Itinerary

Admission included90 min

The Paula D is ideal for an excursion. You have the opportunity to see the beautiful landscape of Ottawa, and relax and enjoy a nice cold beverage on the large upper deck. In addition, on the lower deck, our passengers will find our canteen and our bar (with permission to sell alcohol). The cruise offers a spectacular view of the city and allows you to see the river as it was used long ago: as a highway to transport resources. You will also see the natural beauty of the region that captured the imagination of the first European explorer Samuel de Champlain.

Useless instructions and staff.

They gave the address as 1 Canal. This is not accurate. We drove around for 45 minutes trying to find the place. We would have had to drive through the parliament to get there. Then we find out no parking so we had to go to the mall to park. Finally found the kiosk after the useless person on the phone was no help. The lady at the kiosk told 3 seniors to run to make the boat. I asked for a refund and they said no. Had to rebook for later in the day but the moment was gone.

Stunning river cruise

Excellent experience on the Ottawa River Boat cruise! Wendy was a fantastic guide and we would highly recommend the tour. Recommend going early in your trip to ensure you get all the advice you're given for exploring Ottawa during the tour. Thank you very much.

I must do while you are in Ottawa.

Good value for money for an afternoon seeing downtown Ottawa from a new vantage point. Considering most of their customers are seniors the music was too ruckus. Some music a little slower and maybe from the 60s and 70s or 80swould have been appreciated
