The best Whitewater Rafting Company - Having rafted whitewater with many companies in US and Australia I can state with conviction --- this one is by far the best. Guides seem to run the business and enjoy their jobs, No bull, no trying to sell some merchandise. Did I mention great value for money and mind-bogling video/photo package for $19 ?

Amazing rafting on the Kicking Horse River - Great river rafting experience. Very well organised from start to finish. Our guide was superb and made everyone in the boat feel included in the experience. The photo/video footage is very well done and creates a fantastic memory.

Funny experience - Don' t hesitate and do it! Even if you are travelling alone, as in my case, Glacier Raft's crew will make you feel at ease and confident. Fun guaranteed.

A great day but the photo package is a rip off for larger families - It was a great day, my teenagers absolutely loved it and we made fabulous family memoried. The only thing that really irritated me was the photo package. We went with a family of 5 and were required to pay more than a couple or a smaller group for the exact same product. Same photos but they cost more for me than for the smaller group in our raft. The other party (3 people) would have gotten the exact same photos but they cost me more for reasons simply because I have a family. I already paid for all 5 of us to raft (not at all complaining about that!) ... but to be required to pay more than others for the same product felt unfair. I paid it because I wanted the photos (couldn't bring my camera on the raft) but after a great day, I left feeling ripped off.

Family white water rafting - We had such a fantastic morning rafting with the team from Glacier Raft Co. We were given great safety talks, kitted out fully with whatever we needed and felt totally safe and at ease with our guide, Will. We did the morning half day family option and it was ideal for young children or anyone feeling nervous. The lunch stop was really good too. Our huge thanks to Ryan, Will, Dakota and Noemie for an amazing time, we highly recommend you guys!

Best adventure in Canada! - Our family had the most amazing time on the river with Nico! We did the full day trip and it was our first time rafting. I started out a bit nervous, but all the staff from gearing up to explaining safety and what to expect made me so comfortable that I was able to enjoy every moment on the river. Nico was fun and shared really cool facts about the river and the surrounding landscape. Our teens loved it and claim it as the best part of our 10 day trip to Canada.

Amazing experience of a rafting novice - AFter talking to osme friend mentioning that they wanted to do rafting whilst visiting Canadian rockies, we have decided to change our plans a do it as well. We have found GRC and booked the trip for the next day. I am not a very confident swimmer and I am scared of literally anything vaguely resembling any kind of 'adventure' or 'adrenaline' sport, so this was far from my comfort zone. I have absolutely LOVED it! and now I am looking where in UK I can do more rafting. The whole experience was great and I felt safe. WHen we arrived we were greeted and signed off, in few minutes one of the members of teh company explained in detail what is going to happen, how everything works etc. Then we received the neorene gear and helmets, again it was very efficient and they have adviced what kind of gear is most suitable as the water is very cold. After that we were transported by bus to the starting point, during a journey were told about the river and nature and given more instructions. Once we got to the place and the rafts were unloaded we got very thorough and clear instruction and training for htose who never tried rafting before. Before going on the water the helmets and safety jackets were checked by crew member and adjusted if needed. We were divided into the teams pr raft. Our raft leader Darren explained to us how to get on the raft and we got more intructions and training at the start where the water is stil flat ish and calm. And the adventure started. Darren was a great leader he was constantrly giving us instructions and managed to fit in some facts and jokes as well. I fels all the way safe and that if anyhing happened there is a plan and people around who wiollmake sure that we are safe. At one point we have stopepd to have a short break and drink some glacier water and further down also people could have a swim on the river for a short time. When we have finished we have helped to upload the rafts , pictures were taken and we had a short bus drive back to the base. There the collection of the gear was again very efficient and then tehy showed us the pictures and videos taken by the cameras of each boat and also by the drone. we could have then purchase these. Our team decided not to do that , which I ahve regretted and contacted the team month later and I was able to get the photos and the footage. Overall it was an amazing experience, I would hioghly reomend to everyone. Thank you very much to the team, you are amazing!
