This float trip is safe for the whole family, from toddlers and grandparents to swimmers and non-swimmers alike. Rivers are rated on a scale of one to six.

We had a great time and very memorable trip. The river is very scenic, the guide knowledgeable and fun. The river was fast in some parts and I think we were running ahead of schedule. The guide said we were going to pull over by this little island and chat. Well, we got stuck on the rocks, and he could not get us free. He called for help and backup arrived. We got unstuck and made it to the end of the tour a few memorable minutes late. When you sign up for these trips you are never sure what you are getting if something goes wrong. This group was tested and passed with flying colors, we would definately recommend. Very professional. We had a lot of laughs with the guide and had a fun story to tell afterward!
We had a great rafting experience with Jack out fantastic guide who did all the hard rowing work to get us up the river with some great views and knowledgeable information shared .. we highly recommend this company and Jack as a guide if you are in the area
Would highly recommend this raft ride, we thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Tyson our rookie was superb, his knowledge of the area was amazing and we learnt a lot. He made us feel at ease and had some fun with us too which was great! Pick up was also very smooth and our bus driver was also very friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
We had such a great time on the Athabasca River Easy Scenic Raft Trip! The whole experience was relaxing, beautiful, and so much fun. Our raft guide was absolutely wonderful—very friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the trip. He was so nice and did a great job making the experience enjoyable for everyone. The scenery was amazing, and it was the perfect activity for a scenic and relaxing day. Highly recommend this experience!
This was a great experience. We had 3 children with us, (youngest was 7) The guide was great, and gave us a good talk as we went down the river. We only got a little wet. It was at a good level if you want a relaxed experience going down the river.
Nice guide! Some fun facts along the way. And in the end I saw some Wildlife on the bank of the river.
Amazing experience. Amazing staff. Be prepared for a wet bum!
Wow! Loved it. Such a great activity and well organised by tour provider. Suitable for almost anyone. Court was our guide and did a fantastic job rafting down the river, chatting with everyone; sharing stories about Jasper and happy to answer questions. So much fun getting splashed and being a warm day it was refreshing. A memorable experience and a highlight of our time in Jasper.
It was crazy good. Conor you are so fun. Keep doing the way you do it. Love every minute of it. It's a mist do in Jasper. The pick up was on time, our bus driver was great. The informed us of everything that we needed to know.
Kyle was an amazing guide. The ride was about an hour and a half and it went smooth. There was some calm spots and some spots with some “rapids” where Kyle would steer the boat in the direction he wanted depending on who he wanted to have the chance to get wet. We had a group with a range of ages from 6-65 and we all had a blast. Would highly recommend!!
