What a wonderful afternoon adventure! After a long morning of hiking at Lake Louise, Laura guided us on a relaxing float down the Bow River. She was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable about the local geography. The whole family (all adults) were so glad to see another side of Canmore. Thanks Laura for a wonderful trip.

The float was absolutely beautiful. The trip down the river took about an hour. Our guide was very nice and told us a lot of information about the surrounding mountains and wildlife. I highly recommend the trip. If we ever visit the area again I will go with this company again for a longer excursion, but for the price, it was definitely worth the price we paid.

What a perfect ride! We had a wonderful & friendly guide (Julia, thank you!). Loved the opportunity to stop & jump in as well. Wish the ride would've lasted longer, it was so beautiful & relaxing. We enjoyed every minute of it! It's a nice break from hiking and stress-free.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for this lovely review and for the kind recommendation!

We booked this last minute and are so glad we did! The river is beautiful, with Mountain views all around. Our guide Simon was fun and knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was able to get great pictures. It was relaxing and the raft was clean and comfortable. We had 7 people in our group and there was plenty of room. We stayed dry and got to take in the beauty while the guide kept us safe and moving down the river. We will definitely do this again when we return.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Awe thanks Jennifer!

We had an amazing time on this Bow River boat tour. The river was very calm and it was very relaxing and peaceful with beautiful scenery and clear views of the Three Sisters Mountains. The guides were extremely friendly and knowledgable and the pick up/drop off was super easy and accessible. This was such a fun activity to do in the evening. Would highly recommend to anyone!!! Thank you for this awesome experience.

Patrick was our guide for the float down BOW RIVER today. It was absolutely wonderful. Very relaxing, peaceful and safe. Patrick was very knowledgeable regarding the history of the area and the river itself. We got to stop on a little island and Patrick gave us a lesson in skipping rocks. So much FUN!! I was able get some amazing photos along the way. Definitely worth it!! Thank you so much for everything.

We went as a group of seven ranging from ages 10 to 66. We had an awesome time! Patrick was very kind and personable and made everyone comfortable. He was very good with my son asking him questions and skipping rocks with him. Simo made us laugh and Libby was very friendly. The entire trip from start to finish was fantastic! I would definitely go again!

We signed up the day of the excursion. Met at the location and we were met by Pat and Libby. Both were super friendly. Libby took us out on the raft. Beautiful views and lots of opportunities to take pictures. Libby is super knowledgeable about Bow River. She had a great personality and answered all of our questions. Had an opportunity to get out of the raft at one point for pictures and a chance to get in the river. I definitely recommend this excursion.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Awe, thank you so much for this sweet review and recommendation!
So glad you got to meet Libby and share her wonderful guided tour!
Have a terrific rest of the year!
Cheers
Dino
Relaxing experience that gives an opportunity to see the beautiful mountains from another point of view. All the staff were professional and nice.
It is a wet-free adventure, but you could jump in or soak your feet in the refreshing water when they make a stop.
Such a nice way to enjoy a day.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thanks Sue!
