What To Expect

Our low intensity rafts are perfect for first timers or for people looking for a gentle ride, who are over the 50lbs/23kg weight requirement. You'll begin your day with an in-depth briefing which outlines all important safety considerations and personal protective equipment. Afterwards we'll transport you and your group to our river put-in where you'll meet your guide and board your raft. Roughly 5 hours of white water adventure await you as you travel the same route as the voyageurs hundreds of years ago. At the end of your rafting trip, you'll meet our pontoon boat where we will serve you a freshly cooked BBQ meal along with a variety of salads and other treats. Vegetarian and gluten free options are available at your request. Upon your return to the OWL Resort, you will view your trip through the lens of our video kayaker who records the fun for you.

Q: Will I get seasick on Low Intensity Rafting on the Ottawa River | Day Trip?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
