On this exciting Class 3+ whitewater adventure, you will be transported by bus from Jasper to our launching point near Mount Robson. Your guide will provide the necessary technical equipment including paddles, wetsuits, neoprene booties, paddle jackets and helmets. Being prepared with your swimsuit on under your clothes allows you to be suited up and ready for the river in record time After a short instruction/safety briefing in the shadow of Mount Robson, your highly experienced, certified river guide will launch your raft into the river and expertly maneuver it downriver through sections of turbulent rapids and swirling eddies. About mid-way downriver, you'll pull-in to the shore for a short land portage around the impressive Rearguard Falls. Jumping back on board your raft at the base of the falls, you'll continue through more sections of whitewater, passing steep canyon walls while surrounded by a backdrop of spectacular Canadian Rockies scenery. Be sure to keep an eye out for the abundant wildlife and seasonal spawning salmon along the way. The total round-trip time is 5 hours which includes 2 hours of rafting (with a short portage), instruction/safety briefing and bus transfers to/from Jasper. This tour takes you down Class-3 rapids, which are considered intermediate, making this an exciting, wet and adrenaline-producing trip for all experience levels.

5.00I’ve been on many white water trips but was taking my 16 yr old daughter on her first. Couldn’t have asked for a better first raft trip for her. The guide was friendly and funny and kept our whole group involved.
This was one of the best experiences...

5.00This was one of the best experiences of our Canadian Rockies vacation. The company and staff were pleasant to deal with and right on time. The rafting was fun and exhilarating! I would highly recommend Whitewater Rafting on the Fraser River with this company.

5.00My wife and 14 year old daughter have never been rafting and were a little dubious when they saw that I'd booked the top graded rafting trip 3. Once in the river they saw that anything less would have seemed pretty tame as most of the rapids are 2 with a few 3s. Had a great time, very professional and safe outift. At no time was there any chance anyone would fall out and all safety gear and briefings provided. We rotated through the boat during the trip and jumped in for a swim near the end. The portage section was absolutely fine as well. If you want to see photos of recent trips before deciding to book or not, go to their website and choose a date and time to see what the rafters experienced. Highly recommended.
This was amazing! It was my first...
