GREAT EXPERIENCE
This was an AMAZING experience. I had never been rafting before and I was very excited and scared BUT the guides were excellent, instructional and at no time were we unsafe! Highly recommend this company Jasper Rafting Adventures!! And they pucked us up and dropped us off at the Fairmont where we were staying!!

Great time on the Athabasca River
The experience was well worth the money, the guides were all so friendly and knowledgeable. Molly led our raft down the river and she was just the best! My 2 teen Daughters came with me and they had such a blast too! Tate the driver did a great job getting us to our start and finish locations safely. All the staff were great and made the experience that much better, even when we got caught in a storm we were all smiling still.

If you can do it!
Fantastic experience, just the right length and rapids for our novice and nervous family of 5 (aged 9-14). The children have said it’s the best thing they’ve done in Canada. Great photos offered for only a small extra charge, well worth it. Massive thanks to Katie and Aaron who led us with warmth, humour and great knowledge.

Great river rafting for the whole family
The rafting was very well organized and was a lot of fun, including a voluntary jump into the water. Molly was our guide and she was very entertaining and funny.

Mile 5 Family Rafting
A really good introduction to rafting for kids! Wet and exciting but not too scary. Good equipment to keep us warm and dry. Our guides were safety conscious, playful and informative. Coleman even took the time to learn our names.
