Montreal Bungee: The highest bungee jump in Canada

Montreal puts the jump in the city. At the Old Port’s Convoyers Tower, you can step onto a 64-meter platform and make a 210-foot bungee jump with downtown Montreal and the St. Lawrence River spread below. I like that you do not need a car, a forest road, or a long hike to reach the launch point. The adventure begins beside the Montreal Science Centre, right in the middle of a day in Old Montreal.

I also like the small groups of up to eight people and the clear focus on professional supervision. The staff handle the briefing and equipment, and you leave with a certificate. The main drawback is the price: at $167 per person before optional photos, videos, food, or repeat jumps, this is a major expense for a few minutes of actual jumping. You are paying for the rare setting and the full experience around it.

Five things to know before you book

• 210 feet above the Old Port: This is Canada’s highest bungee jump, launched from the Convoyers Tower.
• A genuinely urban thrill: You can reach the entrance at 2 rue de la Commune Ouest on foot or by metro, with no car or mountain hike required.
• Views are part of the experience: From the platform, you look across Montreal, the Old Port, and the St. Lawrence River before the jump.
• Small groups keep the process manageable: The activity is limited to eight participants, with English, French, and Spanish available.
• Photos and videos cost extra: You can purchase visual souvenirs on site, but they are not part of the $167 base price.
• Plan on 60 to 90 minutes: The time includes arrival, equipment, the safety briefing, the trip up, and the jump.

A 210-foot tower beside the Montreal Science Centre

The meeting point is unusually simple. Go to the entrance of the conveyor platform at 2 rue de la Commune Ouest, next to the Montreal Science Centre. This puts the jump within easy reach of Old Montreal’s streets, restaurants, museums, and waterfront paths.

That location is one of Montreal Bungee’s biggest advantages. Many bungee jumps require a drive into the countryside, followed by a walk to a bridge or platform. Here, you can spend the morning exploring the Old Port, walk to the tower, and be back among cafés and historic streets after the activity. It is an easy add-on to a city day, although your nerves may make the walk back feel different.

The tower reaches 64 meters, or 210 feet. That height gives the jump its main appeal, but it also means you should expect a serious wait before stepping off the platform. You are not making a small amusement-park hop. The height is the point.

The setting adds something a remote site cannot. Instead of trees or empty countryside, you see the city directly below and around you. The Old Port, downtown skyline, and St. Lawrence River become part of the experience. Take a moment to look around before the staff give you the final instructions. Once you are at the edge, the view may be harder to appreciate.

What happens during the 60 to 90 minutes

Allow one to one and a half hours from arrival to finish. The exact pace can vary, but the published duration includes more than the jump itself.

First, the staff welcome you and get you ready for the activity. Personal items can go into a free locker, which means you do not need to carry a phone, bag, or loose belongings onto the platform. On-site restrooms and a shaded waiting area are also available.

Next comes the safety briefing. This is an important part of the experience, not a formality to rush through. Trained staff explain the process and help fit the required gear, including the harness, helmet, ankle straps, and bungee cords. The activity includes insurance coverage and supervision by certified, experienced staff.

After the briefing, you head to the top of the Convoyers Tower. The staff guide you through the final steps before the jump. For a first-timer, this is likely the most useful part of the experience because you are not expected to figure out the equipment or procedure alone.

Then comes the jump itself: a 210-foot free fall over the Old Port. The exact sensation will depend on your comfort with heights, but the central appeal is clear. You get the rush of the fall with Montreal directly in view, rather than a blank wall or a remote patch of countryside.

When the activity ends, you receive a commemorative certificate. If conditions allow, you may also be able to repeat the jump at a discounted same-day rate. That second jump is not included in the base price, so ask about the current offer before deciding.

Why the city view matters

The view is not just decoration around the bungee jump. It is what makes this experience different from a standard jump at a bridge or outdoor adventure park.

From the tower, Montreal is laid out in a way you rarely see at street level. You can look toward the Old Port and downtown while the St. Lawrence River frames the setting. The first jump may pass in a blur, but the waiting time at the top gives you a chance to take in the view before the adrenaline takes over.

I would treat the platform as part of the attraction. If you are booking only to collect the biggest possible thrill, the height and free fall do the work. If you want a memorable Montreal activity, the city setting gives the event a stronger sense of place.

The urban location also makes this a good option for people who are short on time. You do not need to spend half a day getting to and from a remote site. You can fit the jump between other Old Port activities, though I would avoid packing the schedule too tightly. A one-hour activity can stretch toward 90 minutes, and nerves can make the whole process feel longer.

The staff and safety setup

The team’s role is central here. You are fitted with all required equipment, given a safety briefing, and supervised throughout the activity. Staff members speak English, French, and Spanish, which helps make the instructions easier to follow for a broad range of participants.

A small group limit of eight is useful. You are not entering a large attraction with a crowd around the launch area. The group format still means you may wait while other people take their turns, but it also leaves room for staff attention and questions.

