Day was amazing. Children range in ages from 21 to 13 and they all had a blast. Nice easy first part of the morning to get used to the raft with a more exciting afternoon. Raft guide Cailen was excellent and was able to ease our fears and navigate us through the rapids. COVID protocol was 5/5 which shows they care about safety of us all both off and on the water. End of trip celebration was also a really nice touch. I would recommend this trip trip to all.

My dad and I went rafting here a couple days ago and we had an amazing time!! Everyone who worked there was extremely nice, and made sure everyone was being safe.
Our guide was Alex, and he definitely made our experience one to remember.
The instructions were super clear right from the beginning about gear and safety, and the guides made sure everyone was wearing a mask and kept distance when we could as well.
The actual rafting was a blast, and we felt very safe the whole time too! The Rapids were perfect, and we even got to get in the river near the end. There is a professional photographer who takes your photo in the river, and the guides also have gopros on.
Once you get back, they celebrate with beer and pop!
Overall, highly recommend coming here!

Had a great time with our two kids- recommend using the extra insulation and gloves for the younger kids as our 5-year old got very cold (we stupidly forgot to get these). The trip was great though. Everyone had a fantastic time. thanks to the whole team.

We were on vacation and decided to do something with the whole family. We determined the white water needed to be rather calm since there were both young and old. We enjoyed the ride immensely. The company took very good care of us and gave us plenty of helpful instruction. I highly recommend this adventure. There are more extreme rides that we might try with another time. You're gonna love it.

We had an AMAZING time with the whole team, and especially Ryan. We felt so safe, it was an incredible time and he made us feel so safe. I'm 63 and he didn't make me feel like I was dragging the whole team down. It was SO MUCH FUN He was a darling. Love you Canada from the UK!!

We booked the full day with 2 teens. So glad we booked the day rafting, the first part of the day is very tame, after lunch however is soooo much fun.
The safety briefing scared the life out of me, but I felt really safe and laughed all the way down the river.
Please book this- you won’t regret it. Definitely the best part part of our road trip

Definitely wanted to do a white water raft trip as part of our Canadian adventure and decided on the Kicking Horse river as we were staying near Golden.

Mrs M was initially very cautious, but the whole setup was professionally run, with engaging briefings and a great guide (Jake).

Don’t let the scary waivers put you off. It’s definitely not a Disneyland ride, but what an excellent way to spend a few hours in amazing countryside doing something that puts a smile on your face.

Do it!

Thank you for your review. Rafting is a great way to experience the wilderness on your Canadian Adventure. We are happy to have Jake make such a positive impact on your trip. Disneyland has nothing on us! From the entire Glacier raft team , thank you.

From start to finish, these hard working people had us taken care of! We were a family of 4, for the all day ride, and the only thing I would change is to make it longer, it was so fun! Our bus driver Jess got us there safely, our guide on the bus Dakota gave us all the information we needed and kept us entertained on the ride to our drop in point. We had the fabulous Nico as our raft guide, and we all had a great time! We got soaked, we worked together, we saw beautiful sights (even a few kingfishers!). We even learned a bit from Nico too! Lunch was ready when we were, and it was great to have options for hot or cold beverages. The pictures and video taken were great, and will help us treasure this experience. Thank you so much Glacier Raft Company!!

A full day of cringy posing for pictures that you have to buy to see but you don’t know that until the end. Felt like a bachelor party or a reality show. This company managed to ruin rafting which an amazing feat.

Hi Lonni, This doesn't sound like our company. No one has to buy the photos or videos to see them. We have them all available to view on our ipads or tv at the end of each trip, and we email a viewing link to any groups that have to leave before viewing. This all happens before anyone purchases. We've also been closed for the season for over a month now, so we think you may have the wrong account. If not, sorry you didn't enjoy your day.

We did a white water rafting at the kicking horse river. It’s actually my 2nd time to so it with the glacier raft. We had so much fun. Great experience. Great staff. Very welcoming crew. And they really know the river. You’ll feel safe. I would really recommend you do this when you go to Golden British Columbia. Put this on your list. You’ll never get wrong. 👍👍👍👍👍 to Glacier Raft team. Keep it up.
