What to expect
On this exciting Class 3+ whitewater adventure, you will be transported by bus from Jasper to our launching point near Mount Robson.
Your guide will provide the necessary technical equipment including paddles, wetsuits, neoprene booties, paddle jackets and helmets. Being prepared with your swimsuit on under your clothes allows you to be suited up and ready for the river in record time
After a short instruction/safety briefing in the shadow of Mount Robson, your highly experienced, certified river guide will launch your raft into the river and expertly maneuver it downriver through sections of turbulent rapids and swirling eddies.
About mid-way downriver, you'll pull-in to the shore for a short land portage around the impressive Rearguard Falls. Jumping back on board your raft at the base of the falls, you'll continue through more sections of whitewater, passing steep canyon walls while surrounded by a backdrop of spectacular Canadian Rockies scenery. Be sure to keep an eye out for the abundant wildlife and seasonal spawning salmon along the way.
The total round-trip time is 5 hours which includes 2 hours of rafting (with a short portage), instruction/safety briefing and bus transfers to/from Jasper. This tour takes you down Class-3 rapids, which are considered intermediate, making this an exciting, wet and adrenaline-producing trip for all experience levels.

Fun and exhausting experience. The adrenaline goes around in your whole body all the time. Thrill of the waves and the ones with a scare of water just paddelt through and forgot all about it. Great guides and all in all a really recommendable experince with Maligne Rafting Adventure. Are you in the area do go and give yourself this adventure. Really fair prices for nice photos afterwards. We were a group of 15 doing it together in two boats. Our guides sailed us close to the other boat to we could splash eachother and shoot at the other boat with our watergun. Great fun! And great guides.siegh d

Our party of six did the raft trip on the Fraser River on Aug 29, 2022 and it was really great! The scenic hour long bus ride to and from the river was amazing by Moose Lake and Mt Robson. Our guide Anton was the BEST and was humorous and knowledgeable. It was a physical activity and while the portage was a bit of a challenge, it afforded us an incredible view of the falls. Great equipment, organization and support- I would highly recommend Maligne Adventures!nicolefogel

We went on the Maligne Adventures Fraser Class III rapids. We had such an amazing and fun time! The scenery was beautiful and the rapids were manageable for beginners. The staff were friendly, coordinated, and ensured our safety at all times.
