10/10 would recommend - Kate, Anneja, and Seb were all absolutely fantastic. This was my first time white water rafting and having Seb as the guide couldn’t have made for a better experience. So much fun! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to experience the Rockies in a new and different way. The views are amazing, and to get to go on the water that was a glacier less than a day ago was so cool.

So glad I did it. - Arrived in Jasper and had a spare afternoon and had wanting to try rafting for ages. So booked it and glad I did.
Great way to spend a few hours. I had Seb as my guide and he was friendly, fun and gave interesting points on the ride.
Overall it's fun and the view is fantastic, the staff are friendly, must also mention Kate and Anayla as were working alongside and a good laugh.

Fantastic family rafting experience! - We had such a fantastic time as a family of 4 on this trip! Our children aged 9 and 7 years old both loved it. Our guide, Seb, was so lovely. He was knowledgable, personable and funny. We would definitely recommend this as a must do in Jasper and this company were a great choice.
