Fun rafting adventure - Had an awesome time on this rafting adventure. Jordan was a fun and knowledgeable leader for us. My partner had never been white water rafting and had a really fun time. The water is cold but the wet suits provided do their job. There’s nothing like seeing the scenery from the river.

Outstanding employees - this company knows how to deliver nothing but the best! - Unbelievable rafting experience! Our guide Nate made our tour truly unforgettable. Every single employee we dealt with, from Sign In , to the bus drivers, to the photographer, and the entire “Raft Steering Team”, professional and outstanding at all their jobs. Book this tour if coming to Jasper - easily 5 stars plus!

Great experience! - What an unforgettable adventure on the Sunwapta River! My friend and I had an absolute blast – this was one of the highlights of our trip to Jasper. From start to finish, the experience was filled with thrills, laughter, and pure joy. The rapids gave us just the right dose of adrenaline, and we couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. A special shoutout to our guide, Thomas, who made the trip truly exceptional. His energy, sense of humor, and constant smile kept the vibe fun and exciting all the way down the river. He clearly loves what he does, and it made all the difference. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a mix of adventure, fun, and great memories. Thank you for an amazing ride!

Amazing family adventure - I was looking for something fun and unique for our family (with 2 teenagers) to enjoy while on our trip to Alberta. This adventure was an absolute highlight. It is so well organized, from start to finish. The staff has such good energy and they all work so well together. Our daughter was really nervous but Shane, our guide, was incredibly experienced, reassuring and calm. She felt safe and loved it. The rafting is so much fun and the views are jaw-dropping. You have to see it to believe it. Highly highly recommend doing - this with teens especially.

Viator ruined my vacation - Viator is a terrible company to deal with. They messed up the booking on my tour 2 days in a row and ruined the last couple of days of my vacation. I stayed another day in jasper because they said they would rebook my tour so I stayed but they charged me for a new tour the next day and never contacted the tour operators so I want able to go on the tour when I arrived at the meeting point. They offered me no solutions for all my trouble and it took 30 minutes on the phone to get them to refund my money for their mistake. Please book with another company and save yourself the trouble and make sure your vacations are not ruined
