My husband and I really enjoyed our 90-minute cruise around the Port of Montreal, Ile Ste Helene and the St. Lawrence Seaway aboard Le Bateau-Mouche.
Opt for the 90 minute cruise, its only costs a little more than the 60 minute cruise, and it's more of a relaxed pace. Two reg. tix plus taxes was 61 canadian (as of 6/2010)
Word of warning, sitting on the the top deck is very warm and you can get very sunburned ( I speak from experience) Though I was sitting under the shaded glass ceiling on the end of the boat it wasn't enough to shielded from the mid-day rays. Wear sunscreen. Luckily I was able to order drinks to keep cool.
Lots of great photo ops of the port, the ships, the islands, bridges and more. Definitely a great way to gain perspective of the city and a relaxing ride to boot. Only once was the ride choppy and it was because we crossed over into the rough currents of the seaway. This trip is perfect for any age and size of groups.
very enjoyable and the small size compared to the AML company makes this a more intimate feeling and close-up cruise. Tickets were very easy to buy at the port an hour before cruising.
Great selection of Food courts at the Museum of Science if you want to eat a bit before cruising or want and ice cream afterwards.
