This package will surely get you wet and stoked as you paddle together as a small crew down the river, be prepared for the raft to flip over on day 2. Your craft is a small sporty raft with a professional guide and the crew paddling together as team. Suitable for guests who weigh a minimum of 90lb (41kg).
Paddle, splash, and roll down more challenging routes of the Ottawa River for a full day excursion. For your first day our experienced and passionate guide controls the raft using oars at the back, while you are paddling with your crew. On day two you hop in a smaller sportier raft with six others and a guide with a paddle. 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 National 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!
