http://www.parachutemontreal.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $165, you get a tandem skydive from Parachute Montreal, located in Saint-Esprit (up to a $280 value).

Parachute Montreal charts a course for breathtaking tandem jumps from an exhilarating altitude of 4,000 metres. Friendly and experienced instructors strap themselves to air sailors 14 years and up for 50 seconds of free fall at 200 km/h, followed by 6–8 minutes of parachute-borne soaring. Prior to flight, participants attend a 20-minute introduction to answer outstanding inquiries, followed by a ride in a twin-engine Turboprop aircraft that seats up to 23 adrenaline junkies. Fields, towns, and trees expand before adrenalin-imbued eyes in a picturesque view worthy of the handsomest of Van Gogh–inspired graffiti. Rigorous safety standards include obstacle-free fields for safe and worry-free landings, and instructors touch down first so that passengers need not experience a bumpy return or awaken irritable worms. First-timers should check out the FAQs for a knowledge-infused experience.

Rafting Nouveau Monde
25 chemin des Sept Chutes (C.P. 100), Grenville-sur-la-Rouge
http://www.newworld.ca/

Today’s Groupon to Rafting Nouveau Monde, located in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge. Choose between the following rafting packages:

For $66, you get the Jamboree Rafting package, including a half day of white-water rafting, wetsuit rental, camping, and breakfast (a $110.05 total value).
For $45, you get the Express package, including a half day of white-water rafting and wetsuit rental (a $93.05 total value).
Communing with Poseidon’s whims for more than 31 years, Rafting Nouveau Monde and its expert guides usher thrill seekers through the Rouge River’s exciting rapids (a $79 value). With levels of intensity ranging from Class I beginner rivers to Class VI expert routes, raft riders may encounter the terrain’s various temperaments, from its calm flows to its immature name calling, while snuggled in a provided rented wetsuit (a $14.05 value). Waterways include the gentle gesticulation of the Family Rapids, the undulating waves of the Washing Machine, and the rocking white waters of the Confusion Rapids, which often result in the misuse of paddles for stilts.

After a day of current conquering, those participating in the Jamboree option can partake in a poolside barbecue (for an additional fee) and included live music on Saturday evenings, then rest water-worn bodies overnight at the New World Centre’s campground—followed by an included breakfast the next morning (a $17 value for camping and breakfast). Campers may bring their own tents or rent a shanty for $45. Rowers who partake in the Express package, meanwhile, conclude their journey after the day trip and can recover from rapids roving at home in their own personal raft-shaped beds. All participants can enjoy the New World Centre’s facilities, which include a swimming pool, hot tub, bar, volleyball court, showers, trails, lush forest, and more. Standard life jackets and helmets are included, but participants may bring their own sequins to add personal flair.

Paintball Commando Rive-Sud
1201 Ch. de Touraine
http://www.paintballrivesud.com

Today’s Groupon affirms that love is a battlefied: for $22, you get an all-day paintball package, which includes entrance, equipment, 100 paintballs, and a meal, at Paintball Commando Rive-Sud in Sainte-Julie (a $45 value).

Boasting a 3,000,000-square-foot battlefield, Paintball Commando lets participants loose on a selection of five different outdoor terrains to grapple for the cleanest victory. Whether celebrating a bachelor’s final single days or a Saturday, paintball provides an adrenaline-filled way to enjoy the outdoors without a book of matches and a can of hairspray. After signing a safety waiver, participants collect safety gear and markers supplied with compressed air—C02 is provided free for those who choose to use their own equipment—for optimum paint-splattering performance.

Once the referee explains the rules, regulations, and the mission, players are escorted to foliage-filled terrain, with scenes such as trenches, a fortress, and a military camp. Famished assailants can also return to the refueling station to recharge or for an included dinner provided by Rôtisseries St-Hubert. After a day of snipering, look for familiar faces in Paintball Commando’s archive of action photos, which can serve as a memorable personal souvenir or a lovely way to thank a mother for the gift of vengeance.

Bouffe & Bouffons
64, rue Richelieu
St-Jean-sur-Richelieu
http://www.bouffeetbouffons.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $35, you get admission and dinner for two at Bouffe et Bouffons dinner theatre in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (a $90 value). Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and performances begin around 6:30 p.m. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early.

Bouffe et Bouffons amuses palates and sensibilities with a four-course dinner and audience-interactive theatrics for all ages in a historic discotheque. Upon arrival, grab a drink at the bar or on the terrace (a separate cost applies to drinks) before proceeding to an assigned table at which a dinner feast seduces stubborn hunger pangs and onstage artistry makes them philosophically question their existence. Soup and salad open the fete, and entrees such as grilled poultry in creamy asparagus sauce form a savoury prelude to a tongue-entrapping dessert such as triple-chocolate cake. While munching, take in the cast’s humorous spectacles liberally accented with improvisation as Bouffe et Bouffons’ professional comedians don costumes and convey twisted stories on topics such as the corruption of Alcatraz, a magician’s curse, and a tragic life without YouTube.

Afterward, the arena breaks down into an after party where guests can dance until the morning to a live DJ. Contact the theatre for a schedule of upcoming shows.

The Company
Rafting Montréal
http://www.raftingmontreal.com/
8912 boulevard LaSalle

In the Victorian era, adventure sports were limited to teatime without doilies, writing witty satires about earnesty, and riding a bassinet down a mild incline. Today’s Groupon would shock such staid sensibilities: for $20, you get a rafting excursion from Rafting Montreal in LaSalle (a $41 value).

Rafting Montreal’s professional helmsmen guide paddlers of all ages and skill levels on nautical odysseys of more than two hours down the Lachine Rapids. Each sturdy raft carries 10–12 expeditioners, enough participants to form a rock choir after white-water bonding. Those who opt for the Rafting Adventure can traverse the Lachine’s most powerful rapids and even hop in and swim the last leg of the journey if so desired. The Rafting Family adventure, meanwhile, whisks voyageurs ages 6 and up down calmer channels, ensuring an adventure both thrilling and safe, just like secretly dog-earing library books.

Rafts embark throughout the day from Rafting Montreal’s waterfront headquarters, mere minutes from downtown. Rafting Montreal also offers free parking for cars and buses, and it supplies all necessary equipment, though sandals and rain gear can be rented for a fee. Customers require nothing but a change of clothes and a willingness to refrain from challenging other customers to paddle jousts. Peruse the predeparture checklist here for additional journey tips.
