Great experience with Andre and Alex. Did the 1/2 day tour which was a perfect amount of time given the temperature. Met at 9am at Andre’s house, met the dogs, got a safety brief and signed some waivers, then watched Alex and Andre load the dogs up for a short drive to the entrance of the trails where the sleds were unloaded and set up. Before we left the house, Andre and Alex convinced us to rent some boots (5$ a pair) which was very fortunate. If your boots don’t have insulated soles, your feet are going to freeze so just rent the boots. It’s very cheap and will let you enjoy the ride way more. Trail was great and we did about a 15km loop with Andre in a lead sleigh, and Alex bringing up the back. I was with my gf and had originally wanted our own sleigh, but we ended up sharing which I prefer now looking back at it. The dogs are strong and the extra weight helps you control them, PLUS it’s fun to be able to chat as a couple while you do the sleigh ride, would have been slightly lonely on my own sleigh!!! Switched “driver” halfway through and we both had no problem controlling the sleigh. I was a little hesitant going into the trip due to some of the comments I’d seen so I will just speak on that quickly too. Some people have commented about negative attitudes in the guiding, but this wasn’t a problem in any way on our trip. Andre is literally just a really nice guy with interesting stories to tell about his dogs and business and if you’re interested in what you’re doing he’s gonna be interested in sharing it with you. Alex was very helpful to show us how to harness up the dogs and kept us on track and on schedule for what we were doing. They are both direct in what they say and I guess I can see how some people could take that personally but their intentions are clearly good and for the clients to share in an experience that they enjoy.

What a beautiful experience!! André, the owner and our guide showed us his much achieved experience with dog sledding, his love for his dogs and the love of the sport. André, enthusiastic, funny and so welcoming, made us feel part of the “gang” right away!!. André educated us on the dogs, the sport and the respect of his animals. As horse owners, we understood right away how important this is, in this type of ride! Thank you André (and your employees) for this beautiful adventure!! Loved it!! Manon et Luc ❤️

(Translated by Google) Great day! We were there from about 9am to 3pm and the experience was very pleasant. André is super friendly and his dogs are powerful and listens extremely well. Never need to raise your voice on dogs, they listen in a normal voice. A great course that allows you to appreciate the landscape and have small challenges. We each had our own sled and it was as we wanted. We were able to fully enjoy the experience and recommend it. (Original) Super journée ! Nous avons été là de environ 9h à 15h et l'expérience fut très agréable. André est super sympathique et ses chiens sont puissants et l'écoute extrêmement bien. Jamais besoin de hausser le ton sur les chiens, ils écoutent à voix normale. Un super parcours qui permet d'apprécier le paysage et d'avoir de petits défis. Nous avions chacun notre traîneau et c'était comme l'on souhaitait. Nous avons pu profiter pleinement de l'expérience et nous recommandons.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely stunning! We were a group of 6, mixed in winter and everything went very well with the sled dogs. Alex explained to us well the language to communicate with the dogs and how the sled works. We had no accidents. I recommend! (Original) Absolument magnifique! On était un groupe de 6, mixte en hiver et tout c'est très bien déroulé avec les chiens de traîneau.

(Translated by Google) March 2022 Saturday, it's stormy, and we have a meeting with André and his dogs. A daylong dog sledding trip with "Descente Malbaie" in the Charlevoix backcountry. Warmly welcomed by André and his teammate Alex, we are prepared for the winter experience we are about to experience and then introduced to the pack of dogs. Magnificent beasts who only want to drag us along with them. The trip takes place in a friendly atmosphere and in the total complicity of the guide and his dogs. Throughout the day, we feel the love and respect that master André has for his dogs and their loyalty to him. The landscape is majestic, and our sled glides silently over a carpet of immaculate whiteness. Thank you, André and Alex, for this exciting experience, which will surely not be the last. Geneviève, Suzanne, Romain, and Fernand (Original) Mars 2022 Samedi, il fait tempête, on a un rendez-vous avec André et ses chiens. Une randonnée d’une journée avec « Descente Malbaie » en traîneau à chiens dans l’arrière pays de Charlevoix. Accueillis chaleureusement par André et son co-équipier Alex, on nous prépare à l’expérience hivernale que l’on s’apprête à vivre et on nous présente ensuite la meute de chiens. De magnifiques bêtes qui ne veulent que nous entraîner à leur trousse. La randonnée se déroule dans une ambiance amicale et dans la totale complicité du guide et de ses chiens. On ressent tout au long de la journée l’amour et le respect du maître André pour ses chiens et la loyauté de ceux-ci envers lui. Le paysage est majestueux et notre traîneau glisse en silence sur un tapis d’une blancheur immaculée. Merci André et Alex pour cette excitante expérience qui ne sera sûrement pas la dernière. Geneviève, Suzanne, Romain et Fernand

