  1. Private wildlife tour of Parc Omega from Ottawa, Ottawa1

    1. Private wildlife tour of Parc Omega from Ottawa

    5.0· 13 reviews

    A full-day custom tour from Ottawa, visiting Parc Omega for close encounters with Canadian wildlife, including deer, elk, bison, and bears.

    My partner and I had little expectation for this tour, but it turned out to be an incredible experience. With just us and Vivi, the personal touch allowed the tour to cater to our needs, enabling us to ask many questions. Vivi guided us through the park, stopping at prime locations for photographs while sharing insights about the animals and highlighting details we might have missed otherwise. From pick-up at our hotel to drop-off, the focus remained on our interests, enhancing the experience. Just a note: if you're not comfortable with animals, especially deer, approaching closely, this tour may not suit you.S7871YBgrahamh

    2. Cruise the Ottawa River on a floating Tiki bar

    4.8· 71 reviews· 1.5 hours

    Two-hour cruise on the Ottawa River aboard a Tiki Hut — casual atmosphere, great for friends, families, and couples.

    I took my 82-year-old wife and mother on August 27 at 1:00 p.m. The two young people who greeted us were outstanding. The hour and a half tour was just right—great atmosphere, music, and service. I would definitely do this again with friends.Road504728

    4.4· 9 reviews

    Yin, our guide, demonstrated extensive knowledge of Montreal and was very considerate of our needs. We valued her warmth, flexibility, and sincerity. Additionally, we felt safe and at ease with our driver, Frank.Peter_T
