The flying trapeze: Looking for a great upper body and core workout? Flying trapeze is the answer for you on your adventure trip to Montréal. Fly with the pros at Trapezium where you will get one-on-one instructions before you take the plunge and jump from a platform 20 feet high while hanging onto a swing. The instructors teach you how to wrap your legs around the swing to hang upside down. You can even do a "catch and release" swing with an instructor. Your arms, shoulders, chest and mid section will all thank you the next day for the strength training and the stretch. Not for the faint-hearted, but if you do want to get over your fear of heights, there is no better way.

Jet boating on the St. Lawrence River: Rain or shine, if you like a heart racing experience this is for you! Take a trip on the St. Lawrence River in a jet boat to some of the most intense rapids you will find. When you get on this exhilarating ride you will be wowed at the large waves the rapids make before the boat dips sideways or straight into an oncoming wave. Hang on tight and ride the wave! Don't be fooled by the jump suite and gear they have you put on -- by the end of this trip you will be soaked from head to toe!

Surfing on the St. Lawrence River: Who knew that Montréal would be known around the world for its incredible surfing opportunities? Yes, it is true -- the St. Lawrence River provides some amazing surfing waves that are beckoning you to give them a try. Check out the surf equipped in your wet suit (these aren't tropical waters) and feel the thrill of catching the wave while being so close to a metropolitan area. Not only will you be challenged with the tricky ups and downs of the river, but you will also get a spectacular view of the city and the surrounding man-made islands and a great work out.
