Ottawa River: Family Rafting Day Trip with water park｜Canada

Begin your day at the resort with a comprehensive safety briefing and hands-on paddling instruction tailored to first-time rafters and young participants ages 5 and up. Expert guides lead every run, teaching basic paddling technique, river-reading skills, and safe raft behavior so everyone — from nervous beginners to enthusiastic kids — feels confident and included.

On the river, expect long, rolling waves, easy drops, and calm stretches ideal for spotting wildlife, taking family photos, and enjoying the scenic shoreline. The pace is deliberately family-friendly: plenty of time to splash, swim at gentle rapdis, and practice paddling together, with optional playful features and supervised swims when conditions allow.

The Family Rafting Day Trip includes quality safety gear — helmets, lifejackets, paddles — and sturdy, stable group rafts that are forgiving for first-timers and comfortable for younger guests. Departures include a relaxed snack break at a scenic spot as well as a full lunch at our resorts' restaurant so families can refuel, swap stories, and enjoy riverside amenities.

Before or after your float, take advantage of our beach front facilities, inflatable water park, kayaks, SUPs and on-site facilities to extend the day.
