About this activity

Experience the thrill of whitewater rafting on the World Famous Kicking Horse River.

Rafting since 1976, we're the original company on the Kicking Horse River! Meet at our private riverside basecamp with easy access for this must do activity for travellers from Golden, Banff & Lake Louise.

Get geared up & ready for an adventure with more time outdoors and less time on the bus. We supply wetsuits, neoprene river booties, a splash jacket, helmet & lifejacket, as well as the best rafts in the industry!

Enjoy small, personalized trips led by experienced guides. No experience necessary — just be ready to paddle into your adventure. The trip allows the perfect combination of a short section of calm waters, then picks up until you’re getting soaked in continuous class III to IV+ rapids.

Just bring a swimsuit and towel — we’ll take care of the rest. Photos and souvenirs are available to help you remember the adventure.
