Starting from our private river base, enjoy a serene family float down the Kicking Horse River. Marvel at the scenery, lookout for wildlife and enjoy some commentary from our friendly guides. Then, it’s onto some whitewater! Get a taste of the rapids, enjoy the splashes from class 1-3 waves and maybe even share in a rival raft water fight. After your trip, once you're back in dry clothes, check out your group rafting shot in our lodge and maybe pick up a souvenir of your day.

This trip includes a delicious BBQ lunch of juicy burgers, fresh salads and even dessert at the private Hydra River Base.

If you’re looking for the best family fun on the river, this is it!
