About this activity
We meet our local tour guide at the Motel Ile d'Orleans, close to the island's bridge. Upon arrival, we'll get a detailed safety introduction and we may try our electric bike on the parking lot.
Your electric bike is shaped like a Fat Bike, with large tires and a heavy frame for more stability on the road. The powerful electric assistance supports you up to a speed of 24 km/h / 15 mi/h - You never had so much fun cycling up a hill!
Once ready to go, our small group follows the guide on the road's large and secure shoulder, as there is no bike path on Ile d'Orleans. Our tour is about 20 km / 12.5 mi and will take about 3 hours, leading us to the island's most beautiful village..
Our first stop is a local fruits farm. We'll taste the famous Strawberries of Ile d'Orleans, known all over Canada, and learn about agriculture, a very important aspect of the island's economy.
We'll visit the Italian Gardens of Porteous' Manor, built in 1898. Our guide will underline the important role this building played in history and share some fascinating details. You are very welcome to ask questions.
Heading further, we reach the chocolaterie in the village's heart. Here, we'll take a break from cycling and stroll on the river's banks, enjoying the fantastic view on Quebec City and some home-made chocolate.
On our way back, we'll taste some of the island's best wines at a classy local winery overlooking the Montmorency waterfalls. Take plenty of fabulous pictures!
Upon return at the Motel Ile d'Orleans, you may sit and relax on the sunny terrace, enjoying local beers and a light meal. You'll leave beautiful Ile d'Orleans with long lasting memories of a fun and active day!
On our way back, we'll stop at a vineyard, taste some local wines and enjoy the beautiful scenery!
