Cyclo Services Day Tours offers a standout outdoor adventure just outside Québec City: a scenic journey to Montmorency Falls, an impressive natural landmark rising 83 meters above the St. Lawrence River. Starting in downtown Québec, participants embark on a leisurely 25-kilometer roundtrip bike ride along diverse terrain, crossing the St-Charles River and entering the Domaine de Maizerets, a historic urban park rich with greenery that contrasts beautifully with the rugged falls. This trip blends active exploration with immersive natural encounters, with both traditional city bikes and electric-assist options available.
The crown jewel of the adventure is Montmorency Falls itself—a thunderous cascade taller than Niagara Falls, set against a backdrop of dense forest and the vast blue of the river and Orleans Island. Upon arrival, riders park their bikes and ascend the cliffside via cable car, gaining panoramic views of the powerful falls and the nearby Manoir Montmorency, an 18th-century Governor’s residence that anchors this site in Québec’s colonial history.
Guests follow a well-maintained boardwalk and cross a suspended bridge, immersing themselves in the raw power and spray of the falls, an unforgettable multisensory experience. The walkways provide safe vantage points ideal for photography and quiet appreciation. This trip stands out because it balances moderate physical challenge with accessibility, making it suitable for families and first-time riders interested in historic, cultural, and natural highlights bundled in a half-day excursion.
