PALAPA TOURS FIELD TRIPS 🛥️📚

🎟️ Small Groups – Big Impact

Whether it’s a summer camp, university seminar, or just a few curious minds eager to explore, we’ve got space for your group to learn and discover on the water. Our cruises offer a fresh perspective of Ottawa—mixing education, exploration, and relaxation all in one floating classroom.

🌴 Private Charters – Your Trip, Your Theme

Book the whole boat and tailor the experience to your group’s focus—history, architecture, ecology, science, or storytelling. With room for up to 12 participants (or 24 with two boats), it’s perfect for teachers, guides, or program leaders looking to make a lesson stick through experience. We’ve hosted it all—from environmental researchers to history buffs to marine-minded teens.

⏰ Back-to-Back Cruises – Go Deeper, Stay Longer

Want more time to present, engage, or just enjoy the sights? Book two cruises back-to-back and receive an extra 30 minutes FREE—plus save $100. That’s 3.5 hours of floating discovery. Book online and send us an email to apply the bonus.

🚤 Side-by-Side Boats – Bigger Groups, No Problem

If your class or group exceeds 12, we’ll launch two boats together so everyone can stay connected on the water. Whether it’s two camp groups or two research teams, we’ll keep the cruise coordinated—and you’ll save $50 per boat when you double up.

A FLOATING CLASSROOM WITH A VIEW 🌊🎓

Palapa Tours is more than a scenic ride—it’s a moving platform for interactive learning. Ottawa’s skyline, history, and natural features offer rich opportunities to engage students of all ages.


🎬 Giant onboard screen for presentations, documentaries, or group projects
📍 Learn about Parliament Hill, the locks, Rideau Falls, and more
📖 Ideal for history, geography, environmental studies, leadership, and cultural exploration
🥪 Bring your own snacks and drinks—we’ve got the space and the breeze
🚫 No alcohol on field trips (obviously)—but if you're a teacher leading a high-energy group, we may or may not owe you a virtual shot of tequila 😅


So whether it’s a camp, college course, or a curious crew of future changemakers—let's hit the water.


Book your field trip cruise today and float into hands-on learning. 🛶📚🌞
