What payment modalities do you accept?

How early do we need to make reservations?
It depends what you are reserving. If we are talking lodging, a month is required. For the months of july and august, reservations during the winter months are not uncommon. A week in advanced is enough for the one day activities. You might even get lucky by calling the day before...

Concerning long-term packages, the reservations can be taken two weeks prior to departure, but the ideal time for these reservations is march, april and may.

As far as the campground goes, it is full 7 days a week, but a 3 day reservation is usually sufficient. Although you have the right to play it safe!

Do you have swimming accessibility?
Yes, from the tipi area, you can access the river and enjoy sunbathing. A large flat rock starts on the shore and gradually sinks into the water. It is not very deep, therefore it would be quite secure near the shore. This area can satisfy even the more experimented swimmers.

Do you have a lifeguard on shore?
No, although during our guided activities, we have accredited guides looking out for the entire group.

What are your refund policies?
At the time of reservation, we ask a deposit of 30% of the total cost. 45 days before the activity, the balance is required. A cancellation insurance is available at the cost of 10% of the total amount of you bill. If a cancellation occurs, the only amount kept by Cime Aventure will be the 10%.

Acceptable cancellation delays are as follow:

Activities for a period of 24 hours and less: We will refund any activity that is canceled prior to 6pm the day before the departure.
Activities for periods over 24 hours: We will refund any activity canceled at least 5 days prior to the departure.
Lodging: We will refund any lodging providing it's canceled before 1pm on the day which the reservation begins.

Are you opened year round?
We are presently developing winter packages for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. These should be available by winter of 2003. We will then be open only on reservations and for long term packages as well as for specifically designed group packages.

Is there a cab service in Bonaventure?
Yes !
