We are proud members of the AEQ and Rafting Momentum, which holds the “Quality and Safety” accreditation.<\/p>\n
We are also proud members of 1% for the Planet, demonstrating our commitment to the environment. We believe in protecting the nature we play in.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Seriously, why choose Rafting Momentum?”][vc_column_text]Our service is more personalized because we are the smallest rafting company on this river. Our prices are the best on the Ottawa River and there are no hidden costs or sneaky tricks. Our prices include the full day of rafting, camping, a healthy lunch (the healthiest in the world), BBQ dinner, video presentation, river equipment, a small beer or juice at the end of the day and a wonderful guide.<\/p>\n
The only thing that requires a small extra charge is the wetsuits and a copy of the video. In fact, the wetsuit is free in the spring and fall, we will only charge you for the wetsuit if we think you are being a pampered \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
And also, why us instead of another rafting company? We have dogs, beautiful, sweet and gentle dogs.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”What is your ultimate argument?”][vc_column_text]Here, you are not a number. We do not have 10 boats departing every hour which means we are not on a tight schedule. We do not have large boats that can hold 12 to 14 people, only boats of 6 to 8 people and never more than 6 boats will go down at the same time (so less waiting).<\/p>\n
And above all, we like to say that we are YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME![\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”What should I bring?”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]For Rafting :<\/p>\n
Mainly, what we mean is that we go good weather, bad weather.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”What if there is a storm?”][vc_column_text]A storm can delay a departure or slow down an excursion in progress. It is very rare for a storm to last several hours in a row. We have never cancelled an excursion since 2008. So if there is a storm, bring yourself, life is beautiful and you will see that between a big wave or a big rain, there is not so much difference ;)[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”What if it snows?”][vc_column_text]You must be confused![\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Can we die?”][vc_column_text]Yes, you can\u2026 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!
\nIf you have worries, call us and we will reassure you.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Do we eat well?”][vc_column_text]Yes, you do! We offer by the Ottawa River a healthy lunch made of fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese and various nuts that will provide you great energy for the afternoon.For those who ask: “Where is the meat?” well, I will answer them: “There is none, you do not need to eat meat every day, are you a talking hyena?”<\/p>\n
And for dinner, we have a classic BBQ with hamburgers, hot dogs and Caesar salad. For those who will ask: “And the fruits, where are the fruits?” well, I will answer them with pride: “On your plate! It’s the TOMATO in your HAMBURGER, HAHAHAHA!! You didn’t know that, huh?! The tomato is a FRUIT!!”[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”What if I have allergies?”][vc_column_text]Let us know of your allergies upon booking and we will offer you various options.<\/p>\n
… But the ideal would really be for you to find a way to go back in time and try to find the exact moment that made you become allergic and then explain it to the scientists of this world so that they can try to find better solutions. If you still can’t find it, try, if possible, to go back to the moment of your conception when you were still in your mother’s womb to see if that’s when something happened. And if you manage to go back in time, come to see me first and share your secret with me please.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”How old do you have to be to go rafting?”][vc_column_text]Age doesn\u2019t matter, you need to be over 18 kilos (40 pounds) for the Family Momentum package or 40 kilos (90 pounds) for the Adventure or Classic Momentum. We won’t accept a 3-month baby of 40 pounds.<\/p>\n
Please note that at any time, regardless of your weight, age or hair colour, you can walk down the Ottawa River.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Is it best to raft in the spring or in the summer? What are the best months to go rafting?”][vc_column_text]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\u2019s up to you!<\/p>\n
But if it’s your first time, we definitely suggest the warm months, from mid-June up to mid-September. Leave May to those who have done it before but definitely come back in May for a completely different experience :)[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Why the Ottawa River?”][vc_column_text]The Ottawa River is large and voluminous, which means there is a lot less chances to hit a rock.<\/p>\n
Its water quickly warms up starting mid-June and becomes very enjoyable for swimming. We believe the Ottawa River is holding magical heating fish.<\/p>\n
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.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Pet friendly ?”][vc_column_text]Absolutely! We love dogs and even have our own resident pups on-site. Your dog is more than welcome to join you. But we can’t bring them on the water, they can’t raft, they would eat all our lunch, they would pee everywhere, some our too nervous. But click here to see the only rafting company that bring dogs and has dogs as guides… just kidding, there is no such place.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Free parking ?”][vc_column_text]Yes. Don’t worry about hidden fees. Park your vehicle in our free parking area or drive right up to your complimentary camping site.
