2025 marks Wild Water's 34th season on the KICKING HORSE RIVER. We take great pride in providing first-class, top-notch rafting experiences for each and every guest. No detail is too small, nor any logistic too challenging. Whether it be complimentary top-of-the-line gear (cleaned and dried after every use), welcoming and extensive River Base amenities (such as heated, indoor change rooms), or our highly professional river rafting crew, Wild Water Adventures has it all.
Under the skillful control of the highly experienced Wild Water guides, rafts expertly maneuver past stunning scenery and through turbulent and challenging waves and rapids.
See you soon on the river!

Join Wild Water Adventures on the famous Kicking Horse River for a true Rocky Mountain whitewater rafting experience. Famous for its waves and rapids, the Kicking Horse offers ‘mild to wild’ whitewater options. Satisfy any level of desired whitewater adventure with either our half-day or full-length trips. We are here to make your Kicking Horse adventure the best it possibly can be. Safety at Wild Water is our #1 priority. At the River Base (2750 Beaverfoot Rd, Golden BC), change into top-of-the-line provided gear and be shuttled to the river. After a thorough safety briefing, it is time to raft! Choose between fun-filled 1/2-day trips or longer full-length experiences. Families and the mildly adventurous will love the Gentle trip, a perfect introduction to whitewater rafting. Bigger & wilder waves are found on the Whitewater Exciter. The full-length Tradition maximizes time on the river and is the Gentle & Whitewater Exciter trips put together! Depending upon the trip of choice, on-river time ranges from 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours.** ** AGE & WEIGHT CRITERIA
