5 star ratingSo much fun! I took my teenagers on the medium intensity trip. What a blast! Everything was well run from arrival time at 8:30 until we left around 4:30. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. Thank you to our guide, Pete, for being amazing in every way! We felt safe on the rapids and had an awesome first time out. We’d love to do this again!

5 star ratingOWL Rafting does it right! We had a fabulous day with OWL Rafting. Our river guide, Pete, was amazing and made our adventure very memorable. We can’t stop talking about every rapid we conquered and the things we learned about the area and rafting in general. The pontoon boat ride and fantastic meal ended our daily perfectly.

4 star ratingAn unforgettable family adventure My family and I had an absolutely amazing experience with Owl Rafting. You can sense the pride of ownership at this facility, and it's evident that this pride extends to their wonderful staff. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality.

Our guide, Chris, was knowledgeable, friendly and took extra precautions to ensure our kids felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. The food, much of which was sourced from the gardens on site, was like having a home cooked meal.

The cabinas were cozy and well-appointed, with two single beds downstairs and two singles in a loft. Their proximity to the beach is ideal for parents wanting to keep an eye on older kids from the front porch. However, the thin walls mean you can clearly hear your neighbors.

We were next to a rowdy bachelor party on the first night, resulting in very little sleep. We explained the situation to Owl in the morning and they kindly moved us to the glamping tents, which, although less convenient, were cozier and provided much better sleep. If you're considering the cabinas, it's a good idea to book as a group to avoid the possibility of very loud neighbours.

Rating: 10/10 highly recommend! We will be returning for another trip.
