A PERFECT INTRODUCTION – THE FAMILY ADVENTURE
Are you feeling a bit nervous about hopping in a raft? Are you travelling with young children? Do you want to sit back, relax and enjoy floating through the Canadian Rockies?
This is the trip for you!
You’ll start your day off in Yoho National Park, meandering down the Kicking Horse River. You're surrounded by forests and mountain peaks and there's a chance to hop in for a swim if you want to.
There are some small bumps and splashes on this part of the river, but it's not a getting soaked, whitewater kind of trip. It's a fast paced float through beautiful, mountain scenery. It's a gentle introduction to river rafting.
You'll stop at the Fountain of Youth. A short walk up a little canyon will bring you to a beautiful cascading waterfall. Take a drink or dunk your head and see if it lives up to its name.
The upper canyon is class 1 with some class 2 - 2+ sections, as well.
You’ll enjoy a big riverside BBQ lunch. Think juicy burgers and sizzling smokies – with options for our veggie and GF friends too.
This is the ‘Can we pleeeeease do that again tomorrow?’ trip for little kids and first timers alike!
* Due to Covid-19 requirements we are offering a simplified BBQ buffet for summer 2021. Because of this, we have lowered the price to $89 for adults and $69 for children (11 and under).
**We're continuing to offer our 'BOOK A BOAT' option in 2021. This allows you to secure a private raft for your group. It's the only way we can guarantee a boat just for your bubble, and it's offered at a discounted rate. Learn more here.
A Few More Details
*All guests must bring a face covering that meets current health regulations. Please bring a second face covering in a Ziploc so you have a dry one to wear on the bus ride back at the end of your trip. You can tuck it in your life jacket.
*If you’re loving your day and want to go further, let your guide know and they’ll make it happen. This is for rafters who are at least 12 years old and 90 lbs, and provided we still have space available. There is no guarantee we'll have seats available. We'll charge the difference in price to the credit card we have on file. If your kids meet the requirements to raft the middle canyon, we recommend booking the Full Day Rafting Trip up front. It offers more excitement and it's the only way we can guarantee your spots.
*We hold the right to cancel a trip if water levels fluctuate to a level that makes it unsafe for us to raft. Water levels are completely dependent on Mother Nature, so we may not know until the day before, or morning of the trip. Safety is the only consideration when making this decision. If we cancel a trip for this reason you will receive a full refund.
*The child rate of $69.00 applies to anyone who is 11 and under.
* There's a $5.00 Land Use Fee and 5% GST applied to all trips.
