What a fun experience!! Absolutely beautiful to see the mountains of Canmore. Jai + Pat were the best and we could not recommend them more! They gave great info and took pictures of us. My boyfriend enjoyed skipping rocks with them on the river island. :)

      Fabulous, informative, fun and relaxing experience. All members of our party enjoyed it. The scenery was wonderful and we were fortunate with the weather. Our guide, Max, was superb: knowledgeable, friendly and made sure he looked after his guests. He clearly enjoys his work.

      Fun Rafting

      Kimberly_S, Jul 2026
      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

      Highly recommended

      Sue_A, Jul 2026
      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! So glad you enjoyed our tour and that you had a chance to experience our beautiful Rockies along the river! Enjoy your summer and thank you again! Cheers Dino

      You have to experience the mountain views from the river! Kate and Dino were wonderful guides and the team was fantastic with our mobility limited mom.

      Response from Host, Jul 2026

      Awe Luanne... It was so wonderful to have you all out! Your Mom is such a sweet soul with a beautiful smile! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, and for trusting us! We bought equipment (buses with lifts) so that everyone can experience our tours, but mostly because it fills our souls and lifts our spirits when people like your Mom can be on the river with us!!! Most Sincerely Dino

      Nice view along the Bow...

      YiTing_K, May 2026
      Nice view along the Bow Lake and its chill ride. My guides were Simo and Kate! They were really nice and friendly. A little expensive but cheaper than other raft options in the area :)

      Response from Host, May 2026

      Hi, Thanks so much for the 5 Star review! We can appreciate how expensive things are these days, and we feel it as much as our guests. Since 2016 we have only increased our prices from $45/adult, to today at $59/adult and our Children's price has gone from $20 in 2016 to $29 today. During 2020 & 2021, we offered our clients the option of paying us with a Gift Card (in any amount) from one of the local businesses, so we could help support people in the area during that tough period. So thanks again for the kind review, and for allowing us the opportunity to share a little about our company. More importantly, thank you for joining us on your holidays!! Cheers and enjoy the rest of your summer! Cheers Dino & Crew

      Don’t miss this!

      Dino was a fantastic “tour guide”! He was very knowledgeable about the area and shared some fascinating things with us. He also had some “jokes” for us. It was such a great relaxing experience.

      Response from Host, May 2026

      I'm glad at least one person appreciates my jokes! Thanks so much for the kind review and for joining us this season! Glad you enjoyed your tour! Cheers Dino

      A very pleasant, relaxing hour, floating down the Bow river. Our guide was Evie. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was nice taking in the fantastic scenery from a different perspective.

      It was a fun and...

      Bette_L, Sep 2025
      It was a fun and beautiful experience. The river was gently flowing. Katelyn our guide was awesome. The only downside was the trip wasn’t long enough.

      Sorry we broke your streak, Caitlyn ;)

      Jessica_K, Aug 2025
      A perfect afternoon activity if you need a break from hiking and biking. Our guide Caitlyn was informative and hilarious and Cailyn was a fabulous driver. The weather was gorgeous and despite the temperature of the water, both our girls (15 and 10) enjoyed a dip.

      Great time

      Gaylene_B, Aug 2025
      Beautiful scenery...relaxing. Ben was our guide this afternoon. It was sunny. He shared a bit about Canmore and about himself. I would really recommend this experience.
