Trip Overview

This 3 Day Soft Adventure Whitewater Rafting & Resort Package includes a fun whitewater rafting trip and a day spent at the OWL waterfront resort playing and relaxing.

Whitewater Rafting Day

Experience the 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 to enjoy a freshly grilled meal. Relax and reenergize while you cruise back to the OWL Resort and take in the beauty of the Canadian Shield. At the resort a video presentation will let you relive your day’s adventure.

Resort Day

Play a round of frisbee golf, a game of beach volleyball, or try your luck at horseshoes. We also boast a large floating swim dock right off shore, a bike pump track and a life size maze.  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.

5 star ratingAwsome time and will return again soon Had anawsome time the entire time we were at the resort. The rafting was bang on a GREAT TIME!!! A big shout out to our guide Angus who is very knowledgeable about the river and rafting. We felt very safe the entire ride down the river. I would also like to give a shout out to Luc and Pete the other guides that were on the river with us that day. They also made the trip fun and we felt safe with them there on the river with us as well. The resort is clean and the food is very good. The staff are awsome, friendly and smile a lot. There are a lot of activities you can do as well when you are not on the river rafting. I highly recommend Owl Rafting for anyone who is looking for some adventure and down time as well. I am already planning my next adventure with Owl Rafting for next year with more of my family this time!
