The Paula D is ideal for an excursion. You have the opportunity to see the beautiful landscape of Ottawa, and relax and enjoy a nice cold beverage on the large upper deck. In addition, on the lower deck, our passengers will find our canteen and our bar (with permission to sell alcohol). The cruise offers a spectacular view of the city and allows you to see the river as it was used long ago: as a highway to transport resources. You will also see the natural beauty of the region that captured the imagination of the first European explorer Samuel de Champlain.

A pleasant Ottawa tour on water.

Although it was the guide's first day on the job, he was exceptional. Flipping over from French to English, flawlessly bilingual, telling us about the iconic buildings and interesting Ottawa history.

Extremely Disappointed 😞!

You can not drive to this location. The address has to be walked to, which we discovered when attempting to find it, and my husband is handicapped so we never made it to the dock. I requested information for handicapped when I purchased but no one responded.

A must Do Tour!!

The boat was an awesome way to visit the Ottawa area from a river perspective. The staff was 100% on point with both hospitality and local knowledge. Out guide Cam was on his first day and was a true pro. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!

Useless instructions and staff.

They gave the address as 1 Canal. This is not accurate. We drove around for 45 minutes trying to find the place. We would have had to drive through the parliament to get there. Then we find out no parking so we had to go to the mall to park. Finally found the kiosk after the useless person on the phone was no help. The lady at the kiosk told 3 seniors to run to make the boat. I asked for a refund and they said no. Had to rebook for later in the day but the moment was gone.
