Rabaska tour and brewery visit
​
For this kayaking excursion, we will depart from the Lachine Canal Nautical Center and head east towards the St-Gabriel lock. We'll learn about the history of the canal and surrounding neighborhoods while traveling directly south of downtown, providing unique views of the city.
We will exit quickly to see the locks and historic plaques before re-embarking to cover the 3 km that separate us from the locks of Côte-Saint-Paul.
We'll descend at the Messorem Brewery for a drink on one of Montreal's most quaint and popular microbreweries and terraces.

Minimum of 3 participants for the tour to take place. Reservations required. All taxes and equipment are included.

Discover the interesting nooks and crannies that make-up the historic "Cradle of Industrialization." Witness the majestic birds, turtles and beavers that call the canal home while we look upon the changing landscape of the Montreal Skyline.

We'll pass through the St-Gabriel locks and explore the Peel Basin, (the future home of the Expos) and cruise past Griffintown as we paddle towards our destination; Montreal's world famous Old Port, where we stop for lunch.
