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

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

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.

5 star ratingAmazing 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.

5 star ratingSo 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!
