Lovely way to spend a couple of hours

We had a really nice time. The scenery is beautiful and the guides were friendly. I wish I had brought water shoes. There was a wading opportunity, but the rocks were too hard on my feet without water shoes. You stay totally dry while in the raft.

Rain or Shine You’ll Have a Great Time

We had a great time!! Weather was a bit rainy but didn’t change how beautiful the scenery and the ride was still 10/10. Our guide was great and filled us with lots of information. The karaoke on the way back made the trip 10+++. Highly recommend!

Entertaining tour with a friendly guide

Despite the rain and cold, a cheerful experience with a great guide! It was a lot of fun! The short bus ride back to the starting point was also fun.

The Bow River Float!!

Patrick was our guide for the float down BOW RIVER today. It was absolutely wonderful. Very relaxing, peaceful and safe. Patrick was very knowledgeable regarding the history of the area and the river itself. We got to stop on a little island and Patrick gave us a lesson in skipping rocks. So much FUN!! I was able get some amazing photos along the way. Definitely worth it!! Thank you so much for everything. Tessa Marie Durand Owens

Excellent Trip

We had an absolutely great time on the river float with Patrick. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and a brilliant guide, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. It was such a fun and relaxing time, and one we’ll remember for a long time. Patrick was fantastic and really made the experience special. We would highly recommend the river float and, if you’re lucky enough to have Patrick as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!
