Sport Rafting Day Trip on the Ottawa River

Sport Rafting Day Trip

Are you looking for the absolute wildest ride? Well, you found it!

The guided sport rafting program is our premier rafting program at Wilderness Tours. It’s designed to get your heart pumping and ensure you don’t leave dry. This is our version of rock ‘em sock ‘em rafting and not for the faint of heart.

We use Marvia’s 14 ft, 7-person rafts for our sport rafting program. These are the smallest rafts on the Ottawa River, which means you are guaranteed to feel and experience every single wave and ripple on the Ottawa. Our professional, certified and highly qualified guides have pioneered rafting on the Ottawa River since 1975. We named the rapids and blazed the trail to ensure you have the most enjoyable safest experience on the River.

Once you’ve reached the resort, the adventure continues on our beachfront. From swimming, to flat water kayaks and SUP boards there’s an adventure for everyone.

Each sport rafting day can be added as its own single day of rafting or as an upgrade to any of our multi-day programs like our 3 Day Getaway Package or Resort Getaway.
