Highlights
  • RV Parking Lot - After a 30-minute bus drive from town, you’ll suit up in your rafting gear. Your safety is always a main concern so prior to departure on the river, your guides will provide a safety talk. All our guides are trained in First Aid, CPR and are federally licensed. After the safety talk there is a 5-minute portage down a road (built for Marilyn Monroe!) to the river.

The river trip starts with a bang. Starting at the base of the spectacular Athabasca Falls, you’ll raft 15 kilometers down the majestic Athabasca Valley. Once out in the main current, the first set of rapids is only seconds’ way. Once these rapids have soaked everyone in the raft, you’ll find yourself in a spectacular canyon only seen from the river.

Super Fun experience - It was so much fun. The tourguides Alex, Kate and Kareem are also really good animators and comedians besides being guides. Not to forget Jenn the driver who gave us a save ride to the drop off and from the pick up point. I had an amazing time. Thank you

Fun, Sunshine, and Excitement! - The rafting tour with Marty was absolutely fantastic! His humorous nature lifted the mood while providing us with interesting information about the surroundings. The group was in high spirits, and the amazing weather made the tour even more unforgettable. I can definitely recommend Marty as a guide.

Cracking experience. - An exciting morning. I went with my daughter. We’ve never rafted before. Our guide, Kate was brilliant and gave us such reassurance and confidence. I’m in my late sixties but it wasn’t too challenging but also very exciting. Go for it. You’ll have a great time. Well organised, very efficient and all round great fun.

Can't leave Jasper without it - We had an exciting morning doing white water rafting on the Athabasca river. What a way to wake up in the morning. We've made a right decision to join this activity as part of our trip to Jasper. The crew members (Felix, Zie, Bobby and Isaac) were amazing. They were all very friendly and fun. Zie entertained all of us on the bus until we got to our drop off location. Our guide was Bobby. He was so knowledgeable about the raft and the surrounding area. We felt that we were not only doing rafting but also having a guided tour along the Athabasca River. He was so energetic and was able to engage everyone on the boat. He took us "safely" to as many current as possible so that we all would get a good splash out of it. It was a fun filled morning. I would do it again next time when I visit Jasper. This is one of the activities that me and my family talk about it all the time. It gave us so much memories not only with the rafting experience but also with all the crew members. At the end of the trip, they would offer us a memory stick with all the pictures. Get it!! who would take pictures for us anyway :) This will be a great keepsake with all the actions.
