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.

Evie was super friendly, knowledgeable and keeping us on course. Amazing view, floating down the Bow River. Would definitely for a relaxed view of the scenery. Borusbwas the other captain and his crew also had good comments. Kim drove us and the boats back safely. Thank you!

      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
