Your day begins with a thorough safety briefing and paddling practice led by your guide. Above each rapid, your guide will brief you on the run.

This section of the Ottawa is like a whitewater staircase with calm pools below the rapids allowing time to rest and bask in the splendor of this beautiful river. Rafting with WT is a complete experience with time for body surfing (swimming rapids), or swimming off your floating island. This trip is also perfect for our first-time rafters to the Ottawa River.

Once you’ve reached the resort, the adventure continues on our resort.
