Package Overview

The Low + Medium Intensity Whitewater Rafting Package is a three day experience starting with a gentle low intensity whitewater rafting trip progressing to our medium intensity Adventure Rafting while staying at the OWL waterfront resort playing and relaxing.

Whitewater Rafting Day 1 – Soft Adventure

Spend your first day on our great Canadian river trip – this is a travel-path forged by First Nations, traversed by fur traders since the 1600’s and fostered by foresters at the turn of the last century. An introduction to whitewater is a full day natural roller coaster where you’ll paddle as a team – your experienced guide steers from the stern – all you have to do is listen for directions, join in and have fun. This soft adventure trip descends 8 km of beautiful scenery and tumbling whitewater, interspersed with quiet pools where you get to body surf and float in the friendly warm waters.

As the currents calm down, we transfer to the comfort of our signature Pontoon Boat where your dry clothes and a feast of freshly prepared grilled buffet awaits. Relax and reenergize while you cruise back to the OWL Resort via the historical route of the First National viewing the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield. Once back at the resort your guides will show a video presentation where you can relive your day’s adventure!

Whitewater Rafting Day 2 – Adventure

Your second day you advance to the Adventure Rafting trip on a large raft built for bigger whitewater. This type of rafting is suitable for guests who weigh a minimum of 90lbs (41kgs). You’ll paddle, splash, and roll down more challenging routes of the Ottawa River. Your experienced and passionate guide controls the raft using oars at the back, while you are paddling with your crew. You’ll get a chance to body surf and float, and possibly do some cliff jumping too – it’s up to the river!
*All participants are required to paddle.

Resort

During your stay you get full access to the OWL Resort, play a round of frisbee golf, a game of beach volleyball, or relax on the beach. The resort is not a licensed establishment so our guests are welcome to bring their own alcoholic beverages. Ice cream, snacks, cold drinks and ice are available for sale on site. We also boast a large floating swim dock with slide, SUPs, kayaks, canoes, a bike pump track, a life size maze, and a hot sauna.

Reviews

5 star ratingAmazing experience Amazing experience, our guide was fantastic. So much fun, the meals and cabins were great. Our cabin didn’t have an air conditioner so make sure you bring a fan. The fridge was also a mini fridge so make sure you ask when booking a cabin. All the staff was great and we would highly recommend this for families and friends.
