About
Edmonton River Float takes floaters down the North Saskatchewan and provides all the gear and round trip shuttle. It was launched to provide people in the Edmonton area a favorite summer activity. Nothing is better on a hot summer day, than spending it on the river and seeing Edmonton from a new perspective. A must do activity in the City of Edmonton.

This was a great time. The shuttle is no hassle and the boards we used were great. None of the stuff had that wet dog smell that you get with shared water equipment so they obviously clean everything well. Only thing was that we didn't bring a dry bag with us so we didn't have any way to take pics. The price was great and if you had your own boards the shuttle is only 10 bucks!
The only concern is that you don't get any instruction but that's clear on the website that it's not a guided trip... that's the whole point.
I loved it and will do it again soon.

My husband and I did this with our teenage daughter. Booking was easy, and the whole process was straightforward. There was really good communication from the company. The equipment was in good condition. We had a lot of fun and would do it again. It's a nice way to spend a summer afternoon.

Extremely Distressing Experience with River Float
My family and I had a traumatic experience with River Float that left us fearing for our safety. Despite their assurances of a safe and enjoyable activity for young children, our trip was filled with negligence, false advertising, and unprofessional staff.
During our river float, we became stranded due to bad weather and inadequate equipment. River Float's staff provided frisbees instead of paddles, leaving us helpless. When I contacted them for assistance, they laughed off our concerns and ignored our pleas for help. As the situation worsened, my daughter suffered a panic attack, and I was forced to call 911 for rescue.
I strongly advise against using River Float's services, as they demonstrated a severe lack of concern for customer safety and well-being. I hope by sharing our story, other families can avoid a similar traumatic experience.

A wonderful experience on a hot day! The staff were professional and friendly and made us feel safe and comfortable! You ride on tubes with backrests and it’s an amazing way to spend two hours!

This was an amazing event. Note that in July the Thursday and Friday morning trips are BOGO tickets so that makes it pretty affordable. The guide was a wealth of information and I have lived here for 30 yrs! We took the grandchildren (8 and 10) and they loved it. You got to paddle but nothing too strenuous and not super often…if that’s a worry.
There is a short break 1/2 ways. It could have been a 35 or 40 minute stop to enjoy the picnic area a bit more instead of 20 minutes, but I can’t say enough good things about this.
We met the bus at 9am and were back by 1:45pm.
Lots of great communication through emails.
Definitely go
