing our laundry by hand in a sink because the washer was never free. There is hot water in the sink near the showers but elsewhere you will have to wash your hands and dishes in cold water unless you are boiling water. Free WiFi on site and we had a network on our campsite. 10/10 for the cleanliness and service of the staff. (Original) Superbe descente sur la rivière, c'est magnifique! Apportez un lunch, de la crème solaire en masse, des souliers d'eau et le tout dans un sac imperméable car c'est pas mal certain que vous allez vous mouiller. La rivière est très basse à beaucoup d'endroits, beaucoup de chances de rester pris dans les roches. Au camping pas d'intimité vraiment, peu d'arbres ou de distance entre les terrains. Sac de bois 10$, douches 1$ pour 5 minutes. Les douches sont spacieuses, avec une tablette pour déposer nos choses et des crochets. Il n'y a pas d'électricité dans le coin des douches il faut aller dans le coin des toilettes (séparés des douches) pour les prises de courant. La buanderie malheureusement c'était pas fameux, 2 laveuses et 2 sécheuses et pendant notre séjour 1 de chaque était brisée. Les brassées de lavage semblaient prendre une éternité car l'eau ne coule pas fort... On a finit par laver notre linge à la main dans un évier car la laveuse n'était jamais libre. Il y a de l'eau chaude dans le lavabo près des douches mais ailleurs vous devrez vous laver les mains et votre vaisselle à l'eau froide à moins de faire bouillir de l'eau. Wifi gratuit sur place et on avait du réseau sur notre terrain de camping. 10/10 pour la propreté et le service du personnel.

(Translated) The river is beautiful! Even with the covid, everything is quite simple, the lady who greets us first is full of energy and good humor! …

Max Charp

(Translated) Descent tube very nice, take your time, stop at a few places, otherwise it goes very quickly. The water is so clear, it's pretty amazing. Next time I would like to try the canoe trip! …

Marie-Claude Aubry

(Translated) What a beautiful river the Bonaventure River is! The water is amazingly transparent and we can see Salmon swimming there if we are lucky. The service is excellent! We did the “popular” descent and the rented kayaks are very stable and of good quality. I highly recommend. (Original) Quelle belle rivière qu’est la rivière Bonaventure! L’eau y est d’une transparence étonnante et nous pouvons y voir nager des Saumons si nous sommes chanceux. Le service est excellent! Nous avons fait la descente « La populaire » et les Kayaks loués sont très stable et de bonne qualité. Je recommande fortement.

Catherine L

Must keep in mind that this is a big area and a Camping space, even if you're staying at private rooms the service won't be the same of a 5 star resort. That said, i saw the staff work hard everyday on the bathrooms, reception, bar and activities to make sure everyone had the best experience. I had a blast there, the camping was nice, the river is amazing and the bar has a good variety of local beer and food. Only con is that it has a fire interdiction when i was there, so we couldn't make a fire on the camping area, but it's also something they can't control.

Ewa Sieminska

Great experience

张荞

Beautiful place to enjoy nature

Vincent Bérubé

(Translated) A peaceful descent of the river thanks to Cime Aventures. The place is really beautiful and calm. On the other hand, indications of how to use the boats would have been welcome. The staff swing the oars in people's hands and take them up and then say hello to the next .... Other than that, really great! (Original) Une descente paisible de la rivière grâce à Cime Aventures. La place est vraiment belle et calme. Par contre des indication de comment utiliser les embarcations auraient été les bienvenue. Le personnel balance les rames dans les mains des gens et les font monter et après salut au suivant.... Mis à part ça, vraiment très bien !

Jeanette Marcotte

Excellent place friendly peoplevery nice at the river pool to dirty with flies and smell

Jessica Lévesque

(Translated) Very bad experience with the reception staff. A rather unpleasant attitude on their part. Fire permit required on site ($ 10) even if you have your own wood. The sites are well laid out with protective covers, but lack a little privacy because the trees do not hide the neighboring land at our height. Very expensive price for the descent of the Bonaventure river; I recommend waiting for promotions. (Original) Très mauvaise expérience avec le personnel à l'accueil. Une attitude assez désagréable de leur part. Permis de feu obligatoire sur le site (10$) même si vous possédez votre propre bois. Les sites sont bien aménagés avec les toiles de protection, mais manque un peu d'intimité car les arbres ne cachent pas les terrains voisin à notre hauteur. Prix très cher pour la descente de la rivière bonaventure; je recommande d'attendre des promotions.

