Palapa Tours & BeaverTails

 · Ottawa Palapa Tours

A Match Made in Canadian Heaven!

Picture this: You’re cruising down the Ottawa River, the warm breeze in your hair, the iconic sights of Parliament and the Rideau Canal gliding by. You’re on Ottawa Palapa Tours, a 12-guest floating tiki bar on the Ottawa River. But what could possibly make this already perfect day even better?

🎉 BeaverTails. Yes, BeaverTails. 🎉

A Truly Canadian Combo: Boats & BeaverTails

Palapa Tours isn’t just about the ride—it’s about the full Canadian experience, and nothing screams Canada like a hot, crispy, cinnamon-sugar-covered BeaverTail. It’s the kind of snack that makes you feel like you’ve won the Stanley Cup of desserts—except you don’t have to be a hockey player to enjoy it.

For over 40 years, BeaverTails have been the must-have treat when visiting Ottawa. Whether it’s your first time trying one (prepare for your life to change) or you’re a seasoned expert on chocolate hazelnut vs. Killaloe Sunrise, we can all agree: no trip to the capital is complete without one.

A Bite of History (Because Canada Loves a Good Story)

BeaverTails started back in 1978 at a community fair in Killaloe, Ontario, where Grant and Pam Hooker introduced their German-Canadian family recipe to the world. Fast forward a few decades, and these delicious fried-dough pastries have become more Canadian than a moose in a Mountie uniform.

Even Barack Obama couldn’t resist the hype. During his first official visit to Canada in 2009, he stopped by the Byward Market and grabbed a BeaverTail. If it’s good enough for the Former Leader of the Free World, it’s good enough for you.

Palapa Tours + BeaverTails = The Ultimate Ottawa Day
