FAQ
Do you have any questions?
This FAQ will surely answer one of them. If you have any others, do not hesitate to contact us, one of our travel consultants will be happy to answer you.
s What is a multi-activities tour?
We use the term Auto tour because it is a package that takes place in complete AUTONOMY, including a framework defined by your favorite activity producer: Équinox Aventure. This package also allows you to rent a car.
s Where can I pick up the rental car?
At the two main entry points in Quebec and the airport located in Saguenay:
- Montreal Airport (YUL)
- Quebec Airport (YQB)
- Bagotville Airport (YBG)
s Are the tours guided?
Most yes. Being an independent package, we make it a point of honor that you meet as many experts in the region as possible.
Listen carefully, you risk perceiving more or less exotic accents!
s How many kilometers does a car ride represent on average?
It depends on how many activities you choose and where they are located.
Namely that the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region covers 98,713 km², three times the size of Belgium. Said like that, it's huge!
But be aware that we have selected accommodation close to each activity and that at most you will travel 2 hours by car to get from one point to another.

s Not to be forgotten in my suitcases
In summer
- Mosquito repellent is essential for outdoor activities.
- Sunscreen of course.
- Not much more to save space in your luggage to bring back lots of memories!
In winter
The principle of multi-layers is the key word in Quebec to enjoy playing outside when the mercury is below 0.
- 1st layer: Prioritize clothes close to the body in technical sports fabric or Merino wool (we forget cotton because it absorbs perspiration and does not dry, so you risk getting cold).
- 2nd Layer: Add a slightly wider layer that lets your heat out and stays between your first layer and this one.
- 3rd layer: Cover yourself with a fleece or bring out the good grandmother's woolen sweater.
- Last layer: Obviously the coat and ski pants.
- The extremities: The most important thing to cover!
- A neck warmer and a hat, or a hood.
- Mittens to keep the fingers warm. (Little trick, in Quebec they sell reusable or disposable “hot packs” that can be slipped into gloves or stuck under socks to add comfortable warmth.).
- Merino wool socks, not too thick either to avoid being too tight in your shoes and having cold feet afterwards.
- Footwear such as waterproof and insulated ski or walking boots.
s What taxes are applicable to the purchase of a package ?
Our products are subject to the federal goods and services tax (GST, 5%), Quebec sales taxes (QST, 9.975%), the tax on lodging (3.5% per night in lodging) as well a contribution to the compensation fund for clients of travel agents (Ficav, 0.35%) which is subject to the discount applicable since January 1, 2019.
