Why is the Ottawa River Famous?
Warm Water, Big Waves, Deep, and Clean - The Ottawa
White water rafting is the best way to experience the world-renowned Ottawa river. The River splits into channels that allow for different difficulty levels from Gentle Family Rafting to High Adventure. For big waves, speed and thrills, check out our High Adventure options! Looking for a smoother ride? Hop on one of our gentle tours. No matter which trip you choose, you’ll experience the stunning wilderness of the Ottawa River.
Yes 100%, you’ll be wet all day long!
When the sun is out all you’ll need is sun block and your swinging trunks, but if mother nature isn’t cooperating on your rafting day, no worries, you’ll be wet all day long. For our full what to bring list please visit this link.
With the four levels of intensity available to you, its simply a matter of choosing what level of adventure you and your group are seeking.
