5 star ratingSo much fun and great food too! We had such a fun trip on the Ottawa river with our guides Katie and Colin. We were a family group aged from 11 to 75 and the day was a great mix of exciting rapids, calm swimming and the chance to cliff jump. The snacks and food were delicious and the trip exceeded our expectations. We are already talking about when we can come back again!

5 star ratingHighest Recommendation for a Great Operation I was really impressed with the whole operation at OWL Rafting. Their dedication to safety and keeping clients informed throughout the day really added to everyone's enjoyment. The crew was enthusiastic and I want to give a special shout out to my guide Pete whose positive attitude and attention to detail was extraordinary. As someone who works in high risk environments, I thought OWL's management of safety throughout the experience was second to none. It was clear that the crew loved their work and was dedicated to protecting and helping others experience this natural wonder in the best way possible. - Jill Heinerth, Explorer in Residence Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Honorary Ottawa Riverkeeper
