Survival gear is not included in the cost of the journey but can be rented out; it will be waiting for you at departure point. Life vests, a survival raft and a survival dry suit are mandatory.
Rental fees:
$7.00 per day for a life vest
$25.00 per day for the raft
For the survival dry suit, I recommend ones made in England which are a lot easier and more comfortable to wear. We will handle the arrangements and have them available for pick up in Quebec City. The cost for the journey is $325.
