Rafting: Day 2

Paddle, splash, and roll down more challenging routes of the Ottawa River for a full day excursion. Your experienced and passionate guide controls the raft using oars at the back, while you are paddling with your crew. You’ll get a chance to body surf and float, and possibly do some cliff jumping too – it’s up to the river!

All participants are required to paddle.

As the currents calm down, we transfer to the comfort of our signature Pontoon Boat where your dry clothes, and a feast of freshly prepared grilled buffet awaits. Relax and reenergize while you cruise back to the OWL Resort via the historical route of the First Nations, viewing the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield. Once back at the resort, your guides will show a video presentation where you can relive your day’s adventure!
