Mac, aRRon, and Jas did a great job. It’s wonderfully refreshing to take a dip on a rafting adventure. Unfortunately the Forrest burned down a few years back so the float spot isn’t as beautiful as it once was. Still a nice long float. There are not reallly changing rooms so wear dark underwear because it will get wet. Wetsuits are tight so I recommend tight fitting underwear so it doesn’t bunch. Bring a small bag to leave on the bus, with a towel. Make sure you bring a sunglass retainer if you’re wearing them. Sunscreen.

I would give this activity more stars if I could!

We went on this tour in a group of 8, 4 adults, 3 teenagers (15 & 13) and one younger one of 9 and had so much fun! It was just the right amount of activity and intensity for us! It lasted a good amount of time and our guide was great! I would definitely recommend it!

Best experience ever!

We had an absolutely incredible experience rafting with this company! From start to finish, everything was organized, professional, and so much fun. The scenery was breathtaking, and the rapids were the perfect mix of excitement and beauty. A huge thank you to our guide, Charles! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel completely safe while still making the trip exciting. His sense of humor and passion for what he does really made the experience unforgettable. He shared interesting facts about the area, kept everyone engaged, and made sure we had an amazing time on the water. This was easily one of the highlights of our honeymoon, and we would recommend this rafting company to anyone visiting Jasper.

So much fun getting splashed and being a warm day it was refreshing. A memorable experience and a highlight of our time in Jasper.

Fabulous experience & great service

We didn’t get to go on the class 3 experience booked because Viator gave us the wrong departure time and we missed the pick up by an hour! This would have spoilt our time in Jasper, however, the company were brilliant and re-booked us onto another trip later the same day with complimentary photographs to make up for Viator’s mistake. This was a class 2, so less challenging, but we had a fantastic experience. It was a perfect blend of fun and excitement in such beautiful scenery (special thanks to our guides Molly and Ainsley) We would totally recommend it & the company. Thank you to all the team who helped us and got us out on the water.
