Relaxing fun floating the river - Relaxing and fun rafting tour with Kort as our guide. Got a little wet as we floated and listened to the history of the river. Teens loved the change of our mode of transportation and us parents the ability to relax for a little, soak in the sunshine and water. And the refurbished school bus was a fabulous nostalgia experience!!

Don't let anything stop you! - Collected on a Happy Bus, by Brian, told us a lot about the area, and the dreadful devastation left by last years fires. but was an excellent, funny guide. Safety was explained well, and Joel was out raft guide, again, very knowledgeable about the area. We had a lady in a wheelchair on our trip and they were very courteous and helpful with her The rafting itself was really good fun.

Outstanding - What an fun and amazing time. Very well organized and stress free for a bus tour group. Everyone was made to feel welcome and included. Jim was our guide and was fun and interactive. We had so much fun. Would do it again. People of all abilities were made to feel comfortable and welcome. Very moving to see the affect of the forest fires on the area. To top it off we were greeted with MANY long horned sheep as we came to shore. And the owner came on the bus to thank us for joining them. A class act all around. We were VERY happy and impressed with the whole experience.

Great Choice for Experiencing the Althabasca with mild rapids - What a blast! The float is an excellent way to experience rafting with 1 & 2 rapids. Our guide Conner was excellent at navigating and ensuring all had fun and learned about the area. Highly recommend!

Amazing trip - Seven of us from a Globus trip took the rafting trip. Started with blue skies and ended with wind and rains. We had a great time. Rafting into head winds at times, and little forward movement still was something we will remember for a long time. Cort, our guide was excellent and made sure we were aware of what we needed to do at all times. He was professional, fun, and skilled in ways we didn't learn about until we were safely back on land. Thanks again, Cort and Jasper Raft Tours, for an amazing time.

Gentle river raft cruise - This is not a white water rafting experience, it is more genteel and would suit older people and children. Staff work very hard to make the experience interesting with history, geology and points of interest. Unfortunately the devastating fires of 2023 are too evident and detract a bit from the scenery. Tour lasts just over an hour. Good safety briefing, Kagools and life vests supplied.

Love Jasper - One of the highlights of our trip. Ziggy was the perfect guide. Will be recommending this to all friends and family visiting Jasper. Also coming from Ireland ot was a real treat to be collected in a yellow school bus! Jasper has suffered from the big fire but don't let that stop you visiting. I actually preferred it to Banff. More authentic and very welcoming.

Brilliant. - This was such good fun. Our guide, Jacob, was outstanding. Very amusing and so good at rowing the raft. I was slightly apprehensive about doing this activity - I’m a 65 year old granny with a hip replacement and a steroid injection in my knee. It really is suitable for almost anyone and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
