5Fun times
We had great time on my first rafting experience. Molly, Ainsley and Arron were so friendly, helpful and so much fun. We felt safe at all times. Highly recommended.
5Brilliant first time rafting experience!
We had such a great trip in Jasper rafting at Athabasca falls. It was our first time rafting & it was so good!! Cash, Ainsley & Aaron were brilliant banter! Definitely give it a go!
5Blown away! Merci!
We were blown away by our rafting experience! We brought friends from France, and they were delighted, too. Our guides were fun, kind, and they spoke French. Thank you, Jasmine, Arryn (bus driver and photographer), Fred, Ainsely, and anyone we've missed who worked the 3:30 shift on August 20. We would highly recommend this company, team, and experience. We were with four little girls and the group was wonderful with them.

Our daughter booked this trip forgetting her parents are over 65 but it was great. We didn’t expect to have to paddle or wear wetsuits! Arron and Aaron were extremely patient and helpful with our wetsuit and paddling issues. They made rafting so enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to take this trip with them again!
5So much fun!
So fun!! The initial pick up was a bit confusing- not sure where to meet, but they more than made up for that with the experience. Katie, our guide, was amazing. Highly recommend.

Mac, aRRon, and Jas did a great job. It’s wonderfully refreshing to take a dip on a rafting adventure. Unfortunately the Forrest burned down a few years back so the float spot isn’t as beautiful as it once was. Still a nice long float. There are not reallly changing rooms so wear dark underwear because it will get wet. Wetsuits are tight so I recommend tight fitting underwear so it doesn’t bunch. Bring a small bag to leave on the bus, with a towel. Make sure you bring a sunglass retainer if you’re wearing them. Sunscreen.

About Jasper
Jasper is a mountain town on the Athabasca River in Alberta, inside the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, among glaciers, lakes and wildlife.
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. The park, together with its neighbours, forms the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site, and it is one of the largest dark-sky preserves in the world.
