Easy, short, fun and sweet raft trip

This is a short 45 minutes on class 2 rapids rafting trip. Not high risk for capsizing or anything like that so if you are new to rafting this is a good trip to do. It is close to downtown Jasper so not a long drive to get to the put-in. They supply wet suits and booties so we were not cold at all (we went in late June). Jasper Rafting Adventures also hires male and female guides which apparently is not the case for some of the other white water operators. Our guide Kate guided us down the river in an excellent manner.

Amazing Family Rafting Adventure

This rafting experience was great! We had a family ranging from 10 years old up to 19 years old. There was enough of some rapids to appease the older teens while not being “too crazy” for the 10 years old. Perfect length of time. And Chelsea was AMAZING and super fun as our raft leader. We all would highly recommend this adventure!

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.

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
