Itinerary
This family river rafting tour is on the famous Kicking Horse River, located approximately 1.25 hours west of Banff. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by your guide and given a safety orientation. Then, strap on your safety gear, hop in your raft, and start floating at a leisurely pace 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.
Transport is available for this tour from Banff for an additional charge. However, if guests select the transport, they will be waiting at our river base for the longer trip to finish before departing back to Banff. We recommend guests drive themselves to the base.
