Best Thing You’ll Do in Ottawa. - Absolutely perfect evening aboard for Canada Day fireworks. Luka manned the helm and Mia is stupidly cute/fun. There aren’t A TON of excursions to do in Ottawa, but fortunately this one exists and is absolutely perfect. You’re obviously thinking about booking it, just do it. 10/10

Fun evening cruising along the Ottawa River - Fairly well stocked bar. Bring your own snacks. Get a spot where you can see the TV to learn a bit about the sights you will see. Crew was very friendly, and fun and had lots of energy. Accessories and musical instruments were provided. Good play list.

Great afternoon on the water! - We had so much fun on our tour! The staff were welcoming and helpful. We are planning a trip back already, we are thinking of booking two charters in a row next time so we can do a 3 hour tour! Highly recommended booking on this tour with a group of friends. We took many pictures of some of the great views.

Palapa Tours in Ottawa: A Perfect Family Adventure! - Our experience with Palapa Tours in Ottawa was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. Their friendly and accommodating nature made us feel right at home.

Under the weather - Unfortunately we took the cruise on a very windy day, making it impossible to really enjoy any sites. We were only able to cross the river and “park” at the outlet of the locks. We ended the cruise before the allotted time due to conditions. Our host and hostess were terrific and made the best of a bad weather situation.

Deceiving description - Although we found the ride enjoyable and relaxing, the experience was not at all as described. Viator says we can book up to 12 people but it doesn’t say that if you book for less, you may have strangers on your tour. Also, it says that you can plug your music to the bluetooth system, but they charge you a dollar for each song (unless you book for 12 people). The drinks are very very sweet, and we asked a few times for drinks -offered on the menu- that they did not have. The white wine was not refrigerated. That being said, the staff was kind, the ride was smooth and the scenery was beautiful, I just wish they were more honest about the description.
