Sail with the Wind
Quebec’s bodies of water are perfect for experiencing the freedom that sailing provides. But if you prefer to stay on land, try kitesurfing, a fun activity that lets you play with the wind. In both cases, you’ll have a magical experience in harmony with nature.

Top 3 Tips for a Successful Experience
1- Respect Nature
Quebec offers a generous nature that provides an almost instant sense of freedom. However, outdoor activities put some pressure on natural environments. On your next excursion, ensure you respect the people you meet, the environment, and the animals around you, as well as the guidelines of the places you visit.
To enjoy this wealth for as long as possible and promote harmonious coexistence, also adopt the seven Leave No Trace principles. This will help protect natural environments, wildlife, and flora.
Discover Responsible Practices
Some businesses in our network have committed to donating 1% of their sales to the 1% for the Planet Outdoor Fund. Each year, the funds collected are given to Quebec organizations working to protect local nature. By choosing a committed company, you contribute to more responsible tourism.
Want to get closer to nature? Explore the activities offered by companies with Ecotourism attestation. In addition to enjoying an eco-friendly experience, you’ll support the adherence to rigorous sustainability standards.