Claudia

Too many people and not a very nice camping sadly

Didier Levesque

You get paddle to your way down the Most beautiful river

(Translated) A must do not to miss the descent of the river in a kayak, just WOW !! (Original) Un incontournable à ne pas manquer la descente de la rivière en kayak, juste WOW!!

Pierre Ouellet

(Translated) Very nice experience today. We found the staff to be very friendly furthermore that we had the wrong day for booking our kayaking trip. They did everything to accommodate us and find us a descent within an hour of our arrival. The river was very beautiful I couldn't ask for better. We will come back for sure !! (Original) Très belle expérience aujourd'hui. Nous avons trouvé les employés très sympathiques de plus que nous nous étions trompés de journée pour la réservation de notre descente en kayak. Ils ont tout fait pour nous accommoder et nous trouver une descente dans l'heure qui suivait notre arrivé. La rivière était très belle je ne pouvais pas pas espérer mieux. Nous allons revenir c'est sur !!

EJ

Not a good experience. Wood is really far from the camping site, there is no privacy from other camping sites. It is really packed and you can hear other campers during the night. There is only 1 machine to clean clothes for 80 camping sites. Showers are 1 dollar and they stop after a little while, forcing you to pay another 1 dollar. I asked for information on restaurants and they showed me their food truck which was really bad. The information was misleading, there are way more camping sites that offer better service.

GUILLAUME GINGRAS

(Translated) What a beautiful descent in the river. What to say about the breathtaking landscapes. We did the popular descent and loved our experience. It's very well organized and the whole team is very friendly. I highly recommend it. (Original) Quelle belle descente en rivière. Que dire des paysages à couper le souffle. Nous avons fait la descente la populaire et nous avons adoré notre expérience. C’est très bien organisé et toute l’équipe est très sympathique. Je le recommande fortement.

(Translated) Beautiful area! Lots of vegetation, it's soothing. The staff are friendly and courteous. We camped in a tent, bring a good mattress since the ground is not grassed and there are several rocks. I would have liked there to be a small convenience store on site, but the village is about ten minutes away. The river is a must, unfortunately there is no beach, only rocks. (Original) Très bel endroit! Beaucoup de végétation, c'est apaisant. Le personnel est sympathique et courtois. Nous avons campé en tente, amenez vous de bon matelas puisque le sol n'est pas gazonné et il y a plusieurs roches. J'aurais aimé qu'il y ait un petit dépanneur sur place, mais le village est à une dizaine de minutes. La rivière est un incontournable, malheureusement, il n'y a pas de plage, que des rochers.

Rented a canoe for a two day trip and everything was satisfactory aside from the barrels they provided for our stuff. Our friends' canoe tipped over and all of their stuff got wet due to the barrels not being waterproof.

Very fun

Very unpleasant staff, says 2 services but no drinkable water at camp, very dissapointed.

(Translated) A magnificent place to discover the Gaspé and the Bonaventure River. The site is located at the edge of the salmon river. We rented a cabin, the staff are welcoming and smiling it was a real pleasure (Original) Une place magnifique pour découvrir la Gaspésie et la rivière bonaventure. Le site est placé au bord de la rivière au saumon. Nous avons loué une cabine , le personnel est accueillant et souriant c'était un vrai plaisir

Benjamin Roy

The river is spectacular!

Samantha Lamb

Had the most amazing time staying at this campsite! So many adventures to be had in this area. The kayaking is a must! Beautiful landscapes all around. We stayed at cime in 2020, will definitely have to go back at some point in the future. We stayed here in our camper and we had everything we need, we brought our own kayaks and had our own adventures. I can't give a review for any of the utilities at this campsite concidering I didn't use any. Great location, with direct access to the river!

Brian Nieckarz

Personally I liked the place first because the access they have to the clear water river is amazing and second the hippies style of the complete place. So if you are looking for fantasy luxury spa is not here. If you are here to connect with nature yes !

