Awesome tour and recommending for everyone to check it out - This tour was awesome, A+ This tour at the end of August 2025 was for my daughter's bachelorette. Twelve family and friends attended for this 90 minutes tour. The captain and his mates were attentive, very pleasant and fun. The music and drinks were perfect for the occasion. Cheers and thank you Gaby and all of the staff for a great experience on the Ottawa River with Palapa Tours 🥂 🍻 🍹🍹🌞

Excellent staff and great experience! - My 82-year-old wife and mother accompanied me on August 27, 25 at 1:00 p.m. The two young people who welcomed us were more than excellent!

Awkward and uncomfortable experience - What should have started out as a great experience for my wife and I started out very awkward and frustrating. We booked the Tiki hut online about an hour and a half before departure at 3pm. While we waited at the dock the Tiki hut showed up about ten minutes early and there were only six of us boarding. We were informed that only the foursome would be going on this boat and we would have to wait for the next one. I said to the rude attendant that we were booked on this one. She said NO. Were on the other one. But I said the capacity is 12 people and we are only six right now. She quipped back that we were to take the next one and we would be the only two on the other boat and said it would be here soon. And they just left! As we waited and waited for another boat to come get us it was late. Then I got a phone call from the company telling us to walk over to the other Marina on the other side of the river. I'm thinking what???!! This is a poor business model. I told the operator that we were instructed to be at the Museum of History. Now telling me to walk to other Marina and we are the only two passengers? I have bone spurs in my foot and was not happy to say the least we had to walk way the hell over to another dock. WTF? So, not wanting to lose our 170$ that we already paid we walked over to the other Marina and got picked up and the time is now 3:20pm twenty minutes late. But when we boarded the crew Emma and Vic were really nice (They bought us a drink on the house) we had a great tour and enjoyed ourselves with the staff 5 stars! But the only reason why I am giving this review two stars is that the other crew on the the other boat were unprofessional and not very accommodating. They told us that the reason we had to take the other boat was so that they could give the other crew the "Hours" for their pay. Really?? Why would you tell us about inside work drama? It's too bad that one crew set the other crew up to make it awkward and frustrating to say the least. I'm pretty sure we won't be taking this tour in the future and we are telling friends and family about this unprofessional experience. But Kudos to Capt. Vic and Emma for turning it around.
