Quatre-Natures adventure creator

Why the name “Quatre Natures”
We are often asked where the company name comes from and why we chose it. It’s actually quite simple.
Four Natures are:
• the four cardinal points: north, south, east and west; who guide us during excursions on land and sea
• the four seasons, which allow us to experience the magic of changing landscapes and allow us varied activities throughout the year
• the four elements that make up the universe: earth, water, air and fire; these elements which offer us the most beautiful playground there is, nature and its wide open spaces

Quatre Natures is an invitation to the discoveries that await us at every moment and in every place we visit.

Our story
Founded in 2016, Quatre Natures has been organizing sea kayak excursions on Île d’Orléans since its very beginnings.
Over time, different day activities have been added, including guided hiking, snowshoeing, Nordic skiing and snowshoeing, and winter camping in Jacques-Cartier National Park, as well as longer canoe-camping and kayaking trips in Georgian Bay and Mingan Islands National Park.
For several years, Quatre Natures has also offered a shuttle service from Old Quebec to Jacques-Cartier National Park. Likewise, our agency provides you with a multitude of all-season outdoor equipment for rental to allow you to experience your adventures at lower costs, without having to own all the required equipment.
Finally, since the summer of 2022, Quatre Natures has offered a unique view of Île d’Orléans and Quebec City thanks to its zodiac boat excursions.
