The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a refillable water bottle
River-facing winds and steady pedaling make hydration important—refill stations are limited on the South Shore.
Dress in layers
Morning and afternoon winds off the St. Lawrence can be cool even on warm days—carry a light windbreaker.
Secure your camera
Ferry decks and exposed viewpoints are windy—use a strap or a small dry bag to protect gear.
Know basic e-bike controls
Familiarize yourself with throttle and pedal-assist levels during the pre-ride briefing to conserve battery and ride smoothly.

The ferry link between Québec City and Lévis is one of North America’s oldest continuous crossings, connecting the colonial capital to its agricultural and shipbuilding hinterland.
