The Kicking Horse River is the ultimate whitewater rafting destination in the Rocky Mountains guaranteed to provide the thrill of a lifetime. Many of our guests return year after year because, as they know, no two runs down the Kicking Horse are ever the same! The Blaeberry River is a family rafting trip in Golden, BC. Follow the historic trading route of explorer David Thompson. This gentle river float is a scenic raft trip through the peaceful Blaeberry Valley in the Rocky Mountains. This class 1 – 2 glacial fed river meanders its way through high mountain peaks before entering an enchanting canyon of gentle curves and vertical rock walls. Watch for animals, birds and wildflowers as you help your guide navigate this two hour journey. We provide a light snack half way through the trip for you to enjoy while relaxing in the evening sun. « less

After being a little nervous starting out as first timers, we quickly felt comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our trip on the lower two sections of the Kicking Horse. If I ever have a chance to return I would do the full day with the barbecue lunch. All of the staff that we dealt with at Glacier were great and our... More

Glacier rafting can provide all you need for a safe and 'comfortable' day out on the river. Guides are fun and well trained, with the campfire and beers at the glacier HQ making up for basic facilities. Photographers on site and Go-Pro footage from helmet cams for sale at a very reasonable price (which was less for smaller groups like... More

This was our first time and we were a bit nervous! We did the Ultimate Challenge but going at the end of the season where the water speed was lower was a good introduction. Chad, our guide was professional and made us feel 100% comfortable and safe...our nerves quickly calmed and we wanted more... faster rapids! The steak lunch was... More

Glacier does a great job with safety. I've been rafting down this river 7 times, with every company and Glacier is the best. Their facilities are basic, but their equipment is top-notch. Good value for the money.

I would definitely return to go on another rafting trip with them if I could. They were professional, took all safety precautions, and provided a fun few hrs rafting down the Kicking Horse river. We took the morning scenic float with my older parents, which was perfect (class 1-3 rapids). The BBQ lunch at the end was delicious and exceeded... More

I had a fantastic experience rafting last weekend!! Glacier Raft Company accommodated a large group of us (in town for a wedding) and fun was certainly had by all. Evan was the guide on my boat and he was very knowledgeable, super fun, friendly and just as enthusiastic about the rafting adventure as we were (particularly because the lower canyon... More

What a great day on the kicking horse! We got to go down the entire rapids for the first time this year and had some of the staff join us who made it even better. the weather, scenery, and company are first class. Special thanks to Jair and the crew.
