We scheduled a rafting tour Friday, Sept 23rd. They cancelled without notifying us. Apparently, they ended their season early??? it would have been nice to know as we came from Portland, Oregon. No attempt to notify us. They did refund after we called them and said reservations was to notify us. They didn't.

An octogenarian, I took part in a group of 10 (myself, son, and 8 grandchildren) on an excellent rafting experience provided by Ottawa City Rafting, 18th July. It was indeed a memorable occasion. I even jumped from the cliff face at the end of the voyage! Also I am glad we could start at 12 midday because of the bad weather in the late afternoon.
We had an excellent informed guide named Oliver who made the trip interesting and enjoyable. Our guide Oliver took some photos.

Had an amazing experience with our guides Josh & Olivia. Loved the rapids, the lazy river and the sunset paddle.
Well worth it! Thanks

Did the 3 hour family rafting trip on the Ottawa River with our multigenerational family including 2 eight year olds, their parents, and us, the grandparents. Felt very safe doing this activity during Covid.
Our family of 6 were given our own raft which usually can hold 12 people. Our guide Emmy sat at the back about 6 feet back.
Boat had a motor which she used at various times, so paddling was not too intense. We went through 3 rapids and had opportunities to leave the raft for body surfing, cave jumping, lazy river floating and swimming.
Drinks were provided.
Life jackets and helmets
were sanitized upon exiting.
Our group had our own van to shuttle back to our car. There was plastic between the driver and passengers.
It was a really fun day for both adults and kids.

These trips are great fun. Exciting rapids, educational stories, sensational views of the city, swimming (if you want), paddling, cliff jumping and more. A great fun and safe way to spend your morning or afternoon in the national capital.

My family did not know what to expect when we booked this awesome adventures. My moody 13 yr old exclaimed at the end of the trip "It was unexpectedly fun". My 10 year old loved the whole thing. I don't swim and am typically scared of water but loved every moment of this trip - you don't have to jump into the water if you don't want to ... but I did the lazy river which was so refreshing. Make sure to go to the bathroom before you head onto the boat. They do provide water, juice or pop on the ride. The crew was funny, bright, fantastic and accommodating.
They provide everything, life jackets, helmets, drinks and transport back to the where you parked your car. Highly recommend this adventures

Had an amazing time. Really great to be out of comfort zone, swimming in rapids and jumping off boulders. Guides were awesome, very friendly, fun and knowledgeable.

We have 3 grandchildren 12, 10 and 3 1/2. I'm not sure about the little one but she is "full of life" and loves the water. Would grandpa and gramma be wise to bring them?
Hi Mike,
Our trip has a minimum age requirement of 5 years so your little one will have to wait a year and a bit. That being said, the trip would be perfect for the rest of your family! We have a few awesome rapids and swimming activities that make for a great day on the water. Hope to see you out with us soon!

What time does it start? When does it end?
I am 62. Will I be completely exhausted?
Is there bathroom breaks?
Do you furnish the bicycle?
