Trip Overview

Our Adventure Whitewater Rafting Package is a 3 day experience that includes 2 days of whitewater rafting trips, and 2 nights on our waterfront Resort.

Paddle, splash, and roll down more challenging routes of the Ottawa River for two, full day excursions. Your experienced and passionate guide controls the raft using oars at the stern, while you are all paddling with your crew. Body surf and float, cliff jumping all possible – it’s up to the river! Beyond the last rapid, our signature Pontoon Boats, complete with a freshly prepared grilled buffet, and your change of clothes, await. Relax and reenergize while you cruise back to the OWL Resort viewing the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield along the historical route of the First Nations, the Voyageurs and the Log Drive.  Once back at the resort your guides will show a video presentation where you can relive your day’s adventure.

Reviews

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!
