This river has a lot of action. You won’t be bored on this trip. Everything is very well organized and I felt at ease with our guide.
Fun! Well Organized! Great Staff and Guides! Definitely the highlight of our family trip. You will love the adrenaline rush you get on this splashy ride down the Kicking Horse River. Well worth the cost. Landon, Rocky, Lucy, Matias and Ray were friendly, cheerful and great guides! You will want to do it again as soon as you’re done!
Our family took the "Gentle" rafting trip and had a blast! None of us had ever been rafting before and there was enough variety to have some comfortable rapids and a sweet finish. Gavin (our guide) was amazing and made the trip really memorable with his fun personality and knowledge of the area. Would absolutely do it again!
The wild water experience was excellent the company were very friendly and efficient. The adventure had safety at the centre but provided excitement and an unbelievable experience. The views were spectacular and the rapids were insane. Spencer our raft leader was brilliant he gave us great instruction and took the time to get know us during the day. Fantastic!
First time in a raft for my two 10 year olds, it was a highlight of our holiday. The Gentle Rafting Trip was ideal, some bumps and white water, lots of incredible scenery. Our guide Louise made it fun for our kids and the other family with us, got a few of us soaked, and got the kids rowing too. She was great and told us stories of her rafting adventures in South America and her experiences in Canada. 10/10, would go again and do something more extreme!
Hi Kierenn, Thank you so much for taking the time to write out such a wonderful review. We are so stoked to hear you and your family had fun out on the Gentle trip with Louise, and will be sure to pass your kind words to her! We hope to welcome you guys back as soon as the kids turn 12 for our more extreme rafting trip! -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
10/10 experience on the Kicking Horse River with Wild Water Adventures for our yearly girls trip! A special shoutout to Spencer our rafting guide. This guy is like Spencer from iCarly mixed with your sexy camp counselor crush. He’s a raging feminist, neurodivergent, and entertaining af. He truly should become a comedian in addition to his other marketable talents.
Hi Molly, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review. We are so stoked to hear that rafting was a hit on your girls trip! Spencer is definitely a great guide, and he will be so happy to hear your kind words. We hope to have you all back next year for some more rafting with Spencer! -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
This was my first time Whitewater rafting, and after this experience, I think I’m hooked! It was so fun and exciting. I felt safe the entire time in the capable hands of our guide Spencer. He was knowledgeable, but kept the mood light and made it enjoyable for all of us. What an amazing experience!

We split up and 2 of us went on the gentle trip and 2 on the Exciter on 2 August Great wee afternoon. Big shout out to Gav, (the guide on my trip) honestly the best!!! So kind, funny & knowledgeable! You are a gifted guide Gav! You made time for everyone on the trip and your attention to everyone’s enjoyment and safety was exceptional! Also, Wild Water were the most responsive to email queries than any of the other many trips I booked for our holiday. The Browns