Marion

(Translated) The team on site is fantastic! Superb welcome, the place is just beautiful and well appointed, really nothing to say! The patrollers on the river always keep the concern that the experience of descent is optimal. The suggestion that I would make to the patrollers is to keep a lifeguard at all times at the Malin Rapide in the event of the boat overturning. (Original) L'équipe sur place est fantastique! Superbe accueil, l'endroit est juste magnifique et bien aménagé, vraiment rien à dire! Les patrouilleurs sur la rivière gardent toujours le souci que l'expérience de descente soit optimale. La suggestion que je ferais aux patrouilleurs c'est de garder un sauveteur en tout temps au rapide du Malin en cas de renversement de l'embarcation.

Sarah Marien

Great campsite! Happy to have electricity and water right on the lot. Great view and walk to the river and not too far from necessities, but felt covered and secluded.

Gabriel Langevin

Kayaking on Bonaventure river for someone who loves nature is like drinking wine in Italy with a sunset in Florence. You can choose lots of activities depending on your level and schedule. Loved that the agent on the phone gave me a promo code and took the time to answer all my questions. The equipment is ok. The staff really makes the experience even more pleasant. One thing to improve would be about the shuttle at the end. We had no specific time and had to wait for the bus in wet clothes for almost an hour, so we got cold. Other than that, we had a great experience!

Maxime Séguin

Warning for RVs: the electrical is sub-standard, outlets unstable and and no breaker, should you have an electrical short. NO DUMP STATION! No potable water on-site. No heated pools or climbing structure as advertised ( I know it's covid but let people know ahead of time). If you don't reserve kayaking activity weeks ahead of time, prepare to be very bored. We ended up buying inflatable boats and leaving vehicles downstream. It took 4 hours to float from campground to near the IGA. ( Bring snacks) The added bonus was the septic trunk that emptied the public toilets at supper time and had us all gagging for at least 30 minutes. This place is a rundown operation that needs a massive overhaul!

Katy C.

CimeAventure is a campground, and also organizes tours to go down the Bonaventure River. The camping looks pretty tacky. The roads are made out of dirt, it seems rustic to me. You cannot go there with a 30 feet trailer or RV. Only tents, or hybrids trailers. I went down the Bonaventure river. It was funny. We went on an old school bus that wasn't starting like it should, going 80KMH on a small road, to finally arrive at our launching point. We were on tubes. You can also rent somekind of board, for more informations, ask them. Activities: Restaurant Kayaking

Tom Harman

Perfect spot for tenting but not great for trailers.

Brice Schneider

If you're looking for a family or a friendly getaway with activities on-site then look no further. This place is packed with activities on the river for all experience levels, they have all the necessary amenities and more. They are still growing and getting larger so definitely will get better with time. Really peaceful place with a peaceful vibe and no fancy stuff!

Crystal Kruse

A nice river to go down on with friends or family, the water color is breathtaking!

Paul Blais

Great Adventure.

Marie-Michelle Pepin

Took the 4-hour kayak ride at the end of the driest month of the year. Had great fun. Very well organized, great sentiment of safety and good gear.

Félix Longpré

(Translated) The Bonaventure River is magnificent and the activities offered are interesting, but there is a little lack of staff to manage everything. (Original) La rivière Bonaventure est magnifique et les activités proposées intéressantes mais il manque un peu de personnel pour diriger le tout.

We had an amazing time doing "la populaire" activity down the bonaventure river with a kayak.The Cime Aventure team is really well organised,everything went super smooth and they have everything to prepare you for the trip,highly recommended!

Breno Medeiros

Lovely! Magic place! Doing Kayak totally recommended!

Julie Rancourt

(Translated) Beautiful campsite which seems to have a vision of sustainable development. However, we were disappointed with the various changes imposed (of the campsite, although booked well in advance, and of the boat for the descent of the river). (Original) Beau camping qui semble avoir une vision de développement durable. Nous avons toutefois été déçus des différents changements imposés (de site de camping pourtant réservés bien à l’avance et d’embarcation pour la descente de la rivière).

