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!

5 star ratingAwesome 2 day Scout Trip We took our Scout Group to Owl for 2 days of rafting in early June. Day 1 Soft & Day 2 Medium.
They took care of us in every way!
The facilities are amazing.
The food is delicious.
The rafting is awesome (I have rafted on major rivers in 4 countries and Owl is the only centre I have returned to).
The staff are friendly and efficient.
The guides are first class (big shout out and huge THANK YOU to Hannah, who was our guide on day 1 and made my sons day by checking in on him on day 2 even though she was not our guide).

We arrived to find the end of a rainbow!

I highly recommend Owl for an amazing adventure.
