How to ride the rapids - Guides were very saftey conscious. I did not appreciate the manufactured water fight at the end of the ride. The rapids were just enough to get your heart pumping.

Family Fun on the Athabasca - We had an amazing time rafting the Athabasca. This adventure was perfect for young children; fun and exciting but not scary at all. Our guide Rory did an outstanding job making sure we had fun, and he was so good with the kids. Can't wait to go rafting again with this crew.

Perfect first rafting. - This was my first time rafting and this package was great for a first timer. Plenty of instructions, safety demonstrations and all the equipment supplied. One of the best parts is that you're assisted with removing your wet suit at the end in a matter of seconds!

Chilled float on the river - We had a chilled out float down the river. Our guide Cane was nice and we were well equipped to deal with the cold water. This is a great trip for first timers. There are some splashy sections and many chilled out sections on this family river run. Fun overall. If you want a more thrilling ride, pick one of their class 3 adventures.
