Amazing white water rafting! - This adventure was an absolute blast! Our guide, Tyler, was phenomenal—his enthusiasm and knowledge truly elevated the experience. He ensured everyone, regardless of age, had an amazing time. The trip was well-organized and filled with fun moments that created lasting memories. Tyler’s energy and passion for what he does are contagious, making the adventure even more enjoyable. Whether you’re young or young at heart, this is a must-do activity. Highly recommend it for families, groups, or anyone looking for a fun and exciting day out!

Super fantastic! - Fantastic...all around! My grandson had a blast and so did I. The guides were amazing and made sure each and everyone was comfortable. They also had delicious snacks half way through. I'm planning on going again next year and bringing another grandchild.

Perfect day !! - Beautiful scenery, excellent guides all very entertaining and knowledgeable. From the moment you arrive at check-in you know this is going to be a good day The teamwork and organization of guides and drivers cannot be matched. Instruction was presented in a way that was comical and informative and definitely kept your attention. Yes you were splashed!! Yes you were cold!! but that, along with the incredible scenery, colour of the water and atmosphere is what we signed up for. Not dangerous, little bit exciting, more relaxing but perfect for first timers and young families Snacks presented, organized and delicious. Loved to hear about what we were seeing on the river and on the bus ride to the “put-in” and travel home If I were in BC longer I would signup for another and will keep top of mind for return visit Thank you to everyone who shared the day with my brother and I

Totally worth it - What a fun half-day trip! I took my two sons, age 11 and 13, and when we had to leave I had requests to immediately go again. The scenery is beautiful, the river was a great balance of calm and a little exciting, and the snack break was much appreciated. The level of instruction is perfect for the river -- my kids and I felt prepared and not scared at all. The bus ride is a bit of an adventure in itself, but it's not like the tour company has much say in what roads are like. Our guide, Toby, was so personable and fun, but not over the top. He made our morning really enjoyable. One of my sons is now certain that he's going to grow up to be a rafting guide.

Great experience! - What a perfectly organized day we had with Kootenay Rivers Runners. By mail very clear information about how the day will go. The day before the trip had some phone contact for some questions, were well and kindly helped. We were very happy with Toby as our instructor, you felt safe in the boat and he had a lot of knowledge and experience. It was just a party with him on board. From check-in, by bus to the river, the explanation about safe and rafting, the snacks along the way, everything was thought of. At the stopover we could even pee at an outdoor toilet. We would go so again. Thank you all! Toby in particular. Team birthday-girl for Holland

Family adventure - Trip was amazing! Tyler was the best guide! The water is cold and we sat in front of boat so we got very wet. Highly recommend if in the area.

Fun! Beautiful views. - Went with my son (14)for his first river raft trip. The water was beautiful. Few rapids nothing scary. Some float time to take in the beauty surrounding you. The bus guy was funny.
