Les Excursions L'Air Du Lac

Les Excursions L'Air Du Lac has been in business for the past 10 years. Our boat is a Pontoon with comfortable padded leather chairs, tables for clients to bring their beverages or snacks. The boat also has a functional bathroom. We offer two types of cruises. The first commentated cruise, which needs to be reserved in advance, called Le Chemin De Croix, leaves everyday at 10am for a duration of 2h30 including a tasting of cheese from L'Abbaye de Saint-Benoit and smoked trout mousse. This cruise makes its way to the monastery of L'Abbaye de Saint-Benoit-du-lac where you get to admire the Monastery from the lake. Since it is our tenth anniversary we offer a 10% discount on Le Chemin De Croix. The second cruise with duration of one hour named La Route Du Monstre is ideal for families. The cruise is commentated on the history of Magog, the lake and the monster. It leaves at multiple times during the day such as 1pm, 2:15pm, 3:30pm and 5pm so reservations are not mandatory. The final option which we offer is a private cruise with our captain that is ideal for anniversaries, marriages or reunions. You can customize the duration of the cruise and choose at what time it leaves which is perfect, if you want to see the sunset on the lake.

Zoo de Granby

Zoo de Granby is one of the major zoos located in Canada and North America’s northeast. It is home to nearly 1,500 animals from over 225 different species.

Reviewed By R2916KTkarenl - Ottawa, Canada

Visited the Granby Zoo in August 2017 with our two children (age 7 and 9). They had a blast. So much to see - definitely recommend buying the two day pass if you intend to also go to the water park because there is too much to see in just one day. The kids loved seeing all the animals and, while there's alot of walking, it's not as much as at the Toronto Zoo. The water park was a welcome chance to cool down after a long walk around the Zoo (kids couldn't get enough of the wave pool!). While I agree with other comments re. the price fo the food, there was a special for dinner after 5:00 p.m. which helped. Also, if your family is really organized (ours is not!), lots of people brought coolers / wagons and had their own picnics (lots of places to sit). The only negative would be that the amusement park section of the Zoo is really for very young children. The only 2 rides for older children were the rollercoaster and pirate ship, both of which you had to pay extra for. Go for the Zoo and water park, if you end up going to the amusement park, that's a bonus.

Mont Orford

Reviewed By Clara1953

We had booked a chair lift to go up to the top of the mountain ahead of time which was wise because the beautiful weather attracted many people. The view from the top was magnificent since the Fall colors were spectacular. They are well organized with parking and safety-minded access to the chair-lifts.

Marais de la Riviere aux Cerises

Situé dans le cœur touristique des Cantons-de-l'Est, entre le parc du Mont-Orford et le lac Memphrémagog, il se laisse découvrir à quelques pas seulement du centre-ville de Magog. Là, sur un territoire de 1,5 km², boisés, marais, marécages et tourbière s'enlacent et engendrent une biodiversité impressionnante. Des centaines d'oiseaux, de mammifères et d'amphibiens trouvent au Marais de quoi se nourrir, s'abriter, chanter et se reproduire durant toute l'année. En plus de son réseau de sentiers accessible à l'année, le Marais de la Rivière aux Cerises vous offre une multitude d'activités tout au long de l'année! Sorties en kayak, expositions dans le centre d'interprétation du Marais, boutique, terrasses, ateliers et conférences, camp de jour scientifique pour les 7 à 13 ans, et bien plus! Les chiens sont acceptés sur les sentiers, mais doivent être tenus en laisse (1,5 mètres) pour la sécurité des usagers et pour préserver le milieu naturel !
