Join the fun on the Athabasca River for a unique perspective of Jasper National Park. Our 2-3 hour round trip passes through many small sets of rapids and calm stretches, which allows your National Park licensed guide to point out the natural and human history of Jasper. 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. Class 1 is considered to be calm moving water while a class 6 would be equivalent to Niagara Falls. The section of the Athabasca River that this tour rafts on is rated a Class 2; meaning that there are some sections with rapids, which may get your backside wet.

This was really fun! Expect to get a little wet! Our guide was fun and a real joker! Highly recommended!!
It was our first time rafting and it was so awesome we are planning our next trip. Our guide was very knowlegable about the place and gave us trivias.
We did a 4:00pm river raft trip on a gloriously sunny mid September Day. The guide was wonderful. The trip was easy and pleasant. It was fun!
Excellent way to enjoy a relaxing ride down the River. Guide was very friendly and skillful.
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.

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.
