Wonderful experience, super fun, and one of the best mornings out ever. - Incredible experience, our first white water rafting. Wonderful to see the beautiful views from another perspective. Whilst on the river, our guide, Josh, pointed out the slight haze of smoke in the distance caused by forest fires; little did any of us know that Jasper would be evacuated just 2 days later, and the devastation that would follow. It is heartbreaking to see the destruction and we feel so lucky to have seen this amazing part of the world before it was destroyed. The team at Jasper, along with all those who resided in this gorgeous town and surrounding area have been in our thoughts every day.

Great for young kids! - Will was our rafting guide. He did a wonderful job of keeping us safe yet also making the experience a lot of fun. We had our two young daughters with us who had never been on a rafting tour before. They absolutely loved it. We will definitely come back and try the Class 3 rapids.

Suits all ages - Great rafting trip today. Thanks to the organisers - well organised and would suit all ages from 5 to 95. I went with my two boys (21 and 18) and they had a great time. My eldest had a go at steering (with supervision) plus they both got tips on travelling thanks to the guide Seb. Thanks again all - great trip.

Baden, Joe, Immy and Kate - This was our first time white-water rafting and definitely won’t be our last! Baden, Joe, Immy and Kate all made the trip very enjoyable and memorable - I would not hesitate recommending them. The trip is ideal for beginners and children, while it also includes plenty of splashes. Thank you all.
