RAFTING & BUNGEE

Whitewater Rafting and Bungee Jumping with Great Canadian Bungee!

Are you ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush? Combine whitewater rafting on the Ottawa River and a 200 foot (60.96 meters) bungee jump and you’ve got an overload of adventure! Esprit and Great Canadian Bungee have joined forces to provide you with the Ultimate Adventure package.

Raft Canada’s most famous whitewater river. Featuring great Canadian wilderness and spectacular high volume rapids, the Esprit “Two-Channel” Day Trip will take you down both the Middle and the Main channels of the Ottawa River. Only Esprit offers you both channels of the river in the same day. That means twice the rapids, twice the adventure, twice the excitement and a bigger bang for your buck!

Looking for the highest bungee jump in North America? Then look no further. Just 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa is “The Rock”, home to Great Canadian Bungee’s 200 ft. Goliath. Here you’ll find one of the world’s most spectacular and unique Bungee Jumping sites. Visualize an amphitheater of solid limestone, 200 ft. high, surrounding a 160 ft. deep aqua-blue, spring-fed lagoon. This is the only place in the Americas where one can experience a 200 ft. head (or body) dip. Even your 160 ft. rebound is higher than the entire jump height of any other site in Canada or the US!

What to Bring

Rafting: All your mandatory safety equipment is provided for you. Therefore, all you need to bring with you are some personal items to help make your day even more enjoyable. We recommend that you bring a pair of shoes or sandals to wear on the river (they will get wet!), your swimsuit and/or shorts, sunscreen, water bottle, towel and a change of clothes. If you are joining us during the early spring (April & May), we highly recommend that you bring an extra fleece or wool sweater, fleece socks and running shoes (versus sandals) for extra thermal layering under your wetsuit.

Bungee Jumping: You will need to have footwear that can be securely fastened to your feet (running shoes or sport sandals. please, no flip flops or clogs). As you will be jumping over water, we strongly recommend that you wear clothing that can get wet.
