Family White Water Rafting

Great family white water rafting trip with our guide, Josh! This was a great experience with younger kids and kids who have never rafted before. The class 3 rapids were early on and then the river settled a bit. I was grateful for the gear to keep us warm too! Would definitely do this again or try one of their other tours! Good company - check them out!

Awesome experience!

I had the best experience rafting with Canmore adventures! It was my first ever time white water rafting and it was a very safe, fun and smooth experience. I went with my whole family and we all absolutely loved it. We had the guide Rhiannon and she was awesome. It was easy to learn what to do and felt very safe the entire time. Highly recommend rafting with friends family or just by yourself as you meet lots of other cool people there as well!

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review! First-time rafting can feel like a big leap, so we're thrilled it was a safe, smooth and fun one for you. Rhiannon is a gem — we'll be sure to pass along your kind words. She has a real talent for making the instructions easy to follow so everyone can just relax and enjoy the river. And you're right, the shared raft is half the fun — some great friendships have started on our trips! Thanks for bringing the whole family out. We hope to see you back on the water soon.

Great family adventure!

We took our 4 kids (5, 7, 10, and 12) and everyone had the best time! It was a cooler day and I was a bit worried we would be cold, but we were well outfitted and everybody was comfortable. Josh and the entire team were excellent, and we loved that photos were included. 100% recommend if you’re looking for a fun family adventure while you’re in the area.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing this — it made our day! We're so glad the whole family, especially the kids, had a great time, and that our gear kept everyone warm despite the cooler weather. I'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Josh and the team. Thanks for choosing us for your family adventure — hope to see you again next time you're in Canmore!

Family rafting fun for all

Best family whitewater rafting trip we’ve taken. My 5 year old was so well taken care of, the rapids were much more fun than most that allow kids. The guide was amazing

Operator response

Thanks so much for the kind words! We're so glad your little one had a blast and felt well cared for out there — our guides take a lot of pride in making the rapids exciting but safe for young paddlers. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to the guide. Hope to see your family back on the river soon!

Highly recommended!

What an amazing experience! My family has never done whitewater rafting before and we had a memorable time. We felt safe our entire trip, while going through some pretty incredible rapids. The guides were informational and super friendly. The time spent on the water was well worth the price, what a value for the experience! I prefer supporting small businesses would definitely recommend these guys!

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this—and for trusting us with your family's first whitewater rafting trip! Safety is always our top priority, so it means a lot to hear you felt safe every step of the way, even through the bigger rapids. Our guides will be thrilled to know their friendliness and know-how made the trip. Thank you for supporting a small, local business—we couldn't do this without folks like you. We'd love to have your family back on the water anytime!
