I booked this rafting trip while on a week long celebration of my 60th birthday! We agreed this was our favorite activity of the trip and we did A LOT of things. Vern and the rest of the staff were very thorough and took great care of us. If you want a top shelf experience, Hydra is THE place to go! Thanks all for making our trip memorable.
Rapids were perfect in August. Exciting but not scary. Dean was an exceptional guide. Very informative and provided great guidance down the river. Stunning scenery and so much fun. Our family was able to raft just the four of us (two teens) which was an added bonus.
A dream come true as we were celebrating a 50th birthday! Our guide Kieran was a true rock star! She was fun, strong, knowledgeable. We loved the whole experience. The river was beautiful. We truly had a blast!!
Jaro was our guide and he was awesome! We definitely benefitted from his 11 years of experience as a river guide! Would highly recommend for a top notch experience!
This was the best experience!! Amazing education to keep you safe and the best guides that will MAXIMIZE the fun!!! We had Pete and he was knowledgeable and fun!!
We had a wonderful experience white water rafting down the kicking horse river! They give you wetsuits as the water is quite cold, but it ended up being nice with the sun out. Everyone in our raft got along well and had a great time!
I went with my 4 siblings and my dad for his 60th birthday and what an experience... We were a bit apprehensive going in but the guides were very calming and helpful. We got our gear on after a safety briefing and headed into the river with our guide. We did a number of different rapids and our guide (Kiaran) was informative and encouraged to take a dip into the glacier-fed water to avoid a shock once we inevitably got soaked. Another guide Bill was also there and was very funny and lightened the mood, calming everyone's nerves. It was one of the highlights of our trip and we would recommend it to anyone!!
It was the best experience. We loved every minute
Fabian was our river guide and he was fantastic and kept us safe. The water was Sooo cold but they provide wet suits. The class 4 rapids were wild. I was happy there was a rope down the middle of the raft to hold on to. I would highly recommend. I am 55, my husband 54 and my daughter 15.
Booking with Hydra was fast and easy. There were many times available to suit our schedule. Finding the drop off location was very easy. Once we got there Dave did an excellent job setting expiations and explaining the rules to make the trip safe. Our guide, Bill, was very knowledgeable about the water and how to navigate it safely but still have a lot of fun. I was worried about being cold, but it was a sunny day and they provide wet suits to help stay warm. I would highly recommend booking with Hydra and going rafting!
