Having fun on the Athabasca River.
Our guide Nick was very good and a lot of fun. The route was adventurous at places which added to our experience.

Guide good with kids and more
Commendation for our guide Seb. While he was excellent at navigating the raft, and describing the river ecology, he perceived that our youngest rafter age 10 was uncomfortably cold. He adroitly invited her to help him guide in the back of the raft and to paddle thus warming her up. He engaged her to offer commands and taught her how to steer. Thus Sev turned a potentially uncomfortable trip for a little girl into a very memorable experience.

Terrific crew
Jonah was terrific!!! We had an amazing trip, lots of splashes. Learned great info about the area, plenty of picture perfect views. David took great action shots of us going thru the first rapids as well! Would totally raft with this company again (and we are, tomorrow!)

Well Worth Adventure
Went with my best friend and we had a very good experience and feedback on this tour. Mike and Andre were very friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced in the whole process from trip preparation, going to the river launch site, during the raft, as well they provided a lot of information that that is fascinating about the region-specific's ecology and environment. We actually took the paddle and pictures tour (not listed on the option for the review), but it comes with a lot of information on introduction to photography. Absolutely recommending the trip, worth both the value and for the experience.
