The platform feels improbably small when you're at the top: a red-and-white sign that reads "Zipline" against the gray metal tower, the St. Lawrence unfolding downstream like a long, cool ribbon daring you to cross it. Riders clip in, inhale the river air, and step off a 30‑m-high launch that sends them skimming across approximately 1,200 feet of cable toward Hangar 16, with the Old Port’s slate roofs and the Clock Tower shrinking beneath.

Arrive early to check in
Plan to be at Hangar 16 at least 20–30 minutes before your time to complete weight checks and safety briefing.
Secure loose items
Use a wrist strap or leave phones and hats with a friend; anything loose can be lost or create a safety risk.
Dress for the river breeze
Light jacket or windbreaker is useful year-round—the river chill can feel stronger at height.
Know medical restrictions
Not recommended for pregnant people or those with recent spinal or serious cardiovascular conditions; staff will ask about health and weight.
Closed-toe sneakers
Secure footwear keeps you comfortable during check-in and the short walk to the launch platform.

Spring river breezes can be cool; a thin jacket blocks wind without bulk.
