In short, XPXP offers guided canoe-camping expeditions on the wild rivers of the Laurentians, Charlevoix, and as far as the borders of Eeyou Istchee / James Bay. Immerse yourself in breathtaking landscapes, thrilling rapids, and silent lakes surrounded by immense forests, such as on the Broadback, Malbaie, Lièvre, Du Sourd, Désert, Bazin, Gens de Terre, and de l'Aigle rivers, far from everything, in the heart of Quebec's most exotic nature. The perfect experience for those who love the wilderness and want to completely disconnect.
XPXP means small, limited groups, led by experienced guides who are familiar with these rivers, strategic shelters, and the best sunset spots. Canoe and camping equipment included.
Enjoy the XPXP experience and go on a real multi-day expedition, off the beaten track, where the rhythm of the river dictates your days and where every evening, around the fire, nature reminds us of how rare and precious all this is.
