Most Northern trips leave from Ottawa. Whats there to see?
Ottawa is Canada’s national capital. During the summer it is a vibrant city with many restaurants and cafes. We encourage you to spend some time in Ottawa either before or after your expedition to the north. You can visit the National Art Gallery or the Museum of Civilization, both of which are worth a trip to Ottawa by themselves. Also, take a tour of the splendid parliament buildings on Parliament Hill, or a boat tour on the Ottawa River. Adventurous travelers will find world-class whitewater rafting opportunities about one hour outside the city.
