Intro to OWL Package
Trip Overview
New in 2025 our Intro to OWL Package brings our Low Intensity Soft Adventure trips in a shorter format. This package includes two half days of whitewater rafting for everyone. Your experienced and passionate guide controls the raft using oars from the rear of the raft. Soft Adventure trips run the more conservative lines of the river. Body surf and float, paddle and play with this 2 hour trip on the Ottawa 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 via the historical route of the First Nations, the Voyageurs and the Log Drive, 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.
