What To Expect
Starting at the base of the Athabasca Falls, you'll raft 15 km down the majestic Athabasca Valley. This 3-hour round trip provides spectacular canyon scenery that combined with moderate rapids, make this an adventure trip ideal for the whole family. After a 30-minute bus drive from town, you'll be suited up in your rafting gear and receive a safety talk. Then there is a 5-minute portage down a road (built for Marilyn Monroe!) to the river. The river trip starts with the first set of rapids only being seconds away. Once these rapids have soaked everyone in the raft, you'll find yourself in a spectacular canyon only seen from the river. For the next 30-minutes, a combination of rapids and flat sections you can enjoy the scenery and enjoy the natural surroundings. It is just you and the river. The Falls trip ends with another set of rapids and amazing views of the Athabasca River valley. Once back on the highway, it is about 20 minutes to the townsite.

5.00Really fun morning and from start to finish, very well organised. We had enough people for two boats and the support of a great team - guides Riona, Eli, Andre and Nate who also doubled as bus driver and photographer. Really knowledgable and happy team who made the morning very memorable. Lots of fun for all ages and would thoroughly recommend.
Brilliant introduction to rafting with great hosts and amazing location.

5.00This trip was so wonderful. We booked early in February and the booking process was smooth and easy. Directions on what to expect, what to wear, what to bring/leave at home, where to meet were clear and easy to follow. The outside temp was 50F and water was 4C, and we appreciated the full wetsuits, jackets, booties, hats and gloves to keep us less freezing :) The guides were great as well! They prioritized safety and then also allowed us to have a great time. We especially enjoyed the conversation on the smoother sections of our trip - learning about the mountains, trees, local wildlife, town of Jasper etc. Our kids (11, 14) had a blast working hard to paddle and getting soaked up front! The class 2 rapids on this river were perfect for some adventure but also no danger - good for our youngest. We appreciated our guides - ainsley, Nick, Coleman and Aaron who made our time in Jasper wonderful!

5.00One of the highlights of our trip - we've never done any rafting before, so this was perfect for beginners. It felt like a very easy but fun roller coaster on water with stretches of meditative floating. I went with my parents, who are in their 60s and 70s, and this was doable for them. The water is cold, and at a certain point, they let you go into the water if you want (while holding on). I would recommend a bathing suit as they suggest on their listing - changing while damp and also trying not to expose yourself isn't easy, so I think a one-piece bathing suit would feel less exposing. Molly was a super chill guide with a sense of humour. I want to do Class 3 rapids now! Recommend doing this experience
A great rafting experience
