The river takes the lead as you cut across evening light, spray stinging the air while Montreal’s skyline shifts from day to neon. Riders mount Sea-Doo GTX 130 Pro machines on the St. Lawrence, skim past Île Sainte-Hélène and La Ronde, and throttle toward the Jacques-Cartier Bridge as its lights begin to wake. Guides break up the ride with short interpretive stops and 15–25 minutes of open-ride time so you feel the craft respond under you.

Arrive Early for Briefing
Be ready 45 minutes before departure to sign waivers, fit your life jacket, and complete the safety course; late arrivals can lose their spot.
Protect Electronics
Use a small dry bag or waterproof case—phones and cameras get wet quickly from spray during open-ride time.
Dress for Wind and Spray
Wear quick-dry layers and a windbreaker; temperatures on the river feel several degrees colder than onshore after sunset.
Watch for Boat Traffic
Follow your guide’s position and speed instructions to stay clear of ferries and powered boats, especially near bridges and channels.
Life jacket
Provided on tour but essential for safety on open water.
