Definitely put Rafting Montreal on your bucket list if you're visiting Montreal. The Adventurous Rafting experience was incredibly fun. Even as a non-swimmer, I felt incredibly safe. The team and guide go through a whole safety training before you get onto the rapids. Shout out to Marianne who served as our amazing guide?
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We're happy to hear that you felt safe while having fun on the water with us! We'll definitely let Marianne know, she'll be thrilled to hear your review!

Must try. Would try to do again next year . Have been living at the same street as rafting since 30 years never dared to do it. This year I decided to do it before I get too old. It was really a thrilling experience. The guides are very professional and safety minded. Don’t leave nothing to chance.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We are so happy that you finally decided to come rafting with us! It is a pleasure and we're looking forward to greeting you again next summer!

Ralph and crew were awesome. Good for a quick thrill. Plan on getting wet. Bring crocs or water shoes and not flip flops.

This was an exhilarating experience for the family on the tour. I had a 14., 12 and 10 year old with me and all of them are hard to please. All of them absolutely loved the experience. The guides were great and this was a memory that the family won’t forget!

Tom_S, Aug 2024
As a first-time visitor, i wouldn't have guessed Montreal had rapids. But we had a blast maneuvering through them with the help of our pilot. Great time.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you Tom! It is quite special that we can offer a rafting experience directly in the city of Montreal! Thank you for coming, we hope to see you on the water again :)

Thank you for your review Robert! We'll give word to Gabriel! We hope you enjoyed your "workout" with us :)
Nina_K, Aug 2024
Very fun experience on the river. Guides were very friendly but also extremely professional and safety focused. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get out of the city and experience the beauty of the St. Lawrence.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for your review Nina! We hope to see you on the water again :)
Pierre_C, Aug 2024
Great time on the Saint Laurence river with a very professional crew. The only hiccup was the price which a found a bit steep.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for your review, Pierre!
Did you know we offer some of the lowest rafting rates in Quebec? Our prices include highly trained guides, quality equipment, transportation, and insurance coverage. We believe our rates are fair because we prioritize delivering a great experience over increasing prices annually. We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed your adventure with us!

karen_t, Jul 2024
The place is very clean, the personal very kind and experienced. We as a family had a great time, I would like to had more time in the rapids, but I guess is because of the security of the kids.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for your message, Karen! The Lachine Rapids are quite intense, which can make the experience feel rushed during the hour and a half. The route we take is the safest option, as some rapids are too dangerous even for the most experienced rafters. We hope your family enjoyed the experience with us and we hope to see you on the water again!
Kyle_S, Jul 2024
Great, unexpectedly large rapids! Staff was super fun! We didn’t know what to expect rafting down such a large river, but it was really fun!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
We hope we were able to exceed your expectations! Thank for coming Kyle, we hope to see you again :)
Tangela_S, Jul 2024
the safety was much more intimidating than the actual rafting but I understand that they don't know the rafters and have to prepare for the worst case scenarios
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for your review!
We understand your comment for the sunblock, but please know that unfortunately, the prices are fixed by Sunbum and not by us... You did paid 23$CAN plus taxes for the product. Sunbum is a high quality sunscreen made for water that we keep in stock to accommodate customers that might have forgotten theirs.
As per the safety briefing, we know it can be a little scary, but as you mention, we have to make sure everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency situation on the water!
We hope you and your son did have fun with our guides!
Sincerely,
Rafting Montréal Team

Loads of fun, you are going to get wet.
Riding the rapids down the St Lawrence along upper Montreal; who’d a thunk it?
Great guides putting the boats in just the right places to maximize the ride.
Granted, YOU ARE GOING TO PADDLE, to accomplish this.
Sore muscles the next day are worth it.
Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We hope you enjoyed your rafting activity with us! Thank you for coming and until next time!

I was amazed at the size of the swells and waves in the St. Lawrence.
The guide was humorous and enjoyable.
Safety was always first and foremost but it never took away from the fun.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
We hope you had a memorable experience with us! Thank you for writing such kind words, we really appreciate it :)
Karen_F, Aug 2023
We got the full whitewater rafting experience - our group's raft did the famous "dump truck" and we all ended up in the water! Our guides were fantastic about keeping everyone calm and we were all safe. Nerve wracking for sure, but we definitely got an unexpected experience and some great family memories :)
Response from Host, Aug 2023
We hope your time with us was a memorable experience, thank you for your kind words Karen! We hope to see your family again soon on the water

The tour guide Bilal was friendly knowledgeable and funny which quickly dispelled any concerns about the trip. The water was warm and when told to jump we did and no regrets.

Stephanie_M, Sep 2022
Going through the rapids and getting wet was exciting! It was great to jump in the water. The wetsuits were an added bonus as it was windy. When you get done, drive down the river and see the rapids from the shore.
Nicole_L, Aug 2022
So fun! Safe, informative, scenic and such a thrill! My 12year old loved it as did we - so glad we decided to do this on our trip to MTL!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
