Worth it

A pleasant, relaxing float - not whitewater or rapids, along the river. The guide was personable and knowledgeable. He even admitted when he did not know something which I find admirable and altogether too lacking in tourism activities. Almost continuous commentary, without rambling, throughout the trip. Raft isn't the most comfortable, bracing yourself to not fall out on rounded bumpers, so it may not be something for physically challenged. Entry point is on the river in Canmore, about 8-10 blocks from the nearest bus stop. There is a Roam bus (minimal cost and very punctual) from Banff and in the area.

Fantastic day on the Bow River

We took the tour today and our guide was Laura who was absolutely fabulous. What a tremendous experience and a highly recommended trip for anyone visiting Canmore who wants to get a great perspective of the Bow River and the surrounding mountains. Laura was a gem!!

Calm, relaxing experience

We went for the midday session, which was not too busy. The meet and greet with safety briefing was clear. The ride itself was very smooth and calm with plenty of time and opportunities to take pictures of the amazing scenery. Unfortunately we didn't see much wildlife along the way (the 1 osprey sighting was exciting though).
