Soft Adventure - Stay & Raft

Trip Overview

OWL Rafting’s Soft Adventure Whitewater Rafting – Stay & Raft is a 2 day package includes a fun whitewater rafting trip and an evening at the OWL waterfront resort playing and relaxing.

Whitewater Rafting

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

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, and a life size maze. Ice cream, snacks, cold drinks and ice are available for sale on site.

					So much fun!! What a fabulous time.  Stayed for 2 nights in a Cabana.  We were 2 seniors and 2 children.  Wish we’d done this sooner.  Next time will be the medium intensity!  Our guide Pete was fantastic as were the other guides.

					Let the Scottush guide wear his kilt!!! Great family fun doing medium intensity rafting at Owl! Well organized. Wonderful staff and facilities. Worth renting the cabin. Cool air fed compostable toilets in clean washrooms nearby. Food was just OK this year.

Our guide was an awesome, skilled, informative and fun, Scottish guy, Pete. Should have worn Kilt with OWL logo on it for added fun!!!!

					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!

					An 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!

					So much fun! Amazing staff, food, venue, schedule and of course best rafting guide Colin! 

Medium trip down the river was great but we are definitely planning to go back for the harder level.  It was so much fun! Thank you OWL Rafting!!

					So much fun and great food too! We had such a fun trip on the Ottawa river with our guides Katie and Colin. We were a family group aged from 11 to 75 and the day was a great mix of exciting rapids, calm swimming and the chance to cliff jump. The snacks and food were delicious and the trip exceeded our expectations. We are already talking about when we can come back again!
