Ottawa City Raftingis the urban equivalent to Wilderness Tours.
It was almost 40 years ago, Joe Kowalski pioneered the now world famous whitewater an hour west of the city. From just a handful of enthusiasts in 1975, Wilderness Tours has guided more than a million down the Ottawa's awesome whitewater since. Wilderness Tours grew to become Canada's largest adventure company out the desire to "share the magic" found in whitewater.
That desire to share was part of being a river guide at Wilderness Tours. It became ingrained in Dave Stibbe, a long time guide and now educator. From his home in Britannia, Dave viewed the majesty of the river daily. While not the pristine wilderness of the rapids upstream, the urban rapids provided their own unique and beautiful city views, capped by the very visible Parliament Buildings downstream.
Dave is heading up Ottawa City Rafting along with ling time WT Family Raft Trip Leader, Jim Antonakos. Just between Dave and Jim is more than five decades of experience. They are excited about sharing the magic of urban whitewater with you.
