5.00We were in large drafts of 10 people. I felt it was very safe. Our guide was very informative and it was a very relaxing way to take in the scenery.
A great way to spend an evening!

5.00The guides were professional and pleasant getting us ready onshore, Though none of us had ever rafted before, they made us feel confident and comfortable. Amelia was informative, personable, entertaining and responsive to all our questions and jokes as we enjoyed our evening float.
Great experience

5.00A great evening, well looked after and informative guide, Lucien. Stayed nice and dry going down the river. Stopped for photos on a gravel bank and suddenly 1-2 dozen Elk and calves come out of the banks and swim across the river - Amazing !!

5.00What a beautiful evening for a float down the river! Krista was our guide. She did a great job keeping it safe and smooth plus entertaining our raft of 8 with info about the area, river and recent animal sightings. We made two stops along the way and YES! We saw Mama and Baby Elk and even saw them crossing the river! Once in a lifetime. Your feet never get wet. The views you can only get from the water. This company does a great job. Worth every penny.
Beautiful!

5.00We did the 2.5 hour evening float. It was so relaxing and our tour guide was really funny and informative. We really enjoyed the tour. If you are a fan of the iconic Three Sisters, this is a new way to see them from a different perspective and it’s just gorgeous. In regards to Covid, there were 6 of us in the boat and we wore masks in the van (for the shuttle) and in the boat and we sanitized before and after the float. Since we did the evening tour the masks were fine, but on a hot day if you go earlier for the one hour you might be uncomfortable. Either way I felt safe and we really enjoyed the option to get out and do something. Support a local Canmore company!
