Overview

Enjoy a beautiful day rafting down the picturesque Kananaskis River in Alberta, Canada. This day trip from Banff or Canmore will get you into a raft and cruising down for 1.5 - 2 hours on the turquoise waters of the Kananaskis River, one of Alberta’s most pristine waterways. This excursion is an ideal introduction to the thrill of whitewater rafting, and is great for families or groups on the class 1-3 rapids. Spot local wildlife and soak up Canada’s unparalleled beauty as you cruise down this beautiful river.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Kananaskis Valley, Highway 1A, Alberta Canada

Listen as the professional guides explain how to paddle and give safety instructions for your epic 1.5 to 2 hour adventure down the Kananaskis River, which originates in the Canadian Rockies and flows 46 miles (74 km) before emptying into the Bow River.

Relax as you cruise along the calm parts of the river, taking in the scenery of craggy mountains and verdant trees. Keep an eye out for wildlife like eagles and other birds soaring overhead and bears or deer walking along the banks of the river.

But don’t relax for too long — this is still an adventurous river. Listen as your guide directs you to navigate the periodic rapids. Hang tight as you bump up and down over the white water as if it were an aquatic bronco. When your rafting adventure comes to an end, you’ll be rewarded with snacks and high-fives, before relaxing on the ride back to your starting point.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Chinook Rafting, 215 Banff Avenue, Banff, Banff National Park, Alberta T1L 1E3 Canada

After pick-up from Banff or Canmore (optional), take a brief but picturesque ride through the Canadian countryside to the tour meeting point.

Once you've signed a waiver and geared up at the riverbase, you'll be transported in a comfortable bus to the riverbase to begin your whitewater rafting journey.

We had an amazing rafting experience on the Kananaskis with Chinook rafting! Our guide, Rachel, was awesome - she was great at instructing the group, very personable, and highly knowledgeable about Banff in general. The rapids (class 2/3) were good for the novice adventurer - some pretty strong rapids for the first half and then a pretty chill ride the second half. Our son was too young to do class 4 (11 yrs old), which we would likely do if we went again. The whole group really emphasized safety and had great energy to make it a memorable experience.

The attention staff gave to those of us on the raft was great! Richard asked so many questions to get to know us and educated us so much on things we were seeing down the river and also other fun Canada facts. Being from the states we appreciated all his tips after our rafting trip.

The quote was good. We took the afternoon limited white water experience and she loved it. Perfect entry level for a newbie.
