What does rafting mean to us?
For us, rafting is a fun and fabulous adventure to be shared with family and friends. It’s a great day spent in nature, on a beautiful river with lots of rapids. It’s a marvellous water sport. But mainly, rafting is an amazing opportunity to create memories and a great excuse to celebrate friendship and family! Because, when you plan a trip of rafting, you think about those you see often and the one you would like to see more.
What if it rains?
Rafting is a water sport, rain is water, we drink water, many of us have pools filled with water… Water is a wonderful thing!
Mainly, what we mean is that we go good weather, bad weather.
What if there is a storm?
A storm can postpone a start or slow down an excursion, but rarely does it ever result in a cancellation.
What if it snows?
You must be confused!
Can we die?
Yes, you can… But you can also fall down stairs, get hit by a car, be bit by an enraged raccoon or trip over someone sitting on a sidewalk eating a strawberry donut and fall into a manhole!
If you have worries, call us and we will reassure you.
Do we eat well?
Yes, you do! We offer a healthy lunch made of fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese and various nuts that will provide you great energy for the afternoon. And for dinner, we have a classic BBQ with hamburgers, hot dogs and Caesar salad.
What if I have allergies?
Let us know of your allergies upon booking and we will offer you various options.
How old do you have to be to go rafting?
Age doesn’t matter, you need to be over 40 pounds for the Family Momentum package or 90 pounds for the Adventure or Classic Momentum. We won’t accept a 3-month baby of 40 pounds.
Is it best to raft in the spring or in the summer?
The Ottawa river is wide with strong rapids. There is water all year long and each season offers its advantages. In the spring, you will find the rapids a bit more voluminous, while the summer offers more opportunities for your raft to surf. It’s up to you!
Why the Ottawa River?
The Ottawa River is large and voluminous, which means there is a lot less chances to hit a rock.
Its water quickly warms up starting mid-June and becomes very enjoyable for swimming. We believe the Ottawa River is holding magical heating fish.
And since the Ottawa River has many dams upstream that regulate the water level, we don’t fear dryness, we always have a lot of water.