The published rules are strict. Intoxication, alcohol, drugs, indoor smoking, fireworks, and explosive substances are not allowed. Alcoholic drinks are also not permitted in the vehicle, if transportation connected to the activity is involved. The practical message is simple: arrive sober, clear-headed, and ready to follow instructions.

The activity is not suitable for pregnant people, anyone with high blood pressure, people with recent surgeries, people with mobility impairments, or people with altitude sickness. It is also not suitable for very young children. The supplied restrictions list children under 12, along with separate height and weight limits, and gives upper age limits including 80 and 95 in different entries. Weight limits also vary across the posted information, from 115 kilograms to 159 kilograms.

Because those limits are inconsistent in the available details, confirm the current rule with the operator before paying if age, height, weight, or a medical condition could affect eligibility. Do not assume that being able to reach the tower means you are cleared to jump.

Is $167 a fair price?

At $167 per person, Montreal Bungee is not a casual impulse activity for most people. The actual free-fall portion is brief, as it is with any bungee jump. The price covers the setting, trained supervision, equipment, insurance, safety process, certificate, and access to the tower.

I think the value depends on what you want from the day. If you are already searching for Canada’s highest bungee jump, the price is easier to justify because this is a specific record-setting experience in a very convenient location. You are not paying simply for a cord and a platform. You are paying to jump from a major Old Port landmark with the city below.

The cost is harder to justify if you are only curious about bungee jumping and would be satisfied with a cheaper, shorter attraction. Optional photos and videos increase the total, and food, drinks, merchandise, and repeat jumps cost extra. Ask about the photo and video package before the jump if recording the moment matters to you.

The certificate is included, but it has modest value compared with the jump itself. The strongest included extras are the locker, safety gear, staff supervision, shaded waiting area, and the ability to bring friends or family to a viewing area. Those details make the outing easier for a group where only one or two people plan to jump.

Photos, videos, and the viewing area

A bungee jump happens fast, so photos and videos may be worth considering. The operator offers them for purchase on site, but they are not included in the $167 price. If you want a record of the leap, decide before arriving how much that memory is worth to you.

Friends and family can use an optional viewing area. This is helpful if someone in your group does not want to jump but still wants to share the event. It also lets a companion see the moment without crowding the launch area.

You should use the viewing time wisely. Ask the staff where companions may watch and what photo options are available before the activity begins. The details of the package are not specified, so do not assume that every angle, video, or participant is included.

Afterward, nearby food stands offer ice cream, smoothies, churros, and other refreshments for separate purchase. That gives you an easy way to settle your nerves or celebrate, but these are add-ons, not part of the admission.

Who will enjoy Montreal Bungee most

This is a strong choice if you want a high-adrenaline activity without leaving Montreal. It works especially well for:

• First-time jumpers who want trained staff and a clear safety process.
• People who want Canada’s highest bungee jump rather than a smaller introduction.
• Couples or friends looking for an unusual Old Port activity.
• Families or groups where some people want to jump and others prefer to watch.
• Visitors with limited time who do not want a long drive or hike.
• Repeat thrill seekers who may want a discounted second jump if conditions allow.

It is less suitable if you dislike heights, want a relaxed sightseeing activity, or are trying to keep your Montreal budget low. It is also not a good choice if you have one of the listed medical restrictions or cannot meet the current age, height, or weight rules.

The experience may suit beginners, but do not mistake beginner-friendly supervision for low intensity. The staff can make the process clear and reassuring. They cannot make 210 feet feel small.

Practical tips for a smoother jump

Arrive with a little flexibility. The advertised duration is 60 to 90 minutes, so do not schedule a museum timed entry or dinner immediately afterward.

Wear something that works with the required equipment and avoid bringing valuables onto the platform. The free locker handles personal items, but it is still wise to keep your arrival simple.

Bring friends or family if you want support, especially if this is your first jump. They can use the viewing area, and the urban setting means there are other things to do nearby while waiting.

Think about photos before you arrive. If you know you will want a video, budget for the optional package instead of treating it as an unexpected extra.

If you are unsure about eligibility, ask before booking. The provided restrictions contain several different weight and age thresholds, so direct confirmation is the sensible move.

The activity offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled time and a reserve-now, pay-later option. Those terms help if your Montreal plans are still shifting, but you should still check the conditions attached to your booking before relying on them.

Should you book Montreal Bungee?

Book it if you want a rare combination: Canada’s highest bungee jump, a true city setting, and easy Old Port access. The friendly, professional setup and small groups make it a reasonable first jump, while the 210-foot height gives experienced thrill seekers a serious target.

Skip it if $167 feels too steep for a short burst of free fall, or if you would rather spend your Montreal budget on museums, food, and riverfront time. For the right person, the price buys more than a jump. It buys a story, a skyline view, a certificate, and the chance to see Montreal from a very unusual height.