François Desaulniers

(Translated) I had an amazing weekend with my friends here! The yurt is comfortable, with a view of the Bonaventure River. The canoe trip was very pleasant according to my friends, since I unfortunately could not finish it. The guides were very knowledgeable, especially the one who took charge of our evacuation. A good experience despite everything! (Original) J'ai passé une fin de semaine incroyable avec mes amis ici ! La yourte est confortable, avec une vue sur la rivière Bonaventure. La descente en canoë était très agréable d'après mes amis, puisque je n'ai pas pu la finir malheureusement. Les guides étaient très compétents, en particulier celui qui a pris en charge notre évacuation. Une bonne expérience malgré tout !

Jared Gurman

Very nice river!

David Ézéckyel Dupont

(Translated) For me it was only the 2 hour tube descent. My girlfriend and I loved it. For about twenty dollars you will discover a truly magnificent and limpid river. The little rapid "Le Malin" is really fun and you can cross it several times when you get out of the water. The professionalism of the employees and the organization of the premises and A1. I recommend anyone passing through Bonaventure to check it out. (Original) Pour moi c’était seulement la descente en tube de 2h. Ma copine et moi avons adoré. Pour une vingtaine de dollars vous découvrirez une rivière vraiment magnifique et limpide. Le petit rapide « Le Malin » est vraiment amusant et on peut le traverser plusieurs fois en sortant de l’eau. Le professionnalisme des employés et l’organisation des lieux et A1. Je recommande tous ceux qui sont de passage à Bonaventure d’y aller faire un tour.

Miss the hot tub n small pool

Régis Cahn

(Translated) 2 nights at the campsite pitch 105. Quiet nights despite the proximity of the reception and parking. Reception at the reception very good where we had the good information. Only flaws, sanitary not very clean yet cleaned in the morning by nice ladies. It must be said that there is a lot of rotation! We also did the popular descent on the Bonaventure River. An experience to live. Well organized by the staff. We had good information at the start and the staff is also on the river. I would have liked some additional information just at the delivery of the canoe (at the time of entering the water). This descent is accessible, but requires good direction to avoid some pebbles. Beaches for swimming! Great. (Original) 2 nuits au camping emplacement 105. Nuitées au calme malgré la proximité de l'accueil et des parkings. Accueil à la réception très bon où nous avons eu les bonnes informations. Seul bémols, les sanitaires pas très propres pourtant nettoyés le matin par de gentilles dames. Il faut dire qu'il y a beaucoup de rotation ! Nous avons aussi réalisé la descente populaire sur la rivière Bonaventure. Une expérience à vivre. Bien organisée par le staff. Nous avons eu au départ les bonnes informations et le personnel est aussi sur la rivière. J'aurais aimé quelques informations supplémentaires juste à la remise du canoë (au moment de rentrer dans l'eau). Cette descente est accessible, mais demande de bien se diriger pour éviter quelques cailloux. Des plages pour se baigner ! Super.

Joshua Besecker

Very nice place, try the bonaventure ride!

Liege Adamski

(Translated) Can I put 6 stars? Despite COVID19 which has given this place an obvious blow, every time I go there I wouldn't want to leave. The Bonaventure downhill activity is simply unforgettable. (Original) Puis-je mettre 6 étoiles ? Malgré la COVID19 qui a donné un coup dur évident à cet endroit, chaque fois que j'y vais, je ne voudrais pas repartir. L'activité de descente de la Bonaventure est tout simplement inoubliable.

Janis Jean

Bohemian campground with great access to the Bonaventure river. The water is crystal clear and the campground offers kayak and canoes for trips. We did the trip down the river to downtown Bonaventure (with own kayaks) and it was awesome. The campground is cool too as it is not your typical campground. The washrooms are open and coed, the sites have each a roofed portion made from recycled billboard posters which keep you nice and dry when needed. It has also some cabins which are in the wooded area. We did not see the inside but they looked cool and were all rented out when we were there so I guess they are popular.

Ken Frei

We had a lot of fun doing kayaking. Stuff was nice. But there were some "no" for me. First is that at the beginning even though they counted everybody asking what did you ordered, they missed 4 single kayaks and 2 double ones....SERIOSLY? How? So some people had to wait 30+ mins while a bus will get there something and others preferred excess kanoes not to wait without getting money back. Other thing was that they kind of don't have mobile connection at the start point so it's a problem to talk with a base. Just short messages like "2 sing kayaks, 2 doub"... And it XXI century. ...Not everywhere yet. Nature was ok. The level was very easy. Have no idea what will be on a family route ????????????. In one place even pretty small me almost stuck cz of shalow water. And it's kind of long place. To say nothing about a couple in a double kayak who likes to eat that had to stop every 10 mins to take out water. They had just walk there. ???? nobody said anything to them before about this problem. And the last one is that at the stops there were no signs for a toilet and just one broken table to eat!

