Review of Wilderness Tours

Located about hour and fifteen minutes from downto...

Located about hour and fifteen minutes from downtown Ottawa. Easy to get to.
Better signage providing direction to their guests is recommended. Overall, we had a great time.
We had our white water rafting booked and paid for online. We drove down to their facility, and were greeted by a employee and received wristbands which were used as identification. We had to drive down to the camp site (directions to camp were not clear, and had to ask a camper for directions).

The camp is a huge area that consists of a restaurant, change rooms, cabins, a camping area, lots of parking space, and beachfront access. We gathered In a area for an orientation which consisted of emergency protocols while in the water, etc. We received our equipment; helmet, oars, life jacket. Then we were taken by a bus to the rafting start (roughly 10 minute ride). Upon arrival we got in our rafts received briefing and met our guide for the day.

We enjoyed our rafting experience, we had to skip a few rapids, that took away from the experience. We were provided with a option of Water, or juice and a small granola bar. This was not sufficient as everyone was hungry at this point. Majority of the river was calm, which allowed us to take a dip in the cool water.

It was a fun trip, the kids loved it, and we got to enjoy the outdoors. Having been indoors for so many months, anything seems fun. Definitely give it a try.
I could not take pictures of us rafting, had to leave behind my phone, sadly.
