Both in our sixties this was our first time whitewater rafting and it was fantastic. A memorable experience. Alberta Conner was our raft skipper and he was great . We were on the water for about 1.5 hours and it was brilliant. We were at the front of our raft and had a few soakings but that just added to the experience. Really well organised and would highly recommend.

Luke and the entire team took care of our journey. The team were great in making the adventure fun and informative. From the time we arrived until we were returned after the rafting it was seamlessly executed. The family had a great time and would fully recommend the outing. Thanks James

One of the highlights of...

Yeajin_H, Sep 2025
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

First time going and it was amazing!!! Guides were so fun, and despite being their first seasons guiding white water rafting, we felt safe the entire time. Would highly recommend!

We had a great day rafting in Jasper with guides Georgia and Luke. Perfect combination of rapids and paddling to make it a fun but safe ride. Wetsuits were great and kept us all warm. So glad we did the trip!

From start to finish trip was brilliant the guides gave us a full run down from the start everything went perfect . Ali was the guide on our boat and was absolutely brilliant telling us different facts about Jasper and wildlife and the rafting was great.

My whole family had a great time on this activity. Our guides Emily and Shane were very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend the rafting experience

Awesome Time

Greg_S, Jun 2025
It was a well organized and a very fun experience. It was a great way to spend 3hours and to see areas of Jasper National park that can't be reached by car.

Great time! Great people!

Michelle_H, Jun 2025
It was a great time and not scary like some of our group thought it might be. The guides were all so friendly and enthusiastic. They enjoyed each other and they enjoyed showing us a good time!

Julia_S, Jul 2024
A really fun trip which was very well organised. Wet suits etc were all provided but be aware you need to get changed in a bus. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely do it again in hopefully better weather next time. Thanks to Seb for being a great guide.

Loved our guide Andy! He was very attentive and very knowledgeable, had a great time would recommend

Great day rafting

Andrew_W, Jul 2024
The whole trip was brilliant, Jacob our tour guide was great, it was our first time rafting and felt safe the whole time. Jacob knew a lot about the river and the wild life with plenty of first hand stories of things that happened to him and the rest of the team. Would recommend this trip to anyone.

Super fun white water.

Jim_D, Jul 2024

We loved this activity so much. It was lots of fun, we went on the falls and explored the lake and got an amazing view of the mountains as well. Our guide was Felix and he was great also.

Geoffrey_H, Jun 2024
The scenery& great fun with Nilan, Ellie, Jonah& David. Informative tour which felt safe at all times.Loved the photos David took& all wetsuits etc was provided. Changing of clothing on the bus could be embarrassing for some people.

Raft with these guys!

Tim_W, Jun 2024
A really great tour. All guides, in particular our raft guide Baden, were fantastic, knowledgeable and fun. I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Get your family and go down the river, you won't regret it!

Richard_W, Jun 2024
We had the most fun going down the Athabasca River with Jonah, as our very fun and knowledgeable guide. We were afraid it was going to be too cold for us, but after they suited us up, the cold water didn't affect us at all from having the best time you could have on this magical river ride! Thank you, this was our favorite thing we did in Canada!

Rapids in the rockies

Ken_P, Jun 2024
What a wonderful time on the rapids! Challenging enough to get rapid thrills, yet also some chill spots to relax and enjoy wonderful views of the rockies. We were in very safe and capable hands with Seba and Amir, kudos to them! Highly recommended!

Amazing experience

What an awesome time. Would definitely be back to try a level 3. Our guides Josh, Maxine, Ellie and driver cameraman Felix we're the best too!

Excellent Family Adventure

Michael_B, Jul 2023
Our family had an excellent time. It was the perfect intensity for our 8 and 11 year olds. They were both requesting to do it again. The guides were great (Thanks Joe!).

Amazing scenery and views

Cheryl_C, Jun 2023
The guides were amazing..Abby, Tyler and Braeden made our trip!! The water and views and the baby moose we saw was amazing 🤩

So much fun

Daniel_B, Jun 2023
Lachie was an excellent guide. He's only been in Canada a month but so engaging and knowledgeable. The course was class 2, great for a beginner but next time I'd opt for a class 3. Got to have a swim between rapids too. The scenery is stunning.

Awesome experience

Sophie_N, Aug 2022
We would definitely recommend this to anyone! It was a great first time rafting and we had Gabriella who was an awesome guide. She was very fun and had a wealth of knowledge which made the experience even more interesting for us! Thank you for a fun experience!
