We went here with another family because they were the only company who allowed my 11 year old son to go adventure rafting since he was over 90 pounds. He was thrilled and we all got soaked and had a blast! Highly recommend this family vacation! Great food on the pontoon boat after rafting and exceptionally well trained and fun... More

Our two families (4 kids 10-12) and 4 adults were able to get our own raft with guide which made the day extra special. Be prepared for a long day and you may want to take some water bottles that can be attached to the raft as the kids can get quite thirsty from all the excitement. If the kids... More

The Bad- Some of the staff seem to have forgotten about customer service and the price we were paying to be there.-1st-Monday night dinner..the staff ate before the handful of guests. When we were eating we felt like we were intruding on them. -2nd- We purchased a video... More

A few friends and I were looking for some fun somewhat close to home and boy did we find it! We had an amazing time, the rafting was awesome! I can't wait to go back and try a 6-person raft (we were in the larger boat). The guides were awesome, they were so much fun. I felt kind of like... More

I did the family rafting (2 nights) at OWL with my 12 and 10 year old. The rafting trip was great, we felt safe with the knowledgeable guide (Tim). The stop to cliff jump was great fun for the kids (and myself) and great fun body surfing at the end of the river. The resort was exceptionally clean. The washrooms... More

I've been rafting three times, but this was the first time with OWL. They are very well organized and the facilities at base camp are clean and neat. Other reviewers comment on the trip itself - keep in mind that the river ebbs and flows, and if you want a wilder ride, plan to go early in the season when... More

This was my second, and my husband's first trip with OWL. It was more than apparent that the guides were very concerned with safety as we were constantly reminded and verbally tested about what do during each rapid, while retaining the fun factor. We felt we were in good hands with the experienced guides and a very good value for... More
