Your adventure begins with a 10 minute float followed by Class II rapids. Class II is an excellent introduction to white water as it offers a mix of splashy thrills, and calm floats. Suitable for ages 5 and up. For groups larger than 8 people, please contact us before booking.

Memories to last a lifetime
Sep 2021
Was really fun. Very friendly and professional crew. My wife had never been rafting ever and is not the sort of person that looks for a thrill. She was nervous at the thought of unknown risks - but as soon as we hit the first waves she was laughing and grinning and is wanting to do it again. The staff's competence and professional attitude made that possible. It was just scary enough to be exciting but at the same time we knew we were safe and in good hands. And the amazing scenery going by topped it off.

Our Rafting guide was Jordan and he was friendly, funny and very informative. The rafting experience was worth it and we are already planning to come back in July and hoping to get class 3 rapids.

Jasper Vacation Highlight
Sep 2021 • Couples
The guides were wonderful, knowledgeable, and fun. They were on time and we felt safe the entire time. We were provided wetsuits, shoes, socks, and neoprene jackets that kept us warm, despite of the cold water. Elliott was definitely funny and made the activity very enjoyable. This was the highlight of our Jasper vacation.

Must Do!
Sep 2021
Definitely a must do while in Jasper! The guides are so great, super interactive with everyone, informative and friendly. We had Andy and he was amazing. We went with our 8 year old and Andy was really great with him. He was fun and gave lots of info.
The water is freeeeezing so I would recommend going in the summer instead of fall but otherwise, such a great time.

Awesome first time rafting
Super fun, it was cold but they provided the wet suit and jackets. Our guide Eliot was super knowledgeable about wildlife, the forest, and the river. I 100% recommend. It was my first time rafting and it was pretty cool and I felt safe.

Whitewater rafting
Great experience. Our guide Eddy was great and fun . A 5 starts to all the stuff. The whitewater rafting in Jasper is “a must to do”. To end this amazing adventure you won’t forget the refreshing swim in the clear water.

Extremely pleased..
Aug 2021
I wasn't sure just what to expect at first. I was somewhat apprehensive but after the first 'splash'? I was hooked. I had such a fun time ! The guide was fun, we learned some history and heard some funny stories. She did a great job interacting with us first timers and explained instructions very clearly. I'm hoping to come back again next year. At least once,.
