Unique in Canada! You can now rent an electric boat with its captain for a beautiful cruise on the Ottawa river. Your personal limousine on the water takes up to 10 passengers and has an alcohol license. Relax and enjoy the privacy of your own boat in company of associates, friends or family. Open everyday from mid-May to mid-October. The ideal cruise is between 2 and 3 hours and will take you to the most beautiful sites in the national capital region.

Dan's techniques are unlike anything I have ever experienced. He is so original and puts all of himself in his work. I have had other massages which are ok but seem like text book mechanical repetition of motions learned. Dan puts all of his soul and energy in every movement and no two massages are identical. He responds to what your body needs at that time. I view him as a brilliant artist who is performing a symphony, creating masterpieces with each movement, each breath; it is pure bliss and brings you to levels of relaxation and peace like I have never experienced. Dan has the energy of a healer, and it shows in everything he does. He is kind and generous and funny and simply in tune with his clients. I cannot recommend him enough!!!

A must to visit! Gatineau park is just beautiful. Close to Ottawa, with so many lakes including Pink lake (green), trails, wildlife, breathtaking views especially from Belvèdere where you can see as far as the Outaouais River. Good variety of restaurants (Chelsea) it does not matter the season of the year, each one is unique in its own way. In Autunm enjoy the colors is just magic!!! My favorite place in the Outaouais.

Great place to visit, may be a bit hard for some to walk up from the parking lot, but worth it. Makes for great photos. A nice walk with flowers around, the 'prime minister's chalet ' more a tea and coffee area. Those ruins were the first places i visited as a kid and still is a joy to this day. I prefer spring or fall to visit but summer is good also
