Kicking Horse Rafting Trips

Never been rafting before or been rafting before and want something more? This Banff rafting trip is sure to satisfy whether this is your first or fifteenth trip. Our flagship trip since 1992, over 120,000 rafters have enjoyed this exceptional stretch of whitewater on the Kicking Horse River that we offer twice daily.  Suitable for all adventure levels, ages 12 years AND 90lbs and up.

Gentle

For the family or those seeking a milder river experience (sometimes known as “reluctant rafters”), this trip is ideal! Starting 4kms inside of Yoho National Park, enjoy the “float less traveled”. But, it’s not all gentle and calm. In fact, there are six excellent rapids from class II to III to splash and soak you during the 1½ hour journey on the water.

If you’ve got more time for the river, then “The Tradition” is for you. This traditional Kicking Horse River rafting trip combines the beauty and peaceful upper section of the river with the more exciting rapids found in our Whitewater Exciter half day trip, plus you’ll enjoy a delicious barbecue lunch served back at our RiverBase following the trip.
