Starting from our private river base, enjoy a serene 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.

At trips end, enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch of juicy burgers, fresh salads and even dessert back at the private Hydra River Base. Back in dry clothes, check out your group rafting shots in our lodge and maybe pick up a souvenir of your day.
