Medium + High Intensity Whitewater Rafting Package
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.

Reviews
Amazing Wilderness Glamping with Thrilling Rapids and Delicious Food! The entire trip was amazing. I went with my husband and another couple and we stayed in the glamping tents which were cute and cozy. My husband and I love wilderness resorts and this resort did not disappoint, it's a giant (fun) summer camp for kids and adults! The views from the glamping tent were beautiful, especially at sunrise, love the beach area, and the different activities to do all around. The food was delicious and tastes like a homemade meal. We choose the medium and high intensity for our rafting trip and the rapids were fast and exciting and the guides were super helpful, professional, safe, and friendly (SHOUTOUT TO SAM AND ABI). It's incredible how strong and swift the rapids were and when you're surfing them. Whitewater rafting is lots of fun and OWL definitely did a great job with safety management while still having fun. It's a 10/10. Loved it and would come back here again.
Grand 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!
Best day ever! Our group of 4 had the best day ever with Angus!!He was encouraging, fun, and very knowledgeable.
He shared some great information and stories about the area too.
This was on my bucket list and Angus did not disappoint.
We will definitely be back again for another adventure with OWL Rafting!!
Thanks for making it the perfect day, Angus! We had a blast!!! :)
