7 Quebec City Waterfall Tours to Book This Year

1.Half-Day Trip to Montmorency Falls and Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré from Quebec city

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,718 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $70Our pick

From Old Quebec, ride along the Beaupré Coast to Montmorency Falls, Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica, Île d’Orléans, Albert Gilles Copper Art & Museum, and a local chocolaterie. Guides such as Martin and Daniel add local stories and humor. The four-and-a-half-hour schedule is convenient, but stop times are short, especially at the falls.

“It was a fun trip! I was a little concerned about the heavy, just-fallen snow, but the driver was very careful and obviously very experienced. And by going in the winter we arrived at the falls in the dark—magical!”

2.Montmorency Falls with Cable Car Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,392 reviews · 1 day · from $19Best value

Visit Parc de la Chute-Montmorency for a full day of waterfall views, trails, and a round-trip cable car ride.

The site is wheelchair accessible, and the $19 ticket includes park admission and cable car access.

“Didn’t have to wait in line too long (probably because it’s Fall), the trip was nice and very scenic. Attendants were polite. The cars do get quite full, there were maybe 25 people inside, would’ve been worse in the summer heat. It’s a good price, I spent 3h wandering about and enjoying the views.”
