5Water fun
Great experience, nice and fun guys and enjoyed the ride. It is not a very intense raft at this time of the year, but fun to do.
5Fabulous trip
What an amazing trip. Reasonably priced. Weather was perfect. I was a bit apprehensive at first as never done anything like this before but our guide Erin was very friendly and was able to put me at ease. Andre was our driver and photographer Go with your swim wear under your clothes as you will get changed on the bus. We had all the gear supplied, wet suites jackets shoes mittens wooly hat. And of course life jackets. We had a safety briefing and instructions prior to getting in the boat. Erin is very knowledgeable and told us all about the river and knew all the names of the surrounding mountains. We went over quite a few rapids, not too scary just right. There is a chance to swim in the river at the end My tip is take a towel for when you get changed at the end, your swimming costume will be wet.
5Fun Rafting Adventure
We had a great time rafting on the Athabasca River. Our guide Ainsley was lots of fun and very knowledgeable about the area. Trip was well organised from start to finish. Would highly recommend.
5White Water Rafting
Fantastic afternoon rafting, Ainsley steered our raft of 6, really knowledgeable and a great laugh. Tate drove the bus and took the pictures and Aaron captained the other raft. Together the team made our adventure a great experience.
55 mile rafting
Thanks to Aaron, Andre and especially Ainsley our raft guide who was a bundle of enthusiasm and kept us entertained the whole time, please give her a big bonus so she can go up to Vancouver island to see the orcas! 😁
5GREAT EXPERIENCE
This was an AMAZING experience. I had never been rafting before and I was very excited and scared BUT the guides were excellent, instructional and at no time were we unsafe! Highly recommend this company Jasper Rafting Adventures!! And they pucked us up and dropped us off at the Fairmont where we were staying!!

Jasper sits at about 1,060 metres on the Athabasca River, ringed by peaks, in the largest national park of the Canadian Rockies. The town grew around the railway in the early twentieth century, and elk graze on its lawns and wander its streets.
