About three hours from Montreal — 20 minutes from Quebec City — you can embark on an adventure that must be added to your summer bucket list: exploring the Montmorency River on a double tube. Not only is it a lot of fun, but the setting is also very beautiful.

The outdoor expedition company Panorac, located in Sainte-Brigitte-de-Laval, organizes these excursions throughout the summer season.

There are two departures per day. The first one is at 9 a.m. and the second one is at 1 p.m., but note that visitors must arrive 30 minutes in advance.

The trip lasts two hours, during which time you'll come across several small islands where you can stop for a snack or relax.

The activity costs a total of $40 per person, including the shuttle and equipment.

Since two people can fit on each tube, this is a great activity for a special date or a day of hanging with your BFF under the sun.

Departures are usually in groups of about seven people and you have to book your spot online in advance.
