Itinerary

Begin the tour with a 30-minute bus ride to Athabasca Falls. Gear up with all necessary equipment and change into your wetsuit. Your certified guide will overview rafting and safety procedures before you board the 6-passenger, self-bailing raft. Hear the thundering Athabasca Falls behind you as your raft joins the whitewater downstream, navigating the high rock walls of the Athabasca Canyon. Enjoy 8-9 sections of fun Class 2+ rapids before the river mellows, offering a chance to relax and take in views of the Canadian Rockies. Spot local wildlife on the shoreline of this pristine environment. All equipment, including paddles, wetsuits, neoprene booties, and paddle jackets, is supplied. Wear a swimsuit or a t-shirt and shorts, and be prepared to get wet. Bring dry clothes, a towel, and on cooler days, wool socks, a fleece, or a warm jacket. You can also bring snacks and water for the bus ride. These trips require no previous experience and are suited for individuals aged 5 and above seeking an introductory whitewater adventure.

How to ride the rapids

Published on Aug, 2024

Guides were very saftey conscious. I did not appreciate the manufactured water fight at the end of the ride. The rapids were just enough to get your heart pumping.

Family Fun on the Athabasca

Published on Jul, 2024

We had an amazing time rafting the Athabasca. This adventure was perfect for young children; fun and exciting but not scary at all. Our guide Rory did an outstanding job making sure we had fun, and he was so good with the kids. Can't wait to go rafting again with this crew.

Great fun guides and great experience for all your family

Published on Jul, 2024

Well organised great first whitewater rafting experience. The guides were all excellent and looked after everyone. We felt safe - the views of the river, waterfalls and mountains are incredible. Our raft guide Thomas was fantastic - thank you

White water rafting fun

We went as a family of 3, Seb was in charge of our boat and he looked after us very well. It was exciting and fun but we felt safe.

Amazing tour and great guide!

Published on Jul, 2024

From start to finish this group was amazing. We had some unique ADA accomodations and the office staff was great about making sure we were prepared and comfortable. The raft guides did an excellent job of making everyone had a safe and fun time! This was the absolute highlight of our visit to Jasper and Roary made our rafting adventure incredible. Thank you everyone for making our family trip epic!
