Trip Overview

Our Medium + High Intensity Whitewater Rafting Package is a 3 Day Package including 2 action packed days of whitewater rafting, along with full access to the OWL waterfront resort to play & relax.

Whitewater Rafting Day 1 – Adventure

Paddle, splash, and roll down more challenging routes of the Ottawa River for a full day excursion. 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.

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 Nations, 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 – Sport

Today you are hopping in a smaller raft to navigate more difficult lines where there is a high chance of flipping! – Hold on tight!

Play a round of frisbee golf, a game of beach volleyball, or relax on the beach. We also boast a large floating swim dock right off shore, and a life size maze.  Ice cream, snacks, cold drinks and ice are available for sale on site.

5 star ratingAn awesome time had by all! A wonderful time provided by a charismatic and knowledgeable guide!
Angus led our anxious little group through this adventure with confidence and ease. He helped calm our worries with clear instructions which were repeated and easy to understand. Angus added interesting facts and humour throughout the rafting trip and always had a solid answer for our questions. This trip is accessible for any level of rafter. I would highly recommend this experience and happily return to do it again! Thanks for the memories, Owl!
