See Montreal from a jet-boat vantage: an hour-long high-speed panorama along the St. Lawrence that passes Victoria and Champlain bridges, Expo 67 sites and the city skyline. Accessible and family-friendly, the tour blends architecture, history and river dynamics.

The engine rumbles before the Old Port slips behind you and the skyline rises like a collage of glass and concrete. Wind cuts across the river; the jet boat answers with a steady thrust, sending skiffs of spray that dare you to look away. Over the next hour the tour threads under Jacques-Cartier and Victoria bridges, skims past St-Helen's Island and sails between the massive pilings of the Champlain Bridge — the city feeling both close and expansive from the water.
