About This Adventure

Experience an exhilarating two-day rafting adventure on the Ottawa River! Paddle through thrilling rapids, enjoy body surfing and cliff jumping, then unwind on a scenic pontoon ride with a delicious BBQ. Day two offers beach fun, frisbee golf, and access to resort amenities, ensuring unforgettable memories in nature's beauty.

Important:

Medium intensity – active paddling in a 20ft Maravia Grand raft. Your guide is at the back of the raft steering with two 9 ft oars. The oars provide increased precision and power for choosing the best line down the rapids and for surfing. The possibility of falling out exists – remember the summer water of the Ottawa River is warm! Minimum passenger weight – 41kg (90lbs)

Please note our prices vary weekday vs weekend.

Duration:

2 Days, 1 Night

Trip Overview:

Rafting: Day 1

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 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!

Resort: Day 2

Play a round of frisbee golf, a game of beach volleyball, or relax on the beach. Ice cream, snacks, cold drinks and ice are available for sale on site. We also boast a large floating swim dock with slide, SUPs, kayaks, canoes, a bike pump track, a life size maze, and a hot sauna.
