Ottawa Boat Cruise - Rideau Canal Cruise

The Rideau Canal Cruise was lovely. Unique perspective of Ottawa. Smooth, quiet boat ride with good info from the guide.

We attended the serial killer cruise and had a super fun evening- would highly recommend if you like escape rooms 😊. Excellent staff, service and experience.

We learned a lot about Ottawa and saw things we would have otherwise missed. The city appears much more attractive from the canal.

Great weather day, informative, funny, and professional tour guide! Only down side was the plastic chairs which were sadly not very comfortable.

This was a pleasant cruise down the canal on a comfortable electric boat. The boat has a bar onboard that saw some steady traffic. The star of the cruise was the bilingual tour guide Melody. She was a fantastic host. She was entertaining and personable, and interacted with every person on board. She turned a potentially slow cruise into an engaging experience. We tipped her afterwards-worth it.

It was a good decision to just take this tour while on a business tour to Ottawa
Good value for money

We took this ride with friends from the US and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide (September 23rd at 2h30 - forgot his name) was excellent and expressed himself thoroughly in French and in English. We'd taken this cruise a couple of times before and are happy to know that the new boats are powered by electricity which is environmentally friendly. Highly recommended

Pascal, Andy and Logan were great hosts on our Ottawa Boat Tour! I would suggest it to anyone. Great value for an educational and lovely ride around Ottawa.

I had a lovely experience yesterday (Sept. 22nd, 2024) on the Rideau Canal Cruise that departed at 2:30 pm.

The tour guide, Pascale, did an amazing job guiding the tour in both English and French! Her tour was highly interactive and informative; her way of delivering the material invited much laughters as well and made the tour more than fun! I loved, as well, that after everything was talked about, Pascale walked around the boat and gave everyone a chance to ask questions about anything that’s mentioned on the tour, Ottawa Etc. !

Andie did a great job selling the drink and snacks, and interacting with tourists onboard who went to get something. I was feeling beyond thirsty today so I went twice for drinks and had great customer services both times. There was a kid on the boat and Andie surely made her happy !

After all, it was great to meet Pascale and Andie ( I hope I spell their names correctly). I will look forward to bringing a friend to the cruise at some point so they can enjoy the amazing service by them.

Terry, Jonathan and Logan provided us an informative, relaxing, fun tour, explaining all the sights along the tour. Highly recommend.

Boldt Castle, the Canadian side shoreline, the cottages along the New York channel. Our 47th wedding anniversary trip with many memories!

Terry, Jonathan and Captain Logan were great! Fun experience! Very relaxing and informative. Loved the 70’s music!!!

only the history secction. i do not care for the color of the flowers.
was very interesting to hear about how the canal was made/digged.
thats about it. very unmeborable tour.

A potentially peaceful & picturesque cruise along UNESCO world heritage site canal ruined by gabbling guide, miraculously incomprehensible in both English & French. Not helped by garrulous geriatric group booking.

The cruise was very enjoyable. I appreciated our guide. The parking, or lack of, was very frustrating- it took 45 min to find a parking garage that wasn't full.

Have been to Ottawa numerous times, but have never done the canal cruise. It was informative, the right amount of time, and a lot of fun. I would add it to your scheduled visit.

Very relaxing, calming, relieved a lot of my stress. Terry was very entertaining. Very informative with lots of historical facts
