Review from M J.

aka Saute Moutons
This might be the most (summer type) fun that I've ever had! Do not miss this when in Montreal.
First you sit through an info session which is amusing & multi lingual. They offer all kinds of goofy looking but much needed (trust me, and them) clothing and life jackets. You can also leave your valuables with them, and there are changing rooms. They say bring a towel and a change of clothing and they are not kidding, even undergarments, as you'll be soaked through. Pockets in front of you on the boats can hold small valuables, but wrap them in a plastic bag.
Next you board the boats and ride to the Lachine (?) rapids area. Ask the staff where to sit if you want to get really nailed by the waves. People in the front row get constantly hammered with walls of waves. Those in the middle and toward the back get it too, just not so constantly - and that's the fun of it. Who knew that there were class five rapids ten minutes from the city?! The helmeted & bull horned guide explains what's going on. The boats are so well built, powerful (twin 66o motors?!) and the captain so skilled, it's not scary, just crazy fun. The ride back even has a few surprises. -

AKA the SAUTE-MOUTONS. Those French Canadians are out of their minds with this boat ride. Its a big open jet barge like I've never seen anywhere else in NA. They basically take you out and slam you into Giant Waves in the middle of the ST.L Seaway...who knew there were Giant waves there?! Anyways its one of the most fun things I can think of. And when they tell you that you will get wet just aniticpate the same experience as jumping in and out of a 6' deep pool. So double rap you valuables with bags they will give you.
Its located deep in the Old Port, you basically park near the an old shipping Pier. So just keep asking people where it is. If your American let the Frenchies know when you ask for direction and they will be nicer to you, since they hate english americans less than english Canadians who don't try to speak french. -

Woah, talk about awesome. Ever wonder what riding in class five rapids would be like? Well, go on this. In no way will you stay dry, but in no way does that take away from the experience.
Incredible and a must for anyone who likes water, boating, rafting, adventure...
