Must do - unique Quebec activity
This is a fantastic way to see a bit more of Quebec. François is a brilliant tour guide and the goats are exactly as you'll would imagine - fun, friendly, and always stopping to eat ferns! The scenery is stunning and the picnic was amazing. 100% recommend this amazing, unique experience.

Unique experience, well worth it.
It was a very unique and fun experience. The guide was very friendly, and he was pretty unrestricted in terms of us walking with the goats wherever we liked. It was a fun experience and great to be outdoors as well. Highly recommend for a peaceful yet fun adventure.

Who knew trekking with goats could be so much fun?
We had a great hike through the beautiful Québec woods with François, his German Shepard Luna, and the goats: Theo, Buzz, Sven, Forrest, and Shadow. I was truly impressed by how the beavers had reshaped the landscape by building a dam on a small stream and creating a large pond. We were encouraged to lead the goats on the hike; of course, they actually knew where they were going and led us! François had brought lunch for us – beef/moose stew, locally-brewed beer, strawberries, and brownies his daughter had baked. All were yummy.

Who knew hiking with goats could be this much fun!
We hiked with Francois and his assistant, goats and dog this past Sunday, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had 5 goats in our party, and the dog is amazing at shepherding the goats and checking on all the people. In addition to learning about the goats, who all had differing personalities, we also learned about beavers and their damn, fish and fishing birds, general ecological considerations, and a bit about bears (claw marks on trees!). Lunch was served just a bit past halfway in our walk, and in our case was a delicious stew, served with sparkling water and beer. A very enjoyable experience!

lovely walk
Pretty easy walk; the beginning is a bit uphill but it levels off afterwards. The goats are wonderful, funny, and is a joy to walk with

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Goat Hiking, Beaver Dam Visit and picnic in Quebec forest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.
How much does Goat Hiking, Beaver Dam Visit and picnic in Quebec forest cost?
+
Prices start at $77 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 Goat Hiking, Beaver Dam Visit and picnic in Quebec forest take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Goat Hiking, Beaver Dam Visit and picnic in Quebec forest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 313 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Quebec City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Goat Hiking, Beaver Dam Visit and picnic in Quebec forest?
+
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 Goat Hiking, Beaver Dam Visit and picnic in Quebec forest suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Goat Hiking, Beaver Dam Visit and picnic in Quebec forest?
+
Around 110 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Goat Hiking, Beaver Dam Visit and picnic in Quebec forest 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.
