Excellent ride! Unexpected as we were originally planning to do the shorter (and drier) “spin boat” ride and were persuaded by Jack to do the “number 1 ride in Montreal”. As it was 35’c + outside this was the perfect ride to enjoy a good soak and experience the best of Montreal and the St Lawrence River. The captain and guide were great and really did well to keep everyone entertained and safe. I was concerned initially about my 7year old on the ride, but he LOVED the ride! And the free shampoo was a bonus :D I highly recommend this ride, only recommendation for improvement is to have the guide speak louder or walk around the boat as we were sitting in the back row and unable to hear the tour comments well with the engine running behind us. If you do not want to get (as) wet, they have additional gear to protect your clothes and hair and also have a face shield which I found helpful. Some people brought their cameras on the ride and the cameras/phones were fine (there is a pouch onboard to place items). As well, they have sandals available, which may be an option if you have flip flops or runners (one person lost a flip flop on the ride) as your feet will definitely get wet!…

It was an average experience for the price, but could’ve been a lot better. After paying over $260 with taxes for myself, my girlfriend and my 2 daughters, arriving 40 minutes earlier and being the one of the first ones to board the boat, we were told to sit in the second to last row. Tried explaining to the employee that my daughters although 10 and 11 years old… are very adventurous and wanted a thrilling ride and sit in front. The employee didn’t want to hear any of it and sat us in the back. At the end of the ride, both my daughters were frustrated that they didn’t sit in front after all our wait. Pretty frustrating as a parent to hear that after paying the price we did. Don’t recommend it.…

After years of covid lockdowns, this is exactly what we needed! It felt so good to be speeding along the St. Lawrence with the wind whipping our faces and laughing and whooping with surprise as we rode a roller coaster of rapids. Tips: Come wearing your bathing suit because you will get soaked...even though you are wearing the Saute-Mouton fleece sweater and hooded rain jacket. Wear their velcro water shoes they provide. I am tall - 5'9'' - but my legs dangled off the seat and my feet didn't reach the floor. My Crocs would have been swepted away. Bring a towel and a change of clothes. They have toilets and change rooms for you to use. If you have a CAA membership, phone in your reservation and get $5 off per person. And do book in advance. I booked on Tuesday for a Saturday trip and I noticed that very soonr our time slot was booked. …
