Excellent adventure
This company covered everything. Wetsuit, jacket, shoes, paddles, everything. It was great. After the rafting was over they then washed everything so you know that it was clean. The guides were very knowledgeable with great sense of humour. The rafting itself was fun. We went when the river was in low water, but for beginners that was still enough with many rapids of various levels. Highly recommended.

Top experience 👍
Brilliant! Our guide (Kyle) has was superb - made sure everyone had a great time and never felt anything other than safe. Our family of 5 had an awesome trip down the river - hit some really decent rapids and got soaked! Set up at base camp is great - plenty of parking, places to change, hot showers and snacks. Don’t be put off by the necessary safety briefing - at no point on the trip did we feel unsafe or concerned. Fully recommend the trip and Hydra - thanks team👍

Cool rapid rides a true Canadian high of our trip
Our guide Ben was super helpful and informative although he scared the crap out of us during the safety briefing! Rapids we were told we’re really low for the the time of year- pretty sure at least one of us would have fallen out if it had been high.

Family Fun
Great time. We originally booked the gentle float but after the first half kids begged to keep going. Ty/Landon/Matias made the trip memorable! And trust them - the fleece jackets work !!

Best Experience
This was my family’s first time white water rafting, and it is now our all-time favorite experience! Every employee was incredibly kind and helpful. Our guide, Jaro, was fantastic! He did a great job providing us with the necessary safety and technical information so we felt confident and at ease. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and geological features we saw. We had so much fun!

Don't Miss This!
What an incredible adventure! The scenery is gorgeous, the rapids are spectacular, but the staff really sets Hydra River Guides apart. The in-house staff was so helpful and intentional, and the guides were amazing. Cam, the guide on our raft, was professional, friendly, and safety-focused while also making sure we all had a wonderful time. We would raft with Hydra again and again! Don't miss this!

Perfect day on the river
Amazing team. So convenient that their location is right where we enter the river. Bill was the best rafting guide we've ever had.

Excellent rafting experience
The rafting guide, Ben, was very professional and witty to help my family enjoy the rafting. The rafting itself suited well the level of my family including one minor.

Awesome
Had an absolutely fantastic time, this was our first time white water rafting and will definitely do it again. Hennessy was our excellent guide, however all of the staff were lovely. If you’re thinking of white water rafting DO IT!
