Rafting on Athabasca River Mile 5 in Jasper

Diana_S, Sep 2025

great family friendly trip down the river

This was such a great expirience. My kids first whitewater adventure (12, 9, &8). it was super low key and not scary at all, but enough splashing and moving water to keep them interested. Wear swimsuits (they give you wetsuits to put on over them), and bring a towel. Molly was our guide and she was WONDERFUL.

MJ, Molly and Andrea.

It was a great experience with MJ, Molly and Andrea….all 3 made the experience. The rafting was a great experience and way to see parts of Jasper. We are also slightly biased as MJ is from Australia as we all are too…..loved the commentary from her and fun discussions.

Athabasca Falls Run

One of the highlights of...

One of the highlights of our trip - we've never done any rafting before, so this was perfect for beginners. It felt like a very easy but fun roller coaster on water with stretches of meditative floating. I went with my parents, who are in their 60s and 70s, and this was doable for them. The water is cold, and at a certain point, they let you go into the water if you want (while holding on). I would recommend a bathing suit as they suggest on their listing - changing while damp and also trying not to expose yourself isn't easy, so I think a one-piece bathing suit would feel less exposing. Molly was a super chill guide with a sense of humour. I want to do Class 3 rapids now! Recommend doing this experience

Such a fun experience!

Collin was a fantastic guide down the Athabasca river. Ready to do a class 3 rapids as class 2 we didn’t have to do much which was to be expected since it’s for little kids. But still so much fun and my favorite experience so far in Jasper/Banff vacation.

So much fun!

We had an amazing experience! I've been on a few rafting trips and this was my friend's first. We both had a blast! Class 3 rapids are enough to get an adrenaline rush and get soaked, but it's not scary. Nate was our guide and he did an awesome job, but all the guides seemed super cool and knowledgeable! They walk you through all the maneuvers and safety but make it fun. It poured rain for a portion of the trip, which made the camera go on the fritz so the photos came out blurry, which was disappointing — but they gave them to us for free when they're normally $40, which was very nice! Definitely recommend this!

So much fun, even in the cold and rain.

A cold and dreary day, but it didn’t matter! Still so much fun! All you need to do is wear a swimsuit, they give you everything else you need (wetsuit, helmet, socks, booties, and of course a tutorial and direction the whole time). We’ve rafted the Arkansas River in CO, and the Gallatin in MT, and the Sunwapta rivals the Arkansas as a favorite! Lots of juicy waves (at least when we went), so prepare to get wet! The weather was 59°F and sprinkling on and off. Our hands got a little cold, but as long as you’re paddling when told to by the guide, you stay comfortable. The highlight of our trip to Jasper! Thanks to the whole crew! We had a great time and highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it.

We were recommended this...

We were recommended this tour by Dave the driver on a tour the previous day. He was such good fun and advised it really was suitable for us oldies we booked that night! He wasn’t wrong! Dave drove the bus - amazing again- and we had a most enjoyable trip down the river. I would highly recommend
