Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Make your way to a departure point in downtown Jasper, where you’ll board a bus for the 30-minute trip to Athabasca Falls. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes for a quick change to a wetsuit, then join the river guide for a briefing on rafting technique and safety.

Grab a paddle and climb into a six passenger white water raft, then leave the shore with the thundering sounds of Athabasca Falls just behind you. The guide will steer you into the current as you paddle into a channel between the high rock walls of Athabasca Canyon.

You’ll take on a series of fun, exciting Class II rapids, then the river will flatten out for the relaxing final stretch. After roughly 1.5 hours on the water, the guide will steer you back to shore for the return trip to Jasper, where this tour concludes.

Please note: wetsuits, neoprene booties, and paddle jackets will be provided, as you’re sure to get wet while splashing through the rapids. Wear a swimsuit and bring dry clothes and a towel, as well as wool socks and a warm, post-paddle jacket for cooler days.

This was a fantastic scenic trip down the Athabasca! A few exciting little rapids, my older kids did wish there were more. All of the staff on our tour were welcoming and friendly. Levi was our raft guide, he was friendly and personable and made an effort to interact with all of us. He also has a very good knowledge of the area. It was the first trip for our kids (ages 16, 13, 13 & 8). Our older kids would've like more rapids, but class III is for 12 and up. All in all, everyone had fun and it was a great introduction to white water rafting for our family. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone, especially with younger kiddos.

Great excursion, excellent staff, Very attentive with covid measures, family friendly and safe. We had a great time! As a group of 2, we were paired with another group of 2 but that was it due to Covid. It was nice to not to crammed into the boat. We had very limited time in Jasper and they were flexible with us for a last minute change so we could maximize our excursions while we were there. That was much appreciated. It’s definitely geared towards families. It left us craving a level 3 river!
