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.

It’s awesome experience especially if you like adventure and beautiful scenery at the same time. Our guides are cute and knowledgeable. I would love to join higher level if there is any.

The tour guides were super friendly and giving us lots of information about the surrounding. The most important thing is that 2 hours is the total time including the commuting to the parking. So you will be an hour on the boat if you have booked a 2-hour tour. I wish we were encountering more rapids and was taking longer time. Was a satisfying experience. Worth the money! :)Our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) enjoys the water but had never tried white water rafting. I am so glad that we booked this tour!

Our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) enjoys the water but had never tried white water rafting. I am so glad that we booked this tour! The staff were all excellent and safety was obviously a priority. We wanted a tour where we could participate in the rafting but not feel out of our league. This trip was perfect! It’s a nice combination of rowing, splashing, and relaxing. The scenery is breathtaking! Our guide, Annaja, was entertaining and very capable on the water. She shared many interesting stories about the river and life in Jasper, and the time flew by. Can’t wait to try another tour in the future!Listen - I’m 50+ years old, fat and completely out of shape, and I have never gone white water rafting before, so I was a touch nervous. Jacob and Andre were outstanding from the get go and made me completely comfortable. And it was fun from start to finish! Probably going to be an annual trip f...

We had a great day on the beautiful Athabasca River with Nate and Miriam! We had 2 guides go with us as it was Nate's last day of the summer. Both were so knowledgeable, fun and friendly. All the staff at pick up and drop off are excellent and enthusiastic. Safety is taken very seriously also. Kelvin is a great driver and photographer and we got some amazing pics to take home! Thanks team! See you next summer!!! (PS don't forget to tip your guides, I noticed many people don't)
