Trip Overview

This 3 Day Sport Whitewater Rafting and Resort Package includes our most thrilling whitewater rafting trip and a day spent at the OWL waterfront resort playing and relaxing.

Whitewater Rafting Day

Paddle, surf, and splash down more challenging routes of the Ottawa River for a full day excursion. Our smaller sport raft guided by an experienced professional and a crew of keen paddlers will give you the wildest experience. 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 National 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!

Resort Day

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

5 star ratingHighest Recommendation for a Great Operation I was really impressed with the whole operation at OWL Rafting. Their dedication to safety and keeping clients informed throughout the day really added to everyone's enjoyment. The crew was enthusiastic and I want to give a special shout out to my guide Pete whose positive attitude and attention to detail was extraordinary. As someone who works in high risk environments, I thought OWL's management of safety throughout the experience was second to none. It was clear that the crew loved their work and was dedicated to protecting and helping others experience this natural wonder in the best way possible. - Jill Heinerth, Explorer in Residence Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Honorary Ottawa Riverkeeper
