Book Family Rafting on the Madawaska River in Ontario’s Wilderness Region, Ontario

Summary: First time rafters. We had a fantastic time. The staff we met were wonderful. Shout out to Roxy! The water was warm. We wished it was longer. Thanks so much.

Summary: A great family day out! Part of our family did the "Family" trip and part of our family did the "adventure" trip. Family trip was a good match for most of us (super exciting for a 5 year old, enjoyable for adults, tame enough for my folks in their mid 70s). The "adventure" trip was indeed a bit more technical and more whitewater. You sit and enjoy on the family trip, you paddle if you're on the adventure trip. Both allow you opportunities to jump off a bridge (depending on water level) and swim in the river at 1 or 2 spots. The guides were friendly and welcoming. Note: You should be mobile enough to get yourself in/out of the raft and walk on some rocky terrain.

Summary: We arrived fairly early but the folks in the office suggested some things to do while we were waiting. I enjoyed a delicious latte before suiting up and meeting our guides. We rode the Black Pearl with Reagan as our guide. She provided a safe & fun rafting adventure for two first timers (adult & 11 yr). Awesome time with Reagan @ Madawaska Kanu Company. We will definitely return!

Summary: August 2025 Our second trip. Amazing fun time! Thank you Ragan, Roxy and we had the absolute pleasure to have Stephanie as our guide!!

Summary: We took our grandkids, ages 6 & 7 , on the family float trip. We all loved it. Our guide Roxie was great. So nice & thoughtful. Hopefully we can do it another time. Thanks to everyone.

Summary: A wonderful adventure for our grand children! they had so much fun!! The reactions to the rapids was too much!! Thank you for making their summer with grandpa and grandma memorable

Summary: This was my 3rd, five day white water kayaking trip with MKC. It was another fabulous week. I always choose the all inclusive option. I camp, but there are a number of indoor options for those who prefer that. I select the full meal plan, as I really don't want to do my own cooking before I paddle, or after a long day on the water. Don't let the young cooks worry you. (They're students working the summer months. Some of them are in culinary arts training.) The meals are better that a lot of restaurants. There's always vegetarian options at every meal. I like this because, and I like variety, and sometimes I want a change. It doesn't matter what your skill level is, you'll have fun and will learn. On this last trip, there was a couple in their 80s, who wanted a new adventure to try out. How great is that. The instructors/guides always give positive feedback. You'll never hear you did anything wrong. (Typically, you all ready figured that out.) The guide will say something like: "Try this technique, and see how you like it." The guide will then demonstrate the technique a couple of times, and watch you trying it, while shouting encouragement to you. Plus, the rest of the people in your group will be cheering you on. When someone in the group does their first practice roll, or any combat roll, the cheers are thunderous. The grin on the person who just did the roll, says it all. This year I was in seniors week. (I'm 73.) Virtually everyone had their own equipment. No worries if you need gear. MKC has excellent equipment, and will outfit you with everything you need, appropriate to your experience level. If you want to try a performance boat, they'll let you try one. All in all, it's a great experience. I plan to return next year for my 4th time. Give it a try!

Summary: Great experience. Reagan did an awesome job on our family rafting experience. She along with her partner, Tatiana made us feel safe at all times. My 10 year old grandson had an amazing first time experience and can’t wait to come back to try the Adventure Rafting!

Summary: Thank you Tatiana and Reagan!!! Great fun family rafting guides. This us a affordable trip the whole family will enjoy. Will return for adventure rafting for sure!

Summary: Absolutely fantastic experience!!!! I took my three grandchildren, aged 7 - 15 for the two hour family raft experience. Our guide made the adventure so much fun for all of us. Our neighbours also joined our raft, so we had a total of 11. We will definitely return for another adventure.
