    Lovely experience!

    It’s a 5km hike that’s suitable for active individuals. I got picked up at my selected location which was convenient, then we stopped by at a cafe to grab some food to eat after the hike. During the hike itself, our guide shared lots of information and brought us to beautiful viewpoints to take pictures. While the price is on the higher end, I was more than happy to pay a premium for a smaller group tour as a solo traveller. It gave me more opportunities to chat with the other participants and get to know everyone better. The smaller group also made the tour much more efficient, with less time spent waiting around and smoother transitions between stops. As a result, we even had some extra time, which our guide used to take us on an additional 20-minute trail. It was a lovely bonus that made the experience even more worthwhile! The busiest season here is in the fall. If you want to catch the foliage for the hike, you should book between end of September and first week of October. The colours change really quickly. Unfortunately, I missed that by a couple days so the trees were already losing their colour. Still beautiful though! And finally, we had the sweetest guide, Anne-Isabelle, who took care of us all the way. I had a great time and would recommend this trip if you are new to hiking and you are visiting Quebec.

    The hike was about 3...

    The hike was about 3 miles long with some up and down. Our guide, Hubert, was incredibly knowledgeable of the geologically and flora.

    Fantastic day of hiking and picnicing

    Wow, what a fantastic day! Picked up at the hotel, driven to an amazing sandwich/pastry shop to self-select a lunch, then off to Jacques Cartier National Park for a beautiful hike. Our guide, Aurelie, was informative and friendly. She gave great tidbits of local knowledge but tempered that with moments of silently enjoying the beauty of the Fall colors. Lunch was delicious and companionable, and we were delivered back to the hotel in a timely manner. I whole-heartedly recommend this experience.

    An excellent guide for a very short tour of the park

    Our guide, Aurelie, picked us up from our lodging and took us to the park, stopping at a place to grab something to eat (which was included in the price). Once at the park, she explained in detail the types of vegetation and animals we could find there. However, the planned tour was quite short and didn’t allow us to fully appreciate the beauty of the park as a whole. A longer tour (for which we were prepared) would have been more appropriate given the price we paid, which we found to be very high.

    A memorable walk!

    Our guide was Aurélie. She arranged to pick me and my party up at our hotel, very convenient. She showed us all types of Laura and told us what to eat and what not. She point to the theee types of maple trees and explained the maple syrup process. We learned about the dangers of the logging industry and how they no longer use the water to move the fallen trees. She pointed out the differences between balsam firs and spruce trees and warned us about the poisonous yews. And then there are the beautiful moss, ferns and fungus. Finally we had this delicious lunch and dessert sitting by the water at the visitor center. It was a beautiful morning. Thank you!

    All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.

    How much does All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quebec City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quebec City is not rushed.

    Is All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Quebec City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quebec City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quebec City and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quebec City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Quebec City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quebec City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular, Uncover Old Quebec: Fun Walking Tour with a guide-Gratuity based, Quebec City Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Quebec City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Quebec City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; Professional guide; Hotel pickup and dropoff; and Admission fees. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park offered in?

    +

    +

    Is All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for travelers with mobility problems. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to All Inclusive Guided Hike To Jacques Cartier National Park if the weather is bad?

    +
