Fun time on the Athabasca - We thoroughly enjoyed our rafting trip on the Athabasca! Our "pilot", Jim, made sure everyone got at least a little bit of Athabasca on them :-) There were a couple of rapids that he expertly navigated, and I think everyone on board had a great time. Jim pointed out some interesting things along our route as well. Highly recommend!

Great staff, enjoyable raft float. - Excellent trip with Joel, who navigated us along the river, and told us stories and information along the way. Thoroughly enjoyable, including getting a little wet! But that’s all part of the fun. Interesting to hear first hand about the fire in Jasper in 2024, and the recovery since. Also Brian on the bus gave us info along the way which added to the experience. Thoroughly recommend.

Fun for the whole family! - We decided last minute to do this rafting trip before we departed our stay in Jasper. We had our 2 children with us (ages 17 and 9) and we all had a great time. Our bus driver (I believe his name was Dave) had us laughing on our drive to the launch site and our guide Connor was fantastic and kept us entertained and wet. It was a bit chilly as it was overcast and calling for some rain but my son insisted on getting us as wet as possible lol. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Jasper!

Great experience- don’t hesitate! - Thanks to our guide Kort for the spectacular experience and great memory. Our entire family group of 22 were able to be together on the same raft which made it extra special. Highly professional and safety oriented company, and all employees we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Don’t hesitate to book a trip!

Mid September noon family raft trip - We were a party of 5 adults, 2 youth, and 7 kids. This was one of the highlights of the trip for the kids! It was easy to find the guides in Jasper, and the check-in process was straight-forward. I had our information and tickets printed, but only needed name and number of our party. The guides got everyone fitted into life jackets and readily loaded into the boat. Our boat guide, Finn, was great. He shared info about the area, the river, his experiences in the area. He turned the boat several times so everyone had a chance to be in “front.” He also soaked most all of us at some point during the float, which the kids begged for. We floated 6 miles down the river, which was further than we thought, and took right at an hour. The water was beautiful, we saw lots of fire flower, a few ducks, and a few elk on the bus ride back.
