Unforgettable

My wife and I had an unforgettable sunset cruise! We lucked out on the gorgeous sunset-and-clouds! Our captain Amire (? apologies if I got name wrong) was great: knew his stuff and was an expert in guiding the boat. And we had comfy seats too!! As two retired professors, we appreciated how much and little he spoke.

Lots of fun

Very hard to find the boat on the pier - no helpful signs. It is a small speedboat. The ride itself was scenic and fun.

A beautiful view of Montreal from the St. Lawrence River

The tour was in a mid-size motorboat on a rainy day at sunset. Then the rain eased and the sun came out to set. It was a beautiful view of the harbor and the city scape of Montreal. It felt great to be out on the water jumping the waves and learning about the creating of the bay.

Bonjour, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for choosing Aventures Wet Set MTL. We hope to welcome you back on the water again! Au plaisir, Aventures Wet Set MTL

Good Tour. Better if it started on time.

The boat ride was fun and informative. The issue is the boat arrived 10 minutes late. We then waited several more minutes for a group that was 15 minutes late. The tour should start in time when we are informed to show up 15 minutes early.

Operator response

Bonjour Thomas, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the boat ride and found the tour informative. We sincerely apologize for the delayed departure. You are absolutely right that guests who arrive early should not have to wait because of another group’s late arrival. We will review this with our team to ensure departure times are respected more consistently. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Au plaisir

Book if you are looking for adventure

My other Viator tours have been wonderful but this one missed the mark. Apparently the local tour provider had a boat break down so they put us on a 15 seat pontoon instead. The boat pilot did his best but we got splashed several times. There was no drink service at all (ok tell us ahead to BYOB). The tour was scenic and the views of downtown were very nice.

Operator response

Bonjour Elizabeth, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We’re glad you still enjoyed the scenery and the views of downtown Montreal. Thank you again for helping us improve.
