f you look around our Ottawa region you’ll come across some great
resorts that offer an afternoon, day or weekend of adventure. Wilderness
Tours (WT) is such a place, but in order for you to begin to appreciate
what awaits you, read on as you gain a closer outline of each facet of this
35-year-old business.
In 1975, Joe Kowalski pioneered rafting on the Ottawa. Since then,
WT crews have named the rapids and pioneered the routes, introducing
more than a million people to the excitement of whitewater than all
others combined. Other activities they have waiting include:
whitewater rafting
Whether you’re up for the high adventure, or out to enjoy some gentle
family rafting, WT staff will take you down the river channels to make
your day.
mOuntain biking
Explore 600 acres of scenic trails or bike the spectacular whitewater
of the Ottawa River on the beautiful Rafters to Rapids Trail. Beginner,
intermediate and advanced levels available.
whitwater kayaking
Radical kayak designs featuring shorter lengths have turned the
paddling world literally upside down. Whether you call it rodeo, freestyle
or playboating, it’s hot, it’s now and it’s “holy land” is the Ottawa River.
While the technique and boat designs make hot boaters hotter, they
take the steep out of the learning curve for beginner and novice paddlers.
There has never been a better time for you to start paddling.

at each meal, and licensed dining. Cozy accommodations and scenic
