    Raft the Athabasca River on a thrilling, family-friendly 2-hour adventure set against a backdrop of dramatic alpine mountains, rushing glacial waters, grazing moose, and other wildlife.

On arrival, guides will distribute wet suits and safety equipment, and give an instructive and entertaining safety talk to ensure everyone is comfortable. Once on the river, go through a serious of paddle commands and practice on the flat water before you hit the rapids.

    This is the best activity I’ve done in Jasper thus far! The rafting was exciting, and the guides are absolutely amazing!! Very knowledgeable about navigating the river and about the area. I went with my sisters two weeks ago and just took my kids on the Express route. Highly recommend this company!!

    Our guide, Pete, was awesome! We lucked out with beautiful weather for our rafting trip, it was +30 out, so we welcomed the cold splashing water from the rapids. We were a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 teenagers) and all of us loved it. A perfect balance of excitement mingled with relaxing float and scenic views.

    This was so much fun as a couple who has never done this before! It was 50/50 for rapids and free floating. And as a bonus, we saw an elk with velvet still on its antlers on the side of the river! Definitely recommend for first timers. We’re are absolutely booking again, next time will be a level 3, now that we know what to expect! What they don’t tell u is what to wear under the wet suit, so make sure u have on something tight that the suit will go over!