Benoit Laflamme

IT IS A RESORT NOT A CAMPING. The river is wonderful, but the camping is awful. People are NOT RESPECTFUL, loud music, nobodys respect the rules. There was an interdiction of fire, everybody had a fire camp, no security to come and tell people. If you want to canoe, go for it, but for any other reason go sleep somewhere else!!!

Nilay Joshi

I like the area and the staff seem friendly. Our camp spot was small but it was a reasonable price for a spot with electricity. I like the mounted white tarp they provide, to keep your tent dry. They also have curfew hours, to be quiet by 11 pm so as not to disturb others. You can buy a sack of wood for $10 if you would like a bonfire. The washrooms and shower area could cleaner. They offer a washer and dryer for laundry. The washing area for dishes was disgustingly dirty. They offer adventure tours by kayak on the river. Did not try it but saw a lot of people boarding the buses to start their day on their river tour. It is not the cleanest place, a bit bric and brac, but it's not the worst either. Not a favourite camping spot for me or my partner.

Sébastien Thellend

(Translated) The campsite is good, everything is close with drinking water in a few places. There is a coffee machine in the big chalet. The coffee is ordinary but it helps. The kayaking in the river is magnificent. (Original) Le camping est bien, tout est proche avec de l’eau potable à quelques endroit. Il y a une machine à café dans le gros chalet. Le café est ordinaire mais il dépanne. La descente en kayak dans la rivière est magnifique.

Michael Tsoller

Don't camp here & do the solo kayaking on the famous tour (4 hours). Make sure the water levels are high enough and you'll have an amazing experience. I did it 5+ times in the course of many years (from 12 years old to 23) and was never disappointed.

AnaGyslinn Danae

Camping spot had laughable cover from neighboring camps. My spot to set up my tent was literally a meter away from my neighbor's. If your going to take a shower make sure to bring more than 1 dollar, otherwise your body is going to be smothered with shower gel. I do not recommend. Personal opinion.

Terry Kordupel

Had the canoe ride on the river. The water level was 40 cm lower than usual. They should not organize rides with canoes in such shallow water. Half of the time it was an extremely frustrating ride. Kayaks were capable to glide in much more shallow places.

Pierre Germain

The tipi experience was fun. However the first tipi we had was badly kept. We were permitted to change and the second one was much better. The view is very pretty and there are many things you can do on the site.

mike sommerville

Good place to go down some camping with young kid and to do some activities with the nature. ????

Veronique Verreault

Very bad experience, they cancel our tour without notifying us. We arrive to the place of course not knowing the tour was cancelled, and they did not provide other solution.

Julie Angel

(Translated) Despite the rain we had a great weekend. First night in a very beautiful and well equipped ecologis. Second day in a canoe a beautiful 20 km on the Bonaventure. Superb day despite a lot of rain. With the wetsuits we were fine. Thank you to the guide who gave us a little jacket for our young boy who was a little cold. Second night in a very beautiful yurt and beautiful land. Thank you to the whole team very good organization (Original) Malgré la pluie nous avons passé une super fin de semaine. Première nuit dans un écologis très beau et bien équipé. Deuxième journée en canot un beau 20 km sur la Bonaventure. Superbe journée malgré beaucoup de pluie. Avec les wetsuit nous étions bien.

Joelle T

(Translated) Beautiful and well organized river descent. Recommended for kayaking, but not recommended for canoes, which seemed to have difficulty in the rapids. More or less well-equipped camping space for tents. Soil with a lot of rocks. However, the space was covered, which was good and free wifi on the site. (Original) Descente de la rivière magnifique et bien organisée. Recommandée en kayak, mais déconseillée en canot, qui semblait avoir de la difficulté dans les rapides. Espace de camping plus ou moins bien aménagé pour les tentes. Sol avec beaucoup de roches. Par contre l'espace était couvert ce qui était bien et wifi gratuit sur le site.

Marie Landry

A+!

