Awesome afternoon on the river!
Rapids were perfect in August. Exciting but not scary. Dean was an exceptional guide. Very informative and provided great guidance down the river. Stunning scenery and so much fun. Our family was able to raft just the four of us (two teens) which was an added bonus.

We had a fabulous time...
We had a fabulous time rafting with our guide Ryan from Ottawa. Weather was great, water was cold, laughter was plentiful, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I would recommend this team and the experience to anyone seeking a fun day in the Rockies.

Awesome experience
This is a fabulous activity on the Kicking Horse River. All the guides are amazing and so experienced. Our guide was Dean who is exceptional. He encouraged us, reassured us and expertly guided us down a very fast flowing river. He was so enthusiastic and clearly loves what he does as well as knowing the rapids and river like the back of his hands!
Just do it, well worth it!

Dean the Machine
We had the BEST time! Dean was a great guide & made us feel safe and relaxed the entire time. We even joked later we’d trust him to guide us down Wapta Falls. This was a great experience and so much fun. Would recommend to anyone!

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 !!

5-Star Experience
Wonderful crew from start to finish. They work awesome as a team. I was very anxious about this experience but they made me feel like I could conquer it. We were a family of four with two older girls. Everyone had a blast. Highly recommended!!!

Ricky was our guide. She...
Ricky was our guide. She did a great job teaching us the fundamentals of rafting. Everybody was laughing while being challenged. At the end, the whole boar went for a swim in the freezing water. It was fun. Thanks for the wonderful memory you helped to create.

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👍
