4 star ratingLet the Scottush guide wear his kilt!!! Great family fun doing medium intensity rafting at Owl! Well organized. Wonderful staff and facilities. Worth renting the cabin. Cool air fed compostable toilets in clean washrooms nearby. Food was just OK this year.
Our guide was an awesome, skilled, informative and fun, Scottish guy, Pete. Should have worn Kilt with OWL logo on it for added fun!!!!

5 star ratingAn awesome time had by all! A wonderful time provided by a charismatic and knowledgeable guide!
Angus led our anxious little group through this adventure with confidence and ease. He helped calm our worries with clear instructions which were repeated and easy to understand. Angus added interesting facts and humour throughout the rafting trip and always had a solid answer for our questions. This trip is accessible for any level of rafter. I would highly recommend this experience and happily return to do it again! Thanks for the memories, Owl!

5 star ratingGrand Adventure: Grandparents with Granddaughters It all started with an expressed desire,”I’d like to try cliff jumping.” Whitewater rafting with Owl Rafting was the adventure that ensued for us(74 and 75), and the girls, 16 and 18. Owl Rafting is like summer camp for grownups, with great meals, waterfront activities , campfires every night and a beautiful setting on the Ottawa River. Our rafting guide, Pete, made the day exhilarating and entertaining for our raft of 10—the adrenaline rush of running the rapids and surfing the rapids, the teamwork of paddling together, and enjoying swimming, floating downstream and jumping off the raft. We all loved it! Highlight of our vacation!