Lincoln Anderson

We had the priveledge of camping here for 3 nights and doing 2 days of activities on the River. The first day we did the tour called The Matinale and it was a 17km kayak down the Pristine Bonaventure River, we saw very large saumon and were even able to drink right from the river when thristy. The rapids were fun and easy to negociate and the kayaks that CIME uses are ridiculously stable making even novices look like pros! The second day we did the tubing excursion and stopped and hung-out for 3 hours at a rapid called Le Malin. You can swim down the rapid and jump of the ledges over the river into the crystal clear water. A super fun and relaxing day! IF you are passing by Bonaventure on your tour of Gaspé, this must be on list your list of places to stop and enjoy!

remi c

Really good and fun!

Joanie Bélanger

The river is crazy beautiful! The equipment is in ok shape. The installations are in need of restoration : spa is closed, pool is a bit dirty... but this is not what should bring you to this place! Definitely a must if you are in the area!

Eric Clark

Nice river, bit the campgrounds are expensive for what they offer. Firewood and showers should be cheaper.

jf leclerc

Excellant

Anatolie M

Paid for half a shower after paying more than 300$ for the activities during the day

Greg B

(Translated) For my part, I had a good time, the service is very good! They let us pass instead because we arrived a little half an hour early. For our part there was more kayaking done as we spent time on the family inflatable. I didn't know what to expect but it was perfect and a little stressful at the same time. For sure I will come back! (Original) Pour ma part j'ai passé un agréable moment, le service est très bon! On nous a laissé passer plutôt car nous sommes arrivés une petit demi-heure en avance. Pour notre part y avait plus de kayak fait que nous avons passe du temps sur le pneumatique familiale. Je ne savais pas a quoi m'attendre mais c'était parfait et un peu stressant en même temps. Pour sur je reviendrai!

Madison Deppe

The kayaking tour was pretty well organized, would recommend that. However, I didn’t really like the camping, the bathroom are outdoors and kinda disgusting and smelly. Reminds me of a youth hostel in south america or something. On top of that, it costs 1$ to shower (should’ve mentionned that on their website). Also, I was on the open campground and the big dog next to my site was offleash and almost attacked my small dog that was leashed. An employee advised them but no further consequences for them and no sense of urgency. Wasn’t in the mood to stay after that incident, especialy next that that family and their agressive dog so I left a day early. Felt like they could’ve done more and perhalps managed the situation a bit better.

David Boutin

(Translated) We went there for the descent of the Bonaventure River with our own boat. The staff gave us great information. The people there are very courteous. Excellent service! …

Benedicte Sevigny-lapointe

(Translated) The water is beautiful and it was a great experience! The place is well organized and the return to the parking lot was easy with the shuttle. All the staff were very nice. However, in August the water level was very low and we got stuck several times during the La Familiale trip. I wouldn't recommend the other routes if you are not an intermediate level and skilled at maneuvering to avoid rocks. We had a problem with our reservation and the Management was able to provide us with satisfaction. (Original) L’eau est magnifique et ce fut une belle expérience! L’endroit est bien organiser et le retour au stationnement fut facile avec la navette. Tout le personnel était très gentil. Cependant, en août le niveau de l’eau était très bas et nous sommes restés coincé à plusieurs reprises pendant le trajet La Familiale. Je ne vous conseil pas les autres trajets si vous n’êtes pas de niveau intermédiaire et habiles à manoeuvrer pour éviter des rochers. Nous avons eu un problème avec notre réservation et la Direction a su nous apporter satisfaction.

