One of the best zip-lining treks in the area. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a thrill.1 hour drive from Ottawa (downtown).

This is our second time zip lining excursion and I think that our first experience was so good, that this one paled in comparison.The positives of Arbraska in Rigaud were that the courses were fun and the best thing of all was the 5 zip line course. That one course was truly amazing. I must say that the on course staff were awesome too. They are very helpful, positive and encouraging! My girlfriend wasn't sure about the whole experience and they encouraged her to keep going after she wanted to give up. She ended up doing 3 of the courses and thoroughly enjoyed her day. So thank you Oiseau and Monkey!The negatives were A) There were way too many people at one time. Our group of 13 split up and all of us experienced line ups and wait times in the trees, no matter which course we went on. Since reservations are required, they should manage the amount of people that arrive at the same time and limit the number of people participating at once. B) The helmets they provide are really smelly, to the point that it distracts you during the entire time in the trees because of the body odor smell, emanating from these helmets. And they should provide disposable nets for your hair. We couldn't wait to get these things off our heads.C) On the most difficult course, there were young children without adult supervision, doing the course. I saw one girl holding both of her carabiners in her hand while walking on a platform and manoeuvring herself around a climbing wall. My husband was stuck behind these kids and they were so small, that they couldn't complete the course without help from the guide. It took over an hour and a half to complete this course, because of the kids always getting stuck and having to be rescued. By the time my husband finished it, the staff wouldn't let him on the 5 zip line course because it was 6:00pm, even though it wasn't his fault that it took 1.5 hours to complete this course! This really isn't right. These kids should not be allowed on the more difficult courses without parents and there should be some way to get them down if they do end up not being able to complete it in a reasonable amount of time. Even for safety reasons, they shouldn't be allowed on this course. There should be a guide at the beginning, monitoring who can and can't participate on the more difficult courses.D) Our first experience at zip lining, the company provided gloves. I think that this would be a good idea for this company too. Not only is it much more sanitary, but you would save your hands from a lot of blisters and cuts. Arbraska allows you to buy gloves, but if I knew they didn't provide gloves, I would have brought some for the group. At $2.50 for 13 people, it would have been quite an expensive added expense. So we went without gloves but our hands paid the price.So, if this is going to be your first zip lining experience, you will enjoy yourself! But, you are at the mercy of the unsupervised people in front of you. And if they can't complete the course, you won't either.And I would definitely recommend that you start with the 5 zip line course, so you don't miss out. My poor hubby and son were so disappointed that they didn't get on it after my daughters and I were gushing about how awesome it was. Too bad we didn't know beforehand, that this is the course you should start with.

Je me'explique d'emblée sur le "difficile d'accès" et précise que nous venions en transports en commun de Montréal. Sur le site d'Abraska, il est indiqué qu'il "suffit" de prendre un train puis un bus pour arriver. Malheureusement nous étions hors saison (28 septembre) et un samedi. Pas de bus. L'Arbraska est quand même à une trentaine de km de la gare la plus proche. Heureusement nous avons fait du stop, ce qui a pas mal fonctionné mais prévoir 25min de marche à partir de l'endroit où vous aurait déposé le bus. Pour le site lui-même, l'équipe est excellente, disponible, à l'écoute et vous conseille. Les parcours sont plus dificiles que ceux de France (pour ceux que j'ai pratiqués). Cetains "jeux" sont très drôles, les tyroliennes très présentes. Malheureusement nous n'avons pas pu tester les grandes tyroliennes par manque de temps dû à notre temps de parcours incertain pour le retour. Très bon site d'activité mais mieux vaut y aller en voiture, car un peu loin de tout.

Amazing. What an excellent experience! Longest ziplines in Canada! Very safe, staff is always safety-focused, and they really explain everything during the training session. Some of the ziplines are very high (so if you may not like heights...) but again, they are VERY safe, and they tell you exactly what to do to have a great time. Less than an hour west of Montreal. I go every year! There is also a Junior side where younger kids can have the same fun if they are not old enough!

We went to do the aerial course and it was so much fun! The training and safety instructions are brief but effective and the courses are really challenging (especially for people with short legs) Have fun with it!

Les parcours et le personnel étaient vraiment extra. Les super tyroliennes ont rendues mes enfants accros. Ils en auraient refait jusqu'à la tombée de la nuit si ça n'en avait été que d'eux.Si vous comptez faire les parcours plus avancés, apportez des gants protecteurs et du chasse moustique, mais ils en vendent sur place.Le seul reproche que je fais: est au sujet des parcours les plus avancés: au niveau de l'agilité physique mon fils aurait pu facilement les faire, mais la distance entre les cables étaient telle qu'il lui aurait fallu mesurer un bon 15 cm de plus pour y parvenir. Il y aurait surement eu la possibilité de faire des parcours plus exigeants que ceux accessibles aux moins grands, qui sont souvent plus agiles que nous leurs parents...

We had loads of fun. Most of the zip line courses are mixed with "games" or obstacle courses in the treetops, to get you from tree to tree. I prefer just the zip lines, and there is indeed a course with 5 of them, quite long in length. I recommend bringing or buying gloves, since I grip the cables enough to get blisters on my hands.

I bought 2 Tuango coupons and decided to use them up but with the May iffy weather, I was only able to use them on the first day of June. Even though on that day it was forecasted 70% of thunderstorm, we only had rain when we drove there but not a single drop during our scheduled reservation time.My coupons were limited to the Aerial Courses, where you have ½ hour of instruction and 3 hours of fun. With time, you get the hang of how to attach and unattach your carabiners or set up your pulley for zip lines. I found the zip lining much easier than the aerial games that involves balance logs, cable traverses, suspended bridges, etc. I had so much fun.The guides were super patient with beginners like me and even helped me finish the Eureka course when I was having difficulty reaching the platform in the last obstacle. There are picnic tables if you want to have a late lunch after your Arbraska experience or take a break. Do bring mosquito repellent and half finger gloves that allow you dexterity to open and close your carabiners. The ones sold on site ($2.50) made it difficult to manipulate the carabiners and always got stuck in them. I wish they sold better gloves there.I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely return again.

My teens and I have been here a couple of times and had a great time. The courses are challenging but do-able. It's great outdoor fun and the zip lining is the cherry on the sundae. The guides are helpful and patient. We always wear cheap cotton medical gloves to avoid blisters. Do it! Have fun!

We had such an amazing time! We did the night zip lining with a group of 8 women. Only 4 of us did the whole thing (1 had a panic attack and had to be brought down, 2 felt it was too difficult and 1 just wasnt enjoying the height). The rest of us who stayed on had a fantastic time and I would do it again in a heart beat!
