Awesome - These guys were awesome, they were able to fit us in no problem, the kit was top notch. Safety was a priority and everyone was so friendly and helpful. The young lady who guided us was incredible, sorry I have forgotten your name . A little surprise stop at a waterfall and a great lunch. Thank you for a brilliant experience.

WHITE WHITE Water Rafting Adventure - We had a great white water rafting experience!! We appreciated the wet suits and jackets and layers - although decided by lunch was too much heat. Our guide, Ryan was awesome and very knowledgeable and professional. We were rafting at very end of their season so water was down some but we did have a series of good fun rapids water in last half of our trip!

White Water Rafting - We did the family adventure tour and it was perfect for our first time. Dan the guide had some great jokes and lots of information on the surrounding area. For someone who has never did white water rafting I felt safe. If you want a great adventure without the large rapids this tour is for you.

Great thrill seeking Wild Water Raft experience on Kicking Horse River - Ryan and his crew were so professsional in all aspects of this Wild Water Raft experience. From booking online, to email confirmations, reminder emails and lastly the safety briefings both on the bus and at the launch area. The equipment provided was in excellent condition and even had gloves that we asked for!! Ryan our guide was immensely knowledgeable of the Kicking Horse River and we felt safe at all times, whilst experiencing over 13 rapids of grade 4/3 intensity. A great thrill seeking trip and once that I would defintely recommend if you are in the area.... even for those of us senior in age :)

Austin is the best! - We had the best time with Austin! Austin was an absolute champion and made us have the best day on the raft. The whole crew was super friendly and Austin made sure we had a very safe and epic day with them. Could not rate our experience more highly, the beer at the end was very appreciated! Hope you get Austin as your guide, he is the best! :)

Best. Day trip. Ever. - Where to start… genuinely this experience proved to be one of the most fun things my wife and I have ever done together. We did the full day rafting experience and with Dan at the helm, did not stop laughing, screaming and paddling for the entire trip. Be prepared to get wet, and it is very cold, especially if you take the option to take a swim alongside the boat, but the feeling is electrifying. 100% recommend for families and friends, we even considered doing it twice but didn’t have enough holiday to make it happen! Could not recommend more!

Great adventure white water rafting with Glacier Raft Co - Awesome adventure on last day of white water rafting in the Kicking Horse River for 2024. Day started out cold and drizzly so thankful for all the layers provided by Glacier Raft Co incl wet suit, neoprene jacket, boots and mittens, fleece, and waterproof anorak. Only one class 3 rapid in the morning with a lot of floating. Alex our guide kept us entertained with local stories and knowledge and kept us warm with practicing moves for the afternoon rapids and the penguin dance. Lunch was so-so followed by a glorious afternoon. The sun came out, we had blue sky and fun class 2-3 rapids and one bodacious class in rapid.
