Make sure you bring a change of clothes and take yours off as you will get extremely wet. Was a lot of fun though
Guide, Nick, was great!! Captain made it an exciting ride 🙌😎. Be prepared to get wet!!! 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦🌊🌊🌊
Best experience ever was exactly what was expected if you love getting soaked definitely recommend and tour guide was hilarious
This is the 3rd time that I have done this adventure. Every time it has been an incredible time. Lot's of fun....be prepared to get wet!
Was super fun and the captain Jeremy and other dude on the boat Nico were great. Helpful hint, bring a towel and bathing suit/water shirt with you. My only complaint was it says 2 hours and it’s only 1 hour long but it was still worth it
Water was cold but the vibes of the crew and passengers was hot. Highly recommend this activity if you are in Montreal.
We (me and my two sons in their 20's) absolutely loved the jet boat experience. It was so much fun! Note that you will get wet, especially if you sit towards the front (drenched in the very front). We were in the back and thought the row right behind the second go-pro camera would have been the best seat. Staff is great and they provide you with all of the gear you will need (big poncho, sandals, warm layer if needed). Note that even with all of that, your clothes will still get wet, so make sure you bring a towel and change of clothes. We would definitely do this again if we are ever back in Montreal.
Prepare to be exhilarated and totally soaked! Once up at the rapids you will enjoy 30/40 minutes of riding the waves with an expert skipper at the wheel. On your return to the dock will definitely need the change of clothing that the operator advises you to bring - we loved it!!
You get wet! What a blast. We sat mid-boat, and every time through the rapids, the waves crashed over us. The briefing before was great - informative and funny. They provided warm fleeces (did not use - August) and spray jackets (did use, but their biggest benefit was for the ride back in the wind of a fast-moving boat while we were soaked. We had all ages, and it was safe and well done!
Make sure to pay attention to the directions on where to find the boat and what to bring. Very important. We had a great time.
The activity was super fun! Get ready to be totally soaked. Absolutely recommended for visitors to Montreal.
This was a great time. We got very wet but it was very fun. We went on a warm day but it did rain. The only bad part was the rain pelting you in the face hurt because we were going so fast. I would definitely wear the poncho if you usually get cold. The water was warm in August. They have sandals you can borrow; I would wear those if you don’t want your shoes soaking wet.
Great experience! It was fun, thrilling and the staff was amazing! Thank you Lucas and team for such a memorable ride. I highly recommend it!
The Jet boat ride was awesome. The wife and I really enjoyed all the excitement. Extremely fun way to cool down on a Summer's day. All of the employees were very hospitable and very personable. It was a nice way to see Montreal from the River. The center provided everything you need, from poncho, life vest, water shoes, etc. They have you covered.
If I could give this jet boating experience a 10 out of 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat! Words don’t even do justice to how much pure, unfiltered fun my family and I had out on the water.
The Good Stuff:
🎟️ Zero-Friction Check-In: Fast, friendly, and totally effortless.
👟 All Set Up: Free lockers to store your dry clothes and sandals provided on-site.
🚤 World-Class Crew: Luka and the entire team were absolute rockstars—knowledgeable, hilarious, and expert drivers. I wish I could give you all the names because the entire staff was great.
🌊 The Ride: An absolute blast from start to finish! You will get soaked, so embrace it!
Pro-Tip: Do whatever you can to score a seat in the first three rows—that’s where the real magic (and splash zone) happens!
Bonus History Lesson: You’re riding through serious history here. The Lachine Rapids drop 13 meters across nearly 5 kilometers of wild, turbulent water. They were so fierce that early explorers like Jacques Cartier (1535) and Samuel de Champlain couldn't navigate them and had to portage—which eventually led to the building of the Lachine Canal and put Montreal on the map as a massive trade hub!
The Downside: Absolutely NONE.
If you’re anywhere near Montreal, do NOT pass this up. Hands down one of the best family memories we've made!
Highly recommend! They are friendly and make sure you’re getting the experience of a lifetime. If you have the chance make sure to book this experience
Had a great time! Must do it for family with kids. Thrilling experience. Fun. The crew was great and very courteous
Just fantastic and you get nicely wet . Great and unique experience to fly over rapids with a fantastic team supporting you
Get soaking wet and get a shot of adrenaline to wake up your senses.
Ideal for everyone 6-99 years old
Great fun with teenagers. First three rows are pretty intense. It is a one of a kind experience for the whole family.
Guaranteed to get wet and have an unforgettable experience. Recommend purchasing the picture package to show others the wall of water that comes for you.
You definitely get wet!
I’m a 75-year-old grandmother and I loved it. I went with my two teenage grandchildren and we all had so much fun… Created memories that will last forever.
You are gonna get soaked, and it’s absolutely amazing and thrilling. My favorite part of the Montreal trip!!
Sit at front of you want to get splashed. Arrive early. Very fun! Enjoyed it both dad and teen daughter.
So much fun for all ages.. they supply you with everything you need such as life jacket, poncho, sweat shirt and sandals. Prepare to get utterly drenched
This was so awesome! We loved it! From Jack’s informative and funny safety briefing, to the rapids - we loved every bit of it! The day wasn’t very warm (under 70 degrees), but we weren’t cold in the water. Luca was fantastic as our guide and the captain and staff were great too. We had a blast and would highly recommend!!!
They give you everything you need - a sweater, windbreaker and life jacket, and sandals if you need them. There’s a pocket onboard for glasses / phones so you don’t lose small items.
You will get soaked, so bring a change of clothes and a towel.
The video and photos were fun and about $25. If you can sit front row or right in the middle in front of the second GoPro, you’ll get much better shots. We were 3 rows back and our faces were blocked from most of it by the people in front of us.
Have fun!
The boat ride is fun, exciting and you will get wet. Bring shorts, underwire and a shirt to change into and wear under the windbreaker and life vest they supply. Put your shoes and dry clothes in a backpack and check it. They supply sandals. You must stow glasses, phones and any loose items.
The waves are fun and getting hit with a wall of water or spray is exciting. The boats are fast and safe. French and English are spoken by all of the staff.
So much fun! The people are super nice and it is an absolute blast for the whole family! Thrilling without being scary.
This tour was similar to other jet boat rides, but much more exciting. We've been on other jet boat rides, but this one is unique in that the rapids get you extra wet and make it very thrilling. Our boat attendant, Matthew, brought a lot of energy and fun to the ride. Thanks, Matthew.
Note: The chop can be rough, so if you have back or neck problems, you probably won't want to do this. Also, you will have waves go over the front of the boat. So if being covered by water is not your thing, I recommend riding in the back.
Our whole family (ages 9-50) really enjoyed this adventure. You definitely get soaked on the trip but we went on a hot day so it wasn’t too cold. They require the younger kids to wear ponchos and sit in the back 3 rows of the boat but we still had waves crashing over us. Our older kids sat in the front row and said the water was pretty forceful. They had lockers to put valuables and changing rooms for after the boat ride.
