Fun and great for all ages. - Was my friends first time and she was terrified. The guide Jake was awesome. The whole day was perfect since it was calm and easy then after lunch the rapids were more exciting. Helped my friend build up courage. Their photographer did an amazing job using a drone and regular camera to get multiple shots and angles.

Must do! - We had a FABULOUS time on the river with our guide, Jaime. He was extremely knowledgeable about the river and instilled confidence in all of us. Water was fast, rapids were awesome and sun was shining. We’ve done a lot of guided raft trips but this one was our favorite. Well worth the gorgeous drive to Golden! Would absolutely run the river again with this outfitter!

River rafting Kicking Horse, BC - I’ve been river rafting many times in my life, and I’ve never found such a well-qualified person to guide our raft. He was professional, kind informed, and lots of fun. I highly recommend this company.

Go for it! - We did the whitewater express tour in late Aug 2023. We had a blast! In August, the rapids are more mild, but we still had cat 4 rapids and lots of cat 3, it was so fun! The water was a beautiful blue and the scenery was amazing! Jaime was our guide and I never felt unsafe for one minute! The whole crew was very thorough and organized. Don’t hesitate to book your trip!
