Ah-maxing - Ah-mazing! Our guide drenched my daughter, which made it all worth it. Awesome rapids about 40% of the time. Some of us in our family had done the New River in West Virginia and the Colorado. This was so much better. We all got quite wet. Our knowledgeable guide knew how to get the most wow factor out of the rapids while still keeping us safe.

A memorable adventure in Jasper - Just had an amazing white water rafting experience on the Sunwapta River in Jasper on a beautiful day in July! 🌊 Our trip was nothing short of exhilarating and completely exceeded our expectations. Our raft coach, Andy, was not only funny but incredibly informative about the stunning landscape surrounding us. Despite our minimal prior rafting experience, my girls and I had a memorable time on the water. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for some adventure in Jasper.

Continuous Rapids - Our family had a blast. We’ve gone rafting on the New River and a river in Colorado, but this was hands down more fun. Continuous rapids. Our guide, Jacob was so much fun and intentionally soak my daughter to add to her experience. Highly recommend.

Fantastic! - Very relaxing white water rafting down the river. The views from the boat were absolutely spectacular! The guides were super lovely and could share all sorts of info about the river and the experience.

Absolutely worth it - The entire crew are awesome. From van pickup, the drive to bus ( thanks Connor) and the raft ride was spectacular. It rained and the water was high enough to get a great ride (swamping). Beautiful scenery with a dust of snow on the mountain rim.
Thanks again to Nate ( our guide)

Great time for teens! - Great rafting - quite a lot of 'flat' sections but the rapids were well worth it.
Well organised school bus from Banff and friendly staff.
The whole process was well planned and clearly thought through.

Had a blast on the river - We had a fantastic rafting adventure yesterday with Shane. River was high as were the rapids. Very smooth operation. Would definitely recommend. It was the highlight of our trip

Just do it, it'll be worth it, even if the weather is crap. - We drove all the way from the Lake Louise area to do the Sunwapta River Rafting Adventure (the self-drive option). The weather wasn't great that day, a little cold and raining. As with everyone else, we got changed into our wet-suits outside the bus that took us to the starting point. It was a long drive, it was cloudy and cold, and was raining, but it was totally worth it, and we would do it again. Being over age 55, we were clearly the oldest in the group of four full rafts, but it was fine. Our raft leader/guide, Jacob, gave clear instructions and made sure we hit some of the bigger rapids. It was a great day out.
