Early Bird Pricing, just a little shaved off thru April 4th…Spend a long weekend with MYA in super cool Montreal, Canada! This is a revitalization of an adventure planned in 2020 and we all know what happened to that, covid cancelled. We’ll be staying at fabulous apartments in the heart of the old city. Adventurers will enjoy zipping about town via the metro, hiking Mount Royal, biking and market strolling, visiting the Biosphere Environmental Museum and Botanical Garden, trying out the circus arts, enjoying yoga outside, eating lots of yummy food and more…
On Friday we’ll have a flexible arrival time meeting up at the hotel around happy hour to welcome all into the city and settle into our rooms. We have three rooms, two bedroom apartments and a suite. Adventurers can share a queen bed or have one to themselves or choose a sofa bed. With a couple kitchenettes in our reservation we’ll eat a vegetarian dinner prepared by MYA cook, Brooke, then hit Old Montreal, dating to the 17th century with narrow cobblestone streets full of lively plazas and charming shops and cafes. It might be wicked fun to go on a ghost tour but MYA can set it up as an optional activity if not every adventurer is comfortable with spirits :)
Adventurers will enjoy a tasty breakfast provided by MYA then head out to hike Mount Royal, an extinct volcano. We’ll go early to avoid the heat. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer behind New York's Central Park. There’s an easy five mile loop to enjoy with a wide range of flora and fauna. Along the way we’ll be sure to get in some yoga :) We’ll also get a chance to visit the Chalet, the Beaver Lake Pavilion and perhaps towards the end of our visit, we’ll stop at the Café des Amis for a bite to eat.
Post-hike we’ll find out what the local culinary culture is all about at the Jean-Talon Market located in the heart of Little Italy. In addition to fruits and vegetables, the market has flower stalls, spice shops, cheese, a chocolate shop, an ice cream parlor, an Italian specialty store, pastry stores and an array of specialty shops. MYA will pick up some seasonal ingredients and unique local specialties for dinnertime.
Saturday in the late afternoon we’ll have a date with Chateau de Circue, an old cinema converted into a circus school. Yes, adventurers will get two hours of playtime on a flying trapeze and with other fun circus elements such as the hoop and acro yoga as well! No worries, it’s safety first with these exciting possibilities at Montreal’s best spot for learning to fly. Your needs can definitely be accommodated, not great with heights, I’m sure there can be some playtime with props in a well grounded situation for you. Absolutely no experience necessary for anyone, it’s just for fun!
On Sunday adventurers will hop on bikes and take the Lachine Canal path along a boat canal, past the Atwater Market, and all the way to the Musée plein air de Lachine in the west, a beautiful sculpture garden right on the river. If the group is overcome by riding awesomeness, adventurers can continue on a bike path through LaSalle and Verdun, along the St. Lawrence waterfront cycling path, stopping at a nature sanctuary and maybe even checking out some river surfers to see if we’d be up for it ourselves.
There are beaches in Montreal that we may like to check out and dip our toes in to cool off. The Clock Tower Beach is right in our neighborhood.
After lounging around in the hotel post-bicycling, adventurers will get a chance to check out the Biosphere, the only environment museum in North America with a mission to raise awareness and encourage environmental action and commitment. Close by is the world renowned botanical garden - the gardens will be a perfect place to enjoy fresh air, natural beauty and an outdoor yoga flow. No worries about the yoga throughout the adventure, beginners and beyond, it’s for everyone.
Adventurers can take in the glorious Notre-Dame Basilica, a soaring Gothic Revival church, and perhaps the Pointe-à-Callière museum with city archeological ruins as well. If adventurers have a sweet tooth, there are yummy chocolate dipped ice cream cones readily available. And, just in case anyone needs to try out amazing vegan food for lunch, there’s the perfect spot.
Please know that our schedule during the weekend is flexible and subject to change. As a group we can arrange for more or less to happen.
A couple funky things to note, Montreal has a lively underground, axe throwing, ziplining, ice skating, stand up paddleboarding, night life, and of course, river surfing. Holly, founder of MYA, would like to squeeze in a thermal spa experience and there are a few options right in our neighborhood such as Scandinave Spa and Bota Bota. If we want to jump in a car and head to Strom Spa, that’s a fabulous option as well. If adventurers have time on Monday before traveling and if we haven’t gotten to something that your heart was yearning for, there are opportunities for more fun!
Please know that Holly’s son Augi, 16 yrs old, will be adventuring with us. Brooke Dupuy and her family, two girls 10 & 14, all French speakers, will be joining us with Brooke will be cooking up inspired dinners with local cuisine in mind. We’ve got a very family friendly adventure.
Don’t miss out on stirring up your wonder and curiosity as we explore the amazing Canadian city of Montreal as we wish happy independence day to the US from afar!
