All rafters meet at site at 9.30am. The whole family starts their rafting experience together, in one raft, experiencing the gentle section of the river. At the end of the mild section, the children under 12 yrs of age and one adult will get out of the boat and return to our river site. The remaining group members over 12 yrs of age can continue onto the bigger rapids of the Kicking Horse Classic trip. The remaining group members will then return to the river site and the group / family can enjoy lunch together.
