This place is worth visiting, first went with a tour, but there was little time we had to enjoy this beautiful place so we decided to go back on our own. We took the 800 bus that took us to the park, is the last stop on the bus and this for the top of the falls which allowed us... More

Nice place to get out and do some walking. Parking alone costs $11 so plan accordingly. The falls are pretty spectacular and there's a boardwalk, bridge and path one can take that goes over the top side and then down stairs to a path on the far side.

Saw the falls on a tour. They were amazing but we didn't get enough time to thoroughly enjoy them. If I return, I would do the falls on my own rather than take a tour so that I could totally enjoy the day at my leisure.

Beau a toute saison ... français anglais arabe In spring it is the raw water ... Fall is big ... In the summer the park and getting wet in the fall it's fun. The fall colors all around! One can observe the full color orleans island. Beautiful ... Winter just slide on the mound created before falling in a natural... More

Save your money and time... you can see this great waterfall from the highway. It was $11 to park our car and then additional costs to take the cable car to the top. Very pretty- but you can see it all from the highway. Go to Canyon Ste. Anne instead, less money and you truly experience the waterfall!

Don't make the mistake of missing out on this attraction while you're in the area. It's super close to Quebec city and very easy to get to. The pictures don't do it justice, so don't skim over this location while planning your trip. A few pointers, if you're planning on going. EAT BEFORE AND BRING YOUR OWN DRINK. I payed... More

There is a comfortable wooden walkway from Manoir Montmorency to the Falls, excellent poins where you can make pictures, the bridge over the falls you may be scared to walk. When we approached the other side of the canyon, we saw a beautiful rainbow above the river. This is an excellent place to visit while you are in Quebec city.

A definite place to stop as the high falls splash down amid multiple rainbows. The walking paths are in excellent condition and allow you to walk up one side of the falls and down the other. The gondola for the return was not in service the day we visited. There are well designed observation spots and a walking bridge right... More

Well worth the side trip from Quebec City. An accessible natural wonder. The province is meticulous with their maintenance. Gondola ride was efficient with gorgeous view of falls and pond. Nice boardwalk to falls, and good trails on other side of bridge.

this is an area that you must put on your agenda when visiting Quebec. close to the city you can also rent bicycles and ride to this location. It will take you 90 minutes round trip of riding. Pack a lunch it will make for a memorable day.
