Here are a few reasons why our team thinks you’ll love whitewater rafting in Banff!
It’s a Thrill
Probably the first thing that popped into your mind: white water rafting is awesome.
This activity gives you a next-level adrenaline rush, taking you through rapids and drops as you paddle downstream, which can come up on you really fast! Your heart will be pumping by the time you reach the end of the line.
If you choose our Raft the Kicking Horse River package, some of the rapids you’ll hit include Shot Gun, Man Eater, and Roller Coaster, with a total of 1-4 mix class rapids at 20km downstream.
It’s Kid Friendly
A common misconception about white water rafting? It’s not adults only! While it certainly gets the heart pumping, white water rafting is not an “extreme” sport, and is safe for kids 8 years of age or older.
All of our rafting excursions are championed by trained instructors, and all participants are fully equipped with the right gear so they can get the most out of this exhilarating sport!
For enhanced safety, our Family Whitewater Rafting Trip runs through the gentle sections of the Kicking Horse River, giving your kids all the fun of river rafting without the rough-and-tumble of the rapids.
It Promotes Teamwork
Is your family or office in need of some good team-building exercises? White water rafting is a great activity to get people working together towards a common goal! This is a fun activity to book as a work event or a bonding experience with the in-laws.
It’s in the Great Outdoors!
Like all the best things to do in Banff, white water rafting is a great way to get into the outdoors and see all of the Rockies’ natural beauty! Our Kicking Horse rafting excursion takes you through some of the more notable areas of Golden, BC (just an hour drive from Banff’s townsite).
This ride starts at the private river base and takes you through breathtaking views of Golden’s upper canyon.
White water rafting is also great exercise for your arms, back, and core, making it the perfect activity for those who want to stay on the move.
