Overview

Join the fun on the Athabasca River for a unique perspective of Jasper National Park. Our 2-3 hour round trip passes through many small sets of rapids and calm stretches, which allows your National Park licensed guide to point out the natural and human history of Jasper. This float trip is safe for the whole family, from toddlers and grandparents to swimmers and non-swimmers alike.

Rivers are rated on a scale of one to six. Class 1 is considered to be calm moving water while a class 6 would be equivalent to Niagara Falls. The section of the Athabasca River that this tour rafts on is rated a Class 2; meaning that there are some sections with rapids, which may get your backside wet.

Wonderful experience! A gentle ride (with some exciting moments) on a beautiful fall day surrounded by awesomely gorgeous scenery. Our rafter Ziggy was friendly, knowledgeable, and very skilled. So skilled you didn't often notice it or how hard he was working - you just knew you were having a great time, and felt in good hands. I wasn't intending to get the picture of our group taken at the end, but it perfectly captured the memory of a great trip and our high and happy spirits. So I just had too, as did the majority of our group. Highly recommended.

This trip was so fun!! Yes most of us got wet on our backsides lol but they do have ponchos if you want to wear or just bring your own! The trip itself was nice and relaxing and the views were awesome even though it was a cloudy day. Finn was our guide and he was so awesome and kept us laughing! I was lucky enough to sit next to the owner Katrina! What a blast we had! Well worth the money!
