AMAZING rafting experience

I have been 5 times now and every time I can't imagine that it could be better then the last time, but it was. This time I brought my 3 teenage children (14-20). It was a blast. The staff is amazing. They are all so kind and social. We had Brendon Shaw as our rafting guide. He was so patient, soft s...

Had a great time! Roberto was a fun rafting guide, make sure you follow his instructions .
We are a group of 6 and want to appreciate how they were sensitive to our special needs of eating halal. They made sure it was done on a separate grill. Thanks guys, means a lot to us!

Very well organized tour, great emphasis on safety. They are also innovating and moving forward, love the fact that you can pre-load your bracelet band with a pre-set value so that you can use it for drinks-food etc. Love that they take the time to organize so many events over the weekend.

TL;DR: 2 hours is not a "full day of rafting"

Friday, June 7th was our "Classic High Adventure Day Trip" that I booked in early May. According to the website, this is a "Full day of rafting. 10:30am-5pm" and includes a BBQ lunch and each trip "is about four to six hours in length".

Camped here for two nights, unfortunately through a storm. Camp site wasn't very busy so lots of choice where to put the tent up, clean bathrooms and showers are good. Food very good and not massively over priced. Not been rafting yet so will have to update review after that!

Had a wonderful time on the High Adventure tour. The guides were helpful and the river was fun without feeling dangerous. The resort was also a great experience with tons to do and good food, with an all-you-can-eat salad bar. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a fun adventure.

This is a must for adventure seekers who also like to party. The campsite is similar to a music festival, so come ready to have fun. Joel (the owner) is a perfect host, and he even comes on all the raft trips. Book in advance to get the best deals.

Rafting is a great way to enjoy the weather and soak in the natural beauty of the Ottawa River. The guides are knowledgeable about the area and are focused on ensuring that their guests have a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.

Our guide was amazing and very friendly. He was very informative and engaging with conversations. However, peanut free snacks were not provided during the tour. There was no chance to mention food allergies before rafting. Also, due to covid 19, they had to put people in smaller groups in the rafts....

Guide service was great. The area of the Ottawa River they take you down is pretty tame for the most part. You'll hit 5 or 6 sets of rapids and paddle back in to a few of them. Even when you flip the raft you are pushed in to calm water. I expected a few more sets of rapids for a 5 hour "high in...

If you are vegan, you got options from fruits to pizzas to veggie burgers. Staff isnsuper cool and friendly. Its a must go recommendati...

The rafting was amazing for my first time. Our raft guide Connor was very helpful and gave my family and I helpful tips. The food here is amazing and very tasty. The only thing I would recomend is that you bring your own water as you cant drink the water at your campground or lodge.

Better signage providing direction to their guests is recommended. Overall, we had a great time.

Had a great time rafting. A good meal at the start of the day, followed by a half day of rafting and a beer waiting for us at the end. Our guide was amazing, which was common as all the people that work there really enjoy what they do and it shows. The food and drinks back at the property were good,...

Super fun day! We did the classic rafting day trip; it's a full day of rafting, cliff jumping, and swimming, with lunch. Our guide was really enthusiastic and made sure we all knew what to do in case someone falls off the boat. Our trip day was a bit chilly, but still very enjoyable.

Great weekend trip for rafting and mountain biking. Generally well put together, entertaining guides, good equipment. Food is reasonable, prices are too. The super deluxe cabins fit 4 to sleep comfortably and 8 to hang out in. Will absolutely be back.
