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!

Rafting Memories on the Athabasca - Spectacular! We were given the opportunity to share a portion of the Athabasca River on its journey to the Arctic Ocean. Cold, silt laden water that only 36 hours earlier was part of the Athabasca Glacier in the Columbia ice fields. Safe and fun time with our experienced pilot 'James'. Every bend in the river offered different experiences, even getting wet with spray from the odd was part of the fun. The entire team in this organization worked seamlessly to provide us with a memory to cherish. Thank you!

Great Experience Would Recommend - We had a great time on the rafting trip down Athabasca River. Our guide was super friendly and funny. He answered everyone’s questions about the area and the fire. Would highly recommend, the rafting is roughly 1.5hrs which was honestly perfect cause it allowed us to do the sky tram later in the afternoon. Pro tip - bring sandals and wear quick dry shorts/pants you will get a taste of the level 2 rapids which were incredibly fun!

Great trip in beautiful surroundings, with the odd splash - absolutely loved it! - Highly recommend! We did the scenic trip with our 3-year-old. The bus trip to the starting point itself was great, our driver Dave was hilarious in between interesting facts about Jasper's environment and wildlife. The boat trip itself was great, incredible to see Jasper from this perspective. The water was relatively steady, but had some great splashes every now and then - which we and our toddler absolutely loved. Thanks for a great morning, we had a blast!
