More information
Imagine gliding across Lac Tremblant aboard Le Grand Manitou as your Captain points out landmarks along the 12-kilometre shoreline. The route covers more than half the lake and offers clear sightlines to Tremblant resort and the mountain, good spots to grab a photo along the way.
Throughout the 60 minutes, you’ll hear stories about the lake and the village of Mont-Tremblant, how the shoreline and the community have changed over the years, who has called it home, and what lives in and around the water. You’ll also pick up a few things about the local wildlife and plant life along the way. The cruise runs during the warmer months and requires no physical effort from participants.
Passengers who reserve in advance are guaranteed a seat if they arrive at the boat by the meeting time indicated in the reservation email, and will be assigned seats on a first-come-first-served basis at boarding time, which is just before departure. We recommend arriving even before the meeting time for those who want better seats. The cruise boat cannot wait and there are no refunds for no-shows or latecomers.
Drinks are available for purchase on board during the cruise. We also welcome groups on our regular departures or you can reserve the entire boat for a private event: a lunch, cocktail hour, office gathering, or evening supper. Contact us to talk through the options.
Who is this for

It’s a great fit for families, couples, and groups who want to take in the lake, hear a bit of local history, and enjoy an hour on the water. Children are welcome with an accompanying adult.
