Medium Intensity Rafting on the Ottawa River | Day Trip

Our rafting guides Sophie and Corinne were out of this world, they made our experience so memorable, the whole staff was welcoming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The value for our dollar made our 2 days and 3 nights feel like money really well spent. The facilities and recreational activities were spread out so that despite the crowd size we never waited for meals, or use of any of the free to use equipment.

Our day with OWL Rafting was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! We chose the Franky Medium-Intensity Rafting Adventure, and it was the perfect combination of excitement, beautiful scenery, laughter, and relaxation. A huge thank you to our guide, Franky. He was knowledgeable, funny, professional, and made everyone feel safe and confident from the moment we launched. His enthusiasm and passion for rafting were infectious, and he struck the perfect balance between keeping us safe and making sure we had an amazing time. He truly made the experience unforgettable. The entire operation is exceptionally well organized. From check-in and transportation to the safety briefing and equipment, everything ran smoothly. You can tell the team has been doing this for years and genuinely cares about giving guests a first-class experience. The rafting itself was fantastic, with exciting rapids that were just the right level of challenge. The scenery along the Ottawa River is stunning, and there was never a dull moment. What really sets OWL Rafting apart is that the adventure doesn't end when you leave the rapids. We had the opportunity to cliff jump (completely optional, but an absolute blast!), followed by a relaxing pontoon boat ride to a delicious riverside BBQ. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and it was the perfect way to unwind after an adrenaline-filled day on the water. From beginning to end, the experience exceeded our expectations. OWL Rafting has created far more than a rafting trip—they've created a full-day adventure that's exciting, well organized, and genuinely memorable. We can't recommend OWL Rafting and Franky highly enough. Whether it's your first time rafting or you're an experienced paddler, you'll have an incredible day. Five stars without hesitation! We left with huge smiles, wonderful memories, and we're already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Franky and the entire OWL Rafting team! 🚣🌊😊

Awesome experience great facilities great food

We did the one day high intensity rafting tour with Lucas as our tour guide. The weather was 17, it rained a bit and was windy so we were happy we rented the one piece dry suit that’s for sure!! Lucas was amazing and so was Archie (we followed each other’s rafts and he was our greeter). All of the staff was amazing and everything was well organized and perfect. I have already recommended Owl to all our friends and family. I will definitely be doing this trip again!

Amazing experience for our family (10 ppl ages 5-65). We did the low and medium rafting which was the perfect combo to include the low on day one and there was tons of activities to keep the non rafters entertained. The food was excellent and the kitchen accommodated my daughter’s multiple allergies including making adjustments to some items to ensure her safety. We stayed in cabins 1&2 which had a great little lawn to toss a baseball and for kids to run around. Will definitely return for the high intensity experience.

Ben was our guide on our raft and you couldn't ask for a more caring and friendly person. He was right there for me when I went overboard. He was very clear with his instructions and made sure we were "all on board" - lol

Outstanding experience! We had so much fun, and definitely go back again! Thank you to the OWL team, they were great!

It was a great 2 days — everything I hoped for and more. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It was my third visit. The amenities had increased from my last visit time here, wish i was younger to enjoy them. New dry sauna, volleyball courts, Frisbee golf. Licensed to serve alcohol, restaurant. Had the 2 days rafting and meals included 2 breakfast,2 lunches and one steak dinner with baked potato and corn on the cob.

Was very epic. Corbin deserves a raise and our camara man Archie does too. They were pretty darn cool. Very expensive though so poor farmers cannot afford to return. Many tears, such sadness. We cried our woes as we looked at all the fun times we had, knowing we can never afford to return. But 100% give those dudes a raise (so Corbin can fix his shirt sleeve button)
