Route Overview

This half-day tour is your gentle introduction to white river rafting. This rafting experience will be as smooth as gets, with a few slightly shaky spots to get the adrenaline pumping. No one is getting soaking wet – unless you choose to go for a swim!

We start at 9.30 a.m. and immediately hit the waters of Kicking Horse River. The parts of the river that we will cover during this tour are mostly Class 1 rapids with some tiny Class 2 – 2+ sections, meaning nothing too intense is going to happen. Instead, you will enjoy a fast-paced float down the stream. Plus, you’ll get to look up at the trees and mountains that tower over the river.

You will then stop and take a short hike to discover the Fountain of Youth. Drink its water and see whether its rejuvenating powers are as strong as the name suggests!

Afterward, relax and recount your experience with fellow rafters over scenic lunch on the banks of the river. We serve juicy burgers with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available upon request.
