The Quays of the Old Port offer a romantic setting steeped in history. The first colonists arrived here on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, and it was thanks to the port that old Ville-Marie grew into the thriving international metropolis of modern-day Montreal. The beautiful area offers romantic riverside walks, boat tours and even a Nordic spa aboard a re-converted ship at Bota Bota. An intimate, silent and non-polluting boat tour offers an environmentally-friendly ride along the Old Port and Lachine Canal. Along the water couples can discover the Old Port's marine life and historical heritage, as well as the simple pleasure of navigating the river on a beautiful summer day and experiencing Montreal from a totally new perspective.
