Amazing ride - What a trip…. Amazing ride. The scenery was astounding and rapids were great. Guides (ours was Dave) were great and made us feel very safe (two 48 year olds and a 17 year old. Highly recommended. You even get to jump in the ice cold water at the end.

Splash mountain on steroid - It was a great time! Our guide, Bill, said he had been guiding for 13 seasons. He was fun and made it enjoyable but challenging for us. It was definitely a real rapid!

The highlight of our trip - We had an excellent time on the river. Our guide made us feel safe and comfortable, and the river was beautiful. There was a lot of opportunity to practice and gain confidence before the rapids began. Also, moments to enjoy the scenery between intense waves.

Excellent rafting experience - The rafting guide, Ben, was very professional and witty to help my family enjoy the rafting. The rafting itself suited well the level of my family including one minor.

Great time on the Kicking Horse! - Awesome guides that really make the trip fun! Ben was knowledgeable and funny- great combo! The river is lower in early August, but we still managed to get a few good rapids in and get soaked in the process. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cool rapid rides a true Canadian high of our trip - Our guide Ben was super helpful and informative although he scared the crap out of us during the safety briefing! Rapids we were told we’re really low for the the time of year- pretty sure at least one of us would have fallen out if it had been high.
