Kicking Horse Classic

The ultimate whitewater in the Canadian Rockies!

The Kicking Horse River near Banff National Park is a whitewater experience unparalleled in the area. Wild whitewater, spectacular scenery and wildlife make this the adventure of a lifetime. Start your day relaxing while you meander through the beautiful upper scenic float section of the Kicking Horse. This is a great opportunity for you to practice your paddling techniques and get accustomed to your raft before you hit the whitewater. First we hit ‘Hopis Hole', a class three wave guaranteed to get you wet and put a smile on your face. Five minutes after hitting ‘Hopis', we stop for a delicious riverside steak barbeque lunch . After lunch is when the exciting whitewater trip begins, (also the start of our half day trip). Afternoon trip begins with 'Portage and Shotgun' a kilometer stretch of Class 4, followed by many more Class 3 rapids. At ‘Last Waltz' (class 3) our photographer will be taking your picture and you can check them out back at our base!
