This raft ride was probably the most enjoyable of all attractions we did on our trip. Our guide was so knowledgeable and provided everyone in the raft with lots of information. This is a must try. The trip down the river was too short!

A great gentle raft ride on the bow river. Our guide Eric was fantastic. Very knowledgeable. Offered to take pictures for us and made sure to turn the raft to make sure we had a beautiful backdrop. Highly recommend this.

Had an absolutely fantastic trip floating along the Bow River this morning with Andrew as our guide. As someone who is not a great lover of water I was somewhat hesitant but as advertised the river is extremely gentle with no real splashes and you certainly don’t get wet. Andrew was the perfect guide - giving lots of interesting facts and being so personable. The hour on the raft passed by so quickly and the bonus on the way back on the bus was that we saw an elk. Would thoroughly recommend if you don’t want to do a whitewater trip

Went on this trip today, it was amazing, fantastic scenery, knowledgeable guide and enjoyable for all. A mix of people on the boat, I was worried about getting on and off the boat but had no problems. Chris our guide was brilliant.

Our family loved doing the float trip on the Bow River in Banff. There were both older folks and a family with younger kids on our raft and everyone seemed to have a great time. Our guide worked hard and did a wonderful job pointing out the sights. He offered to take photos of the family with my camera more than once too. Loved seeing the Hoodoos too. It was such a chill trip. This was one of the highlights of our time in Banff.

We are ‘on tour’ in Western Canada, having landed at Calgary last week. Our first stop was Banff and we decided to take a raft trip down the Bow River. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, made more memorable by our wonderful guide, a young man called Henry (originally from Montreal). His knowledge, friendly demeanour and positive outlook made it an amazing experience - thanks Henry!

A wonderful experience - highlight in Banff! We went 2 families with 6 children aged 3-8. The guide was so interesting and informative and really involved the kids. A fantastic morning!
