We have been rafting 4 times on the Ottawa river with Wilderness Tours. Each time we have found the facilities excellent, the food great and the staff exceptional. On our last visit we were fortunate enough to have Matt C. as our guide. Matt's knowledge of the river and surrounding area made our trip. His ability to guide a large... More

I'm in the midst of planning my next white water rafting trip to West Virginia...and got to thinking about my first rafting experience with Wilderness Tours. I went with a group from Detroit for a weekend trip back in 2007. We stayed in the Chalets on site and had such a fab time. Everyone was very friendly, professional and accommodating.... More

We were a small management team with a goal of spending the day in a team building and bonding activity. We had a few members of the team who weren't sure they would enjoy high adventure rafting and were a bit hesitant. In preparation for the day, Steve and his team were most accommodating in working through our goals and... More

Went here for 2 nights in September with 7 other guys for a friend's bachelor weekend party. Drove up from Toronto Friday night and checked out Sunday afternoon. Pretty quick check in service and the cabin was pretty clean and fresh sheets everywhere. It got pretty cold at nights, so a sleeping bag is highly recommended. Booked the full rafting... More

Your guide Alex was awesome. My kids loved him. And this was probably the best adventure we've had. Enough thrills to keep them excited, but enough concern for safety to assuage the parents. Well done! See you next year.

It starts with your staff; they were nothing but accommodating, helpful, polite and hardworking. Brenda was always available and so helpful. When changes occurred with the number of plates Brenda said, “No... More
