The Kicking Horse trip includes all of the biggest & best rapids on the river. This unforgettable journey begins calmly, where you get familiar with rafting and find out fun facts about the river as you take in the views of the scenic upper section. Then, it’s onto the mighty rapids the Kicking Horse is famous for! As the canyon narrows, the waves build, drenching rafters in continuous class 4 rapids. We provide all the necessary rafting equipment, including wetsuits, shoes, helmet and life jackets and we have lots of warm gear so you will always be warm and comfortable.

Had an absolutely fantastic time, this was our first time white water rafting and will definitely do it again. Hennessy was our excellent guide, however all of the staff were lovely. If you’re thinking of white water rafting DO IT!

Brilliant! Our guide (Kyle) has was superb - made sure everyone had a great time and never felt anything other than safe. Our family of 5 had an awesome trip down the river - hit some really decent rapids and got soaked! Set up at base camp is great - plenty of parking, places to change, hot showers and snacks. Don’t be put off by the necessary safety briefing - at no point on the trip did we feel unsafe or concerned. Fully recommend the trip and Hydra - thanks team👍

This was my family’s first time white water rafting, and it is now our all-time favorite experience! Every employee was incredibly kind and helpful. Our guide, Jaro, was fantastic! He did a great job providing us with the necessary safety and technical information so we felt confident and at ease. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and geological features we saw. We had so much fun!

What an incredible adventure! The scenery is gorgeous, the rapids are spectacular, but the staff really sets Hydra River Guides apart. The in-house staff was so helpful and intentional, and the guides were amazing. Cam, the guide on our raft, was professional, friendly, and safety-focused while also making sure we all had a wonderful time. We would raft with Hydra again and again! Don't miss this!
