Absolu ÉcoAventure

Are you looking for a customized guided adventure?

Absolu ÉcoAventure specializes in guided hikes. We offer 2- to 5-day hikes for small groups on the International Appalachian Trail (IAT) in Gaspésie National Park. Our affordable packages include baggage transportation from hut to hut, which transforms what would be a tough physical challenge into an activity that is accessible to less experienced hikers. Hikes last for 4 to 6 hours a day on variable terrain with some slopes and cover an average of 13 km (8 mi.) per day.

All our packages also include supervision and guidance, various types of interpretation, accommodations in huts in the park and quality meals prepared by your guides as well as some equipment and transportation. Our healthy menus feature local fare. Our local guides comply with the standards of Aventure Écotourisme Québec (AEQ) and follow the Leave No Trace principles. All activities are offered to a minimum of two participants and a maximum of eight.

To accommodate individual interests, we offer customized packages inspired by nature and culture for tourists, school groups and businesses. We also offer a variety of services to autonomous hikers on the International Appalachian Trail such as car and baggage transportation and food drops.

The quality of our services is a measure of our respect for our clients. We invite you to come and discover why we guarantee absolute adventures!
