The boat leaves on time. The guide delivers the tour in English and French on the way out (45 mins). The return trip is silent to enjoy the cruise. It's a nice way to spend 90 minutes or so. Young kids might find it long. There is food and drink and a washroom on board.
Highly recommend the trip.

Great cruise on the Rideau
It was a pleasure seeing homes and architectural site from angles not normally seen. It was quiet and beverages were available.

Great ride!
The staff was amazing - so nice, personable, and considerate. We were on a tour with a large group so the boat was crowded but the staff did a great job of making us feel welcome. I would absolutely recommend this tour!

It was very informative. The pace was very relaxed and supplied a much needed break from the heat of the day.

Scenic and informative cruise
This cruise was easy to book, pictures and description are very accurate. Bianca (?) our bilingual guide was very informative and entertaining. The weather was perfect, early morning departure, very scenic. Made us want to cycle along the Canal or do a yoga cruise! A great way to get a different view of beautiful Ottawa.

Great Your
I'm originally from Ottawa, never sailed the Canal but skated it for many years.
This was a wonderful tour.
Cam was knowledgeable and funny and the other team members Logan and Alexei were outstanding.
Highly recommended

The tour guide was very good and made up for the confusion as to the location of the boat departure point.
IF you get to the departure site earlier than 20 minutes before the cruise, you will not find anyone or any sign to direct you to the proper departure point.