(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful morning with Alexandre and Jeanne. We were with just one other couple and we were able to take control of the sled without difficulty for the first time! It was very pleasant to feel free throughout the ride. Thank you for this moment in the company of your dogs 🐺 (Original) Nous avons passé une superbe matinée en compagnie d'Alexandre et Jeanne. Nous étions avec un autre couple seulement et nous avons pu prendre les commandes du traineau sans difficulté pour une première fois ! C'était très agréable de se sentir libre durant toute la balade. Merci pour ce moment en compagnie de vos chiens 🐺

(Translated by Google) A museum that you can feel, that you can sense. The visit is incredible, between memories, anecdotes, and stories of a life... Many will get lost here. A detour is essential.

(Translated by Google) A fabulous adventure into the past, that of this log driver. I loved Robert, I thank him for this fabulous museum. A thousand thanks for this fabulous collection. We can be small in size but very great in spirit. (Original) Une fabuleuse aventure dans le passé que celle de ce draveur. J ai adoré Robert, je le remercie pour ce fabuleux musée.

Al A — Google review

(Translated by Google) A visit not to be missed. First of all, to hear and learn about the profession and life of loggers with a former logger who is fascinating and very friendly. He also wants his museum to be a living place so children (and parents) can touch and climb aboard the machines!! In short, don't hesitate to go and visit and make a donation to keep this museum alive! (Original) Une visite à ne pas rater. Tout d abord pour entendre et connaître le métier et la vie des draveurs avec un ancien draveur passionnant et très sympathique. Aussi il veut son musée vivant donc les enfants (et les parents) peuvent toucher et monter à bord des engins!! Bref n hésitez pas aller y faire un passage et un don pour continuer à faire vivre ce musée !

Fabien D — Google review

(Translated by Google) It was nice to have someone who had done the log drive explain his job to us in its entirety. It's a place not to be missed if you're in Charlevoix. (Original) Agréable d'avoir une personne qui a fait la drave et nous expliquer son métier dans tout son ensemble. C'est un endroit à ne pas oublier si vous êtes en Charlevoix.

Suzie L — Google review

(Translated by Google) A great magical place with an atypical character full of life, who will show you his museum entirely made and maintained by himself, not to be missed. 👍 (Original) Un lieu magique génial avec un personnage atypique plien de vie, qui vous fait découvrir son musée entièrement fait et entretenu par lui même, à ne surtout pas manquer. 👍

Beautiful Falls! A must see when driving the Gaspe Peninsula Loop. While you're at it, hike down below to get a perspective of how high the falls actually is. Awesome place during fall season as well, we visited here Oct. 2019

Gardner S — Google review

Great experience, our guide Marianne was friendly, knowledgeable and had a great approach with my son who is a bit afraid of heights. The site is gorgeous and the via ferrata is fun. The zipline is really fun

Olivier D — Google review

The waterfall is very beautiful (especially with the amount of water we had on our visit). The lookout platform is amazing! The path to go down is very well kept with 200+ steps and some benches for taking breaks. About 2 min walk to the lookout and a few more going down the stairs.

Alain L — Google review

Great place to visit. There are nice picnic tables for a quick picnic. I did not mountain bike but I think it would be a nice place to ride. We hiked to the bottom of the falls. It was a very well maintained trail with a combination of stairs and step features. The glass floor and over look were very nice. It moves when people walked on it so it’s a little frightening. But provides great views. Definietly recommended a stop here if you are near this area.

Dave B — Google review

Beautiful spot only a 2 minute walk from parking lot. About 5 minutes off the highway, definitely worth the spot. Breath taking views! It’s also free and they have water stations and bathrooms :)

Jessica R — Google review

Great place to stop if in the area or passing through! Great view of the waterfall on a cool lookout platform. Small/medium parking lot but there was no one there when I went (end of sept).

Alanna — Google review

Really cool stop along our tour of the Gaspésie Peninsula! We heard about this place, and although it's about 10 mins off the main highway, we thought it was absolutely worth it! There didn't seem to be an admission to get in to walk on the elevated platform (shocking!), which was really cool! We did the staircase hike down to the base of the waterfall, which was rather steep and angled intensely---not for those with reduced mobility or difficulties! The rocks at the bottom of the falls are jagged and slippery (obviously!), so be cautious with children and dogs! BATHROOMS CLOSED DUE TO COVID!

Meghan — Google review

It was worth the detour! We saw signs and followed them. This natural site was of the beaten path but we are happy we took the trip. A beautiful waterfall with a stream running away from it greets you at the bottom of a relatively steep walk down. There are stopping points which are definitely more useful on the way back up. Lots of parking, it’s free, but watch out for bees nearby.