Overall very disapointed with my stay and experience with cime aventures. I had heard good reviews from people but my experience was very different. First let's talk about the tipi accomodation. they seem to have taken down a lot of the picture from their website now, but while we booked, they had done a very nice job of marketing their tipi, They were showing off pretty and clean tipi with nice glass patio door and with indoor fireplace. The tipi we arrived to was very different, the indoor fireplace had been taken out, fully removed leaving only a part of the old chimney. The nights were very cold at the beginning of september, around 5 degrees and very humid, The inside was incredibly humid and cold, not at all comfortable without a fireplace. There was incredible amounts of spiderwebs found at the entrance of the tipi and an old ugly wooden door was used instead of the nice glass door from the picture. The 2 small beds were covered in a plastic cover to protect it but the big one wasn't, it was covered in an old bedding that someone had clearly brought and left behind, I Was very uncomfortable with the idea to sleep over someone's old sheet and no mattress protection. The second day was an incredibly rainy day, and we even had some rain dripping in the inside of the tipi, directly on the bed. I do understand that this is ''camping'' and not a 5 star hotel but the tipi is just clearly not cleaned, filled with spider webs and leftover soot all over. The cost of the tipi really doesn't reflect the low quality of the accomodation. The toilet and sink are also a little far, and its impossible to bring the car close to the tipi which makes it quite hard to bring all the stuff in, especially in the dark, at night. We didn't end up seeing the shower because we ended up leaving a day early because how uncomfortable our first night was in the tipi, and the water dripping in the second day. But the toilet facilities close to the restaurant were very dirty and smelly, and there was no hot water on any of the sink in that area, I don't know about the others. The pool area/spa look deserted like if no one had taken care of cleaned it in months. I still enjoyed my kayak experience, but I don't think we can say the same of many others that took the trip at the same time than us. The water levels were INCREDIBLY low, they mentionned to us possibly having to stand up 1-10 times during the duration of our 20km trip, but we were talking about more than 30+ time if not more. There was some entire section where it was impossible to use the kayak at all and had to be crossed on foot in the river while dragging the kayak. knowing those condition the little water boots should be provided at NO COST to everyone, They were really not pushing the fact that we would have to walk into the river that much to people and many skip renting those which would made the ride very uncomfortable. Luckily they were at least renting the wet suit for free because of the cold temperature and the rain but same should be done for the rain boots in such low water levels. Many (older ) people were growing extremely tired, uncomfortable and frankly frustrated after many hours of dragging their kayak in cold water and getting stuck on rock every couple minutes, Proper warning should be given as well as discount on low level days.

(Translated) If you've never been kayaking in the Bonaventure River, this is ABSOLUTELY a must-see. One of the clearest rivers in the world. Safe, well organized and a heavenly place. (Original) Si vous n’avez jamais été en kayak dans la rivière Bonaventure, c’est ABSOLUMENT incontournable. Une des rivières les plus limpide au monde. Sécuritaire, bien organisé et endroit paradisiaque.

Went for a double kayaking down the river, "La Familiale". The river is beautiful. The staff are very competent and caring. We got a ride back to the base by school bus! Great experience.

Sandy Lacerte

(Translated) We did the double kayak descent of the bonnaventure river (the popular one on the website). The descent is done without a guide but the instructions are very clear. Pleasant descent, following the current the descent …

(Translated) Beautiful, well-organized campsite, located on the banks of the Bonaventure River. The grounds are large and for the most part quite private. The shelter that protects the tent and the table was invaluable considering it was raining during our stay. Very clean showers and toilets. (Original) Beau camping bien organisé, situé au bord de la rivière Bonaventure. Les terrains sont grands et pour la plupart assez intimes. L’abris qui protège la tente et la table a été précieux étant donné qu’il pleuvait lors de notre séjour. Douches et toilettes très propres.

Sorry but the spa is a joke. It looks like there weren’t any investments since 15 years (50% broken, the rest dirty and full of grass and sand). The kayak tour in the river would have been great but with almost no water it was more of a hiking tour in the 10 cm high water. So Cine, to keep your good rating, you should better shorten the tour during summer months if that means more fun to the participants.

Before you go, make sure to CALL to ask details about the conditions on the river. I took part in "The Famous Tour" which was self-guided 20km down the river. I was expecting a relaxed canoe ride with a few easy rapids. But the level on the river was exceptionally low (10 m3/s. The lowest from the chart in their office shows 5 m3/s) and my experience was totally different. The river was full of rocks sticking out of water or hidden just underneath it (often impossible to see until too late) so the ride was 80% of frantic maneuvering between them just to keep the canoe from tipping. We ended up in the water many times and I have bruises on my legs from hitting rocks (because the level is so low you end up on the rocks with little water to cushion the fall). We are no experts in canoeing (just typical basic knowledge of techniques) and even though my partner enjoyed the challenge/struggle, I was so stressed that I don't even remember the views we passed. So my 2 stars are for misinformation. Had I known that it's going to be a crazy ride between the rocks (or pushing the canoe through shallow parts while walking on slippery rocks), I wouldn't have done it. The staff only told us just before the departure that the level is low and there are more rocks but first: they only said it in French (so I didn't understand) and second: they failed to provide a full picture of the situation on the river.

