Frequently asked questions

How intense are the rapids on the Matawin River?
The tour is classified as "Occasionally sporty", so expect stretches of genuine whitewater mixed with calmer sections. It's not a beginner float trip, but it doesn't require prior rafting experience either.
How long does the experience actually last?
The full outing runs 6 hours, which includes time on the water, safety briefing and logistics at the meeting point in Trois-Rives.
What's the most intense moment of the run?
The Matawin River's strongest rapids typically hit mid-run, when the current tightens and the raft accelerates through narrower canyon sections. That's the moment most paddlers remember.
Is prior rafting experience required?
No. The "Occasionally sporty" level means the trip is accessible to first-timers who are reasonably fit and comfortable getting wet.

Equipment

Wear a swimsuit or quick-dry shorts under your wetsuit, and bring a dry change of clothes for after. For a 6-hour occasionally sporty day on the water, closed-toe water shoes with grip are essential since sandals won't stay on in a rapid.

Getting there

Head to Coop Aventures Matawin at 219 chemin de la Matawin, Trois-Rives, QC, roughly 90 minutes north of Trois-Rivières via Route 155.
