We did the full day raft on the Kootenay with our 9 & 12 year old daughters and loved every minute of our day. Our guide - Darren (the owner I think), was fascinating and in full control of the raft. The stops are perfect - a nice morning snack break with coffee, hot chocolate and food. Then back on... More

If your looking for a great run down the Kicking Horse, look no further. This company and its guides are knowledgeable, professional and fun! The lunch was a great meal, so definitely opt in. Even the safety and training talks were fun. I can't imagine how a company could do better. More

We went on the full day trip down the Kootenay River in Radium Hot Springs. This was our second time rafting (Jackson Hole WY was the first). This trip was much different -- less commercialized. In fact our 2 rafts were the only rafts on the river. And after we set off in the morning we only saw one occupied... More

we went river rafting with kootenay river runners and it was awesome. we started with a delicious bbq steak lunch and if you don't eat steak you can get chicken breast. The lunch came with chips, salad and cookies and drinks as well. Then we got our training lesson and put on all our gear and wet suits and helmets.... More

This was our second time with Koootenay River Runners and both times they were excellent. They runner fewer boats than some of the more touristy operations and definitely have a sensible first attitude but this doesn't mean it isn't big fun. You always feel in safe hands with these guys. We filled an 8 person raft with friends and booked... More

Thank you to Linda Irving who personally prepared our trip. Everything from booking the trip, payment, driving instructions, checking in, everything was flawless. Our morning started off wonderfully! We grabbed a coffee from Timmy’s and headed from Invermere to Golden with Kootenay River Runners driving instruction in hand. The drive was amazing and the driving instructions accurate. Upon arriving we... More

We went on the Kootenay River full day trip. A half day trip is also offered, but for 28 dollars more, you get at least 2 more hours on the river (and lunch), so it is well worth the extra money. All of the guides are extremely knowledgable and outgoing, especially Ian. They gave us a lot of information about... More
