Kaleidoscope Kayaking

Welcome to our third annual Kaleidoscope Kayaking!

This is an unforgettable, immersive night-time kayaking experience that takes you on a mesmerizing paddle down the historic Rideau Canal in Ottawa!

Hop in one of our Oru Inlet folding kayaks and enjoy the serene waterway, surrounded by the enchanting glow of LED lights adorning your boat! The lights create a spectacle of colours that dance along the canal's surface!

This two-hour guided adventure gives you a breathtaking view of the spectacular Les Grands Feux du Casino Lac-Leamy fireworks show. With the shimmering skyline as your backdrop, the vibrant bursts of light and colour will captivate your senses and make this a truly unforgettable experience like no other!

There are 6 dates available for 2025:

This guided tour takes about 30-40 minutes to paddle from the launch point to the fireworks. Please stay with the tour guide at all times.
