Accommodating Company - Although we actually didn't go on the tour with this company, they were beyond nice and accommodating. I got sick the day before our trip and left an email in the early hours that morning detailing my symptoms. They graciously refunded us the entire trip despite their 48 hour cancellation policy. The next time we're in Banff and plan to raft, we are definitely going with this company. Amazingly professional. Thank you so much, Hydra River Guides.

Exciting adventure on the kicking horse river. - Excellent and exciting trip. Very well organised and we felt very safe in the hands of Drew who was a superb guide.

Amazing adventure! - We were lucky to raft with Dave, and it was an incredible experience! We felt very safe and confidence with his guidance, and his great sense of humour made us enjoy every single moment there. We enjoyed it that much, that we are going to repeat it during the next days. Thank you all the crew, and especially Dave, to make this experience unforgettable. Highly recommended! :)

We Flew with Drew! - This was a wicked-fun time! Jeez, I could've gone all day! I'd like to thank Drew, our guide. Nice chatting with you and thanks for keeping us in the boat! Hope to see you next year, or maybe to see you at the Canoe Club some time. Thanks again! - Alec

A great trip! - We loved our rafting tour with hydra river guides! Our guide Vern was great and had loads of knowledge about the river, nature, history of area, etc. Even with the rapids being lower since it’s nearly the end of the season, it’s still a blast and you get to enjoy the beautiful scenery. You’re given ample knowledge on what to do in any scenario that could happen to have you feeling safe, and all gear you’re given to wear is nice and clean. 10/10 would recommend and will absolutely be returning next summer early on! Thanks Vern!!

So fun! - Awesome trip -- the kids (and adults) loved it! Knowledgeable guide, fun, beautiful, with the right amount of adventure. We would definitely book with Hydra again!

Great Experience! - Whitewater rafting with Hydra was one of the many highlights of our holiday! We were 8 people in our raft plus our captain, Jaro. Everybody got to paddle and we swapped seats a couple of times to ensure everybody can try out the bumpier seats at the front of the boat. It was the right mix of adrenaline and feeling safe. Hydra provides all you need - neoprene suits + jackets, booties and helmets. We booked the lunch option, which was great. The burgers were great and just the thing you need after thundering down a river!

Best Birthday ever! - This is the second time rafting with Hydra. The first time was around 16 years ago. The water was higher and faster on my first experience (which was awesome and got me hooked on rafting) but this time it was challenging with the lower water level. I’ve ran this river 5 or 6 times and each time is different but fun no matter what! We had a great guide Bill with 19 years experience and he made everyone aware, comfortable and did an amazing job! I took the front spot in the raft and would not hesitate to do the same in whatever raft I was in will Bill as my guide! This was my 46th Birthday and I feel like I’m 26 again! I had such an amazing day that was long overdue and I can’t thank Bill and Hydra enough for making this happen! Hydra runs a very economical and well run operation! They know what they are doing and novice to advanced rafters will have a great time regardless of the time of year and weather conditions! I give them 5 stars! I will definitely raft with Hydra again!

Guaranteed adrenaline, guaranteed safety, guaranteed fun - This was a super activity. From the first moment we went to book the team were super helpful and went out of their way to help. The river trip itself is an education in water safety with tips for life! We had Bill as our captain and he was informative and we felt safe at all times while also having fun and our fill of adrenaline! We would definitely recommend the Classic trip for older kids and family. A huge advantage is getting onto the water right at the meeting point! Side note- You will absolutely get wet.

Great day out on the River - Excellent afternoon rafting down the river , good variety of rapids with nothing to crazy. Good operation, well set up with all the gear to stay warm. Our guide Drew was top notch. Would certainly recommend
