We had a group of 5 friends celebrating our 60th birthday year for the weekend in Canmore. We chose to do the river raft float on the second day and it was a fantastic time. Our guide, Ben, was friendly, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We were amazed at the breathtaking views of the Rockies and appreciated the great group photos Ben was happy to take for us. It was a memorable day and we would happily return for another tour!
