About

Aventure Lac Saint-Jean is an outdoor guiding business based in Roberval, at the heart of Lac Saint-Jean, led by guide and captain Charles Dufour, who has more than 19 years of experience and is certified by Transport Canada. In small, exclusive groups, the company offers ice fishing for walleye, pike and yellow perch (December 20 to March 31) in wood-heated huts equipped with Garmin sonars, with or without a guide; boat fishing for walleye and landlocked salmon (ouananiche) aboard a luxury 26-foot Yamaha pontoon boat departing from the Roberval marina; wild black bear and beaver observation from a purpose-built platform in a private forest, with a good observation rate; historical cruises and private sunset cruises on Lac Saint-Jean; and half-day guided snowmobile tours over a roughly 65 km trail loop. The company emphasizes sustainable development and deliberately limits group sizes to ensure a quality, personalized experience.
