What Guests Are Saying
This was the coolest Ottawa experience I have had since moving here in 1995! What an epic way to view the spectacular fireworks, from right on the water on the historic Rideau Canal in a kayak, while expertly and safely guided by OVAP. Excellent value for the cost - just show up and enjoy! OVAP takes care of everything!
