The rafting guide, Ben, was very professional and witty to help my family enjoy the rafting. The rafting itself suited well the level of my family including one minor.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for this awesome review! We are so glad that your family enjoyed whitewater rafting with our company and staff! We hope to see your family back again sometime soon!

Cool rapid rides a true Canadian high of our trip

Tracy_W, Jul 2023
Our guide Ben was super helpful and informative although he scared the crap out of us during the safety briefing! Rapids we were told we’re really low for the the time of year- pretty sure at least one of us would have fallen out if it had been high.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi Tracy, Thanks so much for your review. That safety briefing is definitely thorough and it is totally normal to feel nervous before the trip. Glad you had an awesome time with Ben ... and yes in higher water comes more adventure, but also more risk. However our guides are professionals and highly trained to provide safe, fun trips in all conditions. Thanks again for joining us!

Excellent adventure for all!

Great family fun. Guides very easy going and very professional. Food was delicious. Highly recommended for first timers.

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Hey there! Happy to hear you not only enjoyed the class 3/4 rapids that the Kicking Horse River has to offer, but also that our BBQ masters (guides) did a great job on and off the water. Keeping you safe, having fun and well fed!
