    Wilderness Tours is a white water rafting / kayaking / adventure tour company based in the outskirts of Ottawa and area. Their resort is *awesome*, with a night club, 3 volleyball nets, bungee jumping, rock climbing, hot tub, camping grounds and cabins.

    It's family friendly, however, it seems more to target a young adult age group (perhaps more so during the weekends I've went).

    My first time here was back in 2009 and I've returned again in 2011.

    FIRST TIME (2009) Aug - we were a group of 4 and were added to a group seniors (which truly - sucked). Other rafts of young groups were having way more of a good time than we were, I was truly jealous (haha, and so were my friends). Still, we had a good time. None of us in our raft fell into the rapids. The tour guide was an expert and she absolutely knew what she was doing. We felt very safe - which is important when you're doing it for the first time!

    It was raining that weekend, so I was *so* glad we rented a cabin. We were comfy all weekend!

    SECOND TIME (2011) Aug - I brought a team of 12, mix of girls and guys from 24-29 so that we could have our own raft. It was so much fun! Can't complain - our tour guide was so energetic and funny. He kept the conversations and punch lines goin. Food was decent - typical caf / BBQ food (pastas/burgers/pizza/salad bar/etc). The weather was fab (sunny, warm, no rain). Cabins were all gone, so we camped instead. We drank. We partied. We danced. We jumped into the lake, cliff jumped, played volleyball for hours with other strangers, played basketball etc.  Water was warm too. Ah, such a great weekend.

    Def recommend!! I'd come in August, only cuz I know the water is warm by then. Next time around I'm going to rent a 6 person raft for more daaangerouss ;) haha.  A few of my friends are coming back in May this year to kayak the rapids instead.
