5.00It was a great experience. Especially the weather was sunny and the water was not too cold. Our guide, Molly is very friendly and professional.

5.00It was a great experience with MJ, Molly and Andrea….all 3 made the experience. The rafting was a great experience and way to see parts of Jasper. We are also slightly biased as MJ is from Australia as we all are too…..loved the commentary from her and fun discussions.
A great introduction to white water rafting with a friendly team!

5.00A great introduction to white water rafting. Rapids are not too scary and is appropriate for anyone to come and have a go. The team was wonderful, full of energy and cheer. We enjoyed the trip and got to see some elk along the way.

5.00Well organized. Guides are fun, but maintain importance to safety. Ollie made it a great experience. Spent about 45 minutes to an hour in the water itself. Went with children. Very safe.
