About this activity
A 30-minute bus ride brings you to the river put-in at the base of Athabasca Falls where you will be given all the necessary equipment and will change into your wetsuit. Being prepared with your swimsuit on under your clothes allows you to be suited up and ready for the river in record time! Your highly experienced, certified guide will give an overview on all rafting and safety procedures before you jump onboard the 6 passenger, self-bailing raft.

As you embark, you will hear the thundering of Athabasca Falls plunging behind you. Your raft will join a turbulent stir of whitewater whisking you downstream as your guide expertly navigates the river, surrounded by the high rock walls of the Athabasca Canyon. In the first part of the 12 kilometer ride, you will punch through consistent sections of exhilarating Class II rapids before the river mellows giving you a chance to relax. Take in spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies and perhaps even spot some local wildlife on the shoreline of this pristine environment.

All technical equipment will be supplied including paddles, wetsuits, neoprene booties and paddle jackets. You will need to wear a swimsuit or t-shirt and shorts under your casual clothing. Be prepared to get wet! Bring dry clothes, a towel and on cooler days, wool socks to wear inside the booties and a warm jacket to put on afterwards. You are also welcome to bring snacks and water to enjoy on the bus to and from the river.

These trips do not require any previous experience and are suited for individuals aged 5 years and above, looking for an introductory whitewater adventure.

The total round-trip time is 3.5 hours which includes 1.5 hours on the water, instruction/safety briefing and all transfers to and from the river. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to departure for check-in procedures and to meet with your guide.