Camping was so-so, but the kayak and river was amazing!

Tomy Lamontagne

(Translated) Rustic but very pleasant campsite; we slept in a tipi, it's nice but also very rustic, on the other hand close to the river and in peace it was good. Due to covid we did not have access to the bar or the restaurant and it's a shame it seemed like a perfect place to relax and have a drink. We did the popular (20km) in a canoe on September 9, and it was starting to run out of water at 9m3 of flow, we had to get out of the canoe quite a bit to pull, but overall an experience that I had loved, it's full of stories to tell. Mention A + to the guide (not a guide) who was very nice. I would do it again but with more water and current! (Original) Camping rustique mais très agréable; nous avons dormi en tipi, c'est sympa mais la aussi très rustique, par contre proche de la rivière et au calme c'était bien. Pour cause de covid nous n,avons pas eu accès au bar ou au restaurant et c'est dommage, ça avait l'air d'être un endroit parfait pour relaxer et boire un verre. Nous avons fait la populaire (20km) en canot le 9 septembre, et ça commençait à manquer d'eau à 9m3 de débis, nous avons du pas mal sortir du canot pour tirer, mais dans l'ensemble une expérience que j'ai bien aimé, ça fait pleins d'histoires à raconter. Mention A+ à l'accompagnateur (pas un guide) qui était très sympa. je le referais mais avec plus d'eau et de courant !

Cynthia Leitner

(Translated) I loved my kayaking experience. The water in the river is very clear & the bottom of the water is made up of beautiful colored rocks. Small rapids along the way add a pleasant challenge during the descent. I highly recommend! (Original) J'ai adoré mon expérience en kayak. L'eau de la rivière est très claire & le fond de l'eau est constitué de belles roches colorées. Les petites rapides en chemin ajoutent un défi agréable pendant la descente. Je recommande fortement!

Jeremie Savaria

(Translated) The campsite is in serious need of maintenance. The wooded campsites are ok without better. There are random events with really loud music being heard throughout the site. And they dare to mention that we must not make too much noise in the evening and morning. Whenever there is something wrong and it is mentioned to the staff, they refer to the website which apparently has all the information. The only interesting point is the activities on the river. I do not recommend anyone to come and sleep or relax (Original) Le camping est en manque d'entretien sérieux. Les sites de camping boisé sont correct sans mieux. Il y a des évènements aléatoire avec de la musique vraiment trop forte qui est entendu a grandeur du site. Et ils osent faire mention qu'il faut ne pas faire trop de bruit le soir et matin. A chaque fois qu'il y a quelque chose de pas correct et que c'est mentionné au personnel, ils font référence au site web qui a apparemment toute l'information Le seul point intéressant est les activités sur la rivière. Je ne recommande a personne de venir y dormir ou relaxer

Wonderful place yo do all kinds of activities

(Translated) Very nice experience, from the online reservation to the return shuttle. The employees, every step of the way (even the online chat), are helpful and friendly. The 8km descent is magnificent but too short! (1h20 without break). I go back without fail next year! (Original) Très belle expérience, de la réservation en ligne jusqu'à la navette du retour. Les employés, à chaque étape de l'aventure (même le clavardage en ligne), sont serviables et sympathiques. La descente de 8km est magnifique mais trop courte ! (1h20 sans pause). J'y retourne sans faute l'an prochain !

Nice camping spot for nature lover. Some sector of the camping are only accessible by foot which remove car traffic on site

Frans Sanders

Nice activity with family buy was not worth 200$ to go down the River, a very quit River… But The River was nice !

Leota Kruse

Very upsetting customer service. We had reserved online for a camping site, and we had really not liked it. The sites were way too packed together with very little privacy. Not recommended for a couple trying to spend a little weekend tent camping getaway together. The customer service agent did not want to refund our money and would not reason with us. We had taken a cancellation insurance and it was still a big problem to get a refund. However, for the canoe/kayak trips, everyone that had just finished it looked happy.
