Inexperienced rafters

Published on Jul, 2024

As inexperienced rafters, our guide, Francois, was terrific in allaying our concerns and going gently over the rapids. The scenery was beautiful. Stephen, the bus driver/assistant was also very accommodating. Once we were comfortable on the river, we wished the trip was longer!

Awesome rafting

Published on Jul, 2024

Great for families, we had 7 kids and four adults split across two boats. Guides were awesome and shared some great facts

Great family experience of rafting for the first time

Published on Jul, 2024

A great family trip with our two teenagers - Francois was funny and super competent, the safety briefing was fab and we would highly recommend the whole experience especially for those (like us) trying rafting for the first time!

Splashing good time!

Published on Jul, 2024

We went to Jasper for a bachelorette party whitewater rafting adventure! The rapids were perfect, and we had an amazing time. Our guide was super helpful, even when we wanted to spin around like crazy people through one section. We're already planning next year's trip, level 3, here we come, for another splashing good time. Huge thank you and appreciation to Ella, Josh and Adam for the memories!

Great family adventure

Published on Jul, 2024

Fantastic time. Great family adventure. Staff were friendly well organized and well prepared. We would definitely do this again - only next time would be the longer one.
