Sublime Maligne

Fun morning rafting from the Athabasca falls. Very organised company provided all the gear we needed great instruction from Tyler accompanied by Ookie. Tip ladies wear a swimsuit so you can keep keep it on under your wet suit. We survived the rain and the rapids. We saw an Osprey, Bear and on the journey up on the school bus we saw Elk. In the sandy bank we checked out Moose prints. We had many laughs along the way and would highly recommend the trip. The heating was turned up on the way back to warm up on the Yellow school bus. Go and book don’t worry if it rains.

First time rafters

This is an amazing introduction to white water rafting!! The river is flowing at a pace & there’s some challenges that give plenty of splash but nothing to feel too intimidating! Mollie & Coleman were great fun and made us feel safe but added to the challenges with their sense of adventure. Don’t hesitate to book!

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

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!
