It's officially beach season in Quebec! If you're not the kind of person who likes suntanning or drinking in a floatie all day, you might want to try this inflatable aquatic obstacle course at Saint-Zotique Beach, which is just 45 minutes away from Montreal.

This week, Saint-Zotique Beach announced the return of its Mega Parcours Eau Défi, which consists of 30 structures floating on top of the Saint-Lawrence River that "thrill- and fun-seeking" people can climb, run and balance on.

If you've seen the show Wipeout, you have an idea of what you're in for — but considering 6-year-olds are allowed on this course, it'll probably be heavier on the fun and lighter on the challenge. 

The Mega Parcours Eau Défi is set to reopen on June 24, and the hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

It costs $10 for adults to put their skills to the test for one hour. But prices vary by age and there are packages that provide unlimited access to the inflatable structure.
