An awesome adventure! We had a great time with Wild Water Adventures! All the staff is very friendly and they are well organized. They provide all the necessary safety gear, including wet suit (with gloves and boots) fleece pullover, raincoat and life jacket. Our guide Andrew was superb! He was very enthusiastic, gave clear instructions, and kept everyone safe. Highly recommend Wild Water Adventures !
Excellent rafting experience with Wild Water Adventures – Wild Water Exciter! We had a fantastic time. The entire team was enthusiastic, friendly, and very professional. Everything was clearly explained before the trip, and safety was always the top priority, which made us feel secure throughout the experience. The rafting adventure was exciting and well organized. We especially enjoyed the school bus transportation, which was something new and fun for us. The photos taken during the trip were excellent and provided great memories of the day. A nice surprise at the end was the hot chocolate, which was very welcome after being out on the water. Thank you to the whole team for an amazing day. We highly recommend Wild Water Adventures to anyone looking for a safe, exciting, and well-organized rafting trip.
Hello Pavel, Thank you so much for taking the time to write out such a stellar review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed rafting with us, and the team will be so stoked to hear your kind words. The school bus transportation is definitely fun for those who've never been on a big yellow bus before! And we are so glad you enjoyed the hot chocolate at the end as well. We hope to raft with you again sometime soon! Safe adventuring -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
Such an incredibly fun day white water rafting. Our guide Tye was THE BEST! I was so anxious to go on the rapids and he was totally in control of the boat and made me feel so comfortable and I had a blast! I highly recommend
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a stellar 5-star review!! We are so stoked to hear you enjoyed rafting with us, and will be sure to pass along your kind words to Tye as well. We are glad he was able to ease some of your anxiety, as going out on the river can definitely be nerve-wracking! We would love to welcome you back for some more rafting anytime. -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
I can’t say enough about our experience with Wild Waters. Everyone there was genuine and was focused on the entire group having an amazing experience. Our guide, Matias, was very friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. He was smiling the whole time, as was everyone on the raft. Even before the ride, the team was looking out for us. I accidentally reserved the higher level course for my family, however, my daughter was under the weight limit for this course. They were able to get her and my wife on another ride at the same time on the gentle course, with no additional cost or hassle. We can’t wait to try Wild Waters again! I give my highest recommendations for Wild Waters Adventures to anyone that wants to try white water rafting.
Hey Lance! Thank you very much for leaving a review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your time here at Wild Water, and that we were able to create a memorable experience for you and your family. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to Matias! Have an amazing rest of your summer! Warm Regards, Melanie and the Wild Water Crew
I did the 5hr Traditional trip and it was so awesome! Best experience ever. It was my first time. All the staff are super friendly and accommodating. I had a blast! I will definitely be coming back here. I might even make this a yearly adventure. I'm so glad I bought the GoPro/Photo package because those are memories I want to keep forever. :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a stellar review! The team here will all be so stoked to hear your kind words. The GoPro & Photo package is always such a great choice, it's so fun to get some footage out on the river! We look forward to welcoming you back for another rafting adventure with us soon! -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
If you’re considering whitewater rafting in the Canadian Rockies, book with Wild Water Adventures! Our guide, Ty, was fantastic—engaging, funny, and the perfect mix of entertaining and professional. He made everyone feel confident while keeping the energy high from start to finish. The highlight was hitting one massive wave that completely submerged our raft. For a moment, all four of us were underwater, but thanks to Ty’s guidance, everyone stayed in the boat! It was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our Banff trip. Ty definitely earned that beer today! 🍻
Hi Carrie, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a stellar review! We are so stoked to hear you enjoyed rafting with us, and Tye will be so happy to hear your kind words as well. Hitting those big waves is always so fun, we are so glad it was the highlight of your trip. We hope to raft with you again someday soon! -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
My family and I had a great time on this tour. The water was cold but the company provided us with everything to stay warm. It's great for all skill levels. My boys are 12 and 14 years old and have been whitewater rafting in the locations but this was their favorite tour.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review! We are so glad to hear you and your family enjoyed rafting with us. We hope to welcome you back for some more rafting someday soon. Enjoy the rest of your time in the Rockies! -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
Amazing experience for our teenage son and ourselves. Our guide Spencer was highly knowledgeable and I felt very confident in his skills in leading us down a wild and wet river ride. He is a natural leader and handled a rider overboard incident from another raft as a true professional. We will never forget the memories we made on this adventure, we highly recommend booking this operator.
Hi Carmen, We are so thrilled to hear you and your family enjoyed your rafting experience with us! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review. Spencer will be very glad to hear you enjoyed being in his raft as well. We hope to raft with you again someday! Safe adventures! -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
Our family of 4 from the UK (kids aged 14 and 12) had a great time on the Kicking Horse River with Wild Water Adventures. We did the Gentle experience as our littlest was too slight to do the more vigorous trip. We still had a great time and went through 4 different rapids over the course of our 90 minutes on the water. Our guide, Jacob, was amazing and made sure we had an exciting time on the river. He was really knowledgeable about the river and the local area and was constantly chatting to us through the more leisurely sections. The organisation was really smooth and we couldn't recommend Wild Water Adventures and Jacob highly enough!
Hi Jordan, we are so thrilled to hear you and your family enjoyed your rafting trip with us! Jacob and the rest of the team will be so happy to hear your kind words. We hope you guys enjoy the rest of your time in Canada, safe adventures! -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
Whitewater rafting has always been something I've wanted to do and getting to do it in Canada on my birthday with my best friend made it even better! We were lucky enough to have Josh as our guide. He was safety focused, funny, knowledgable and really made the entire experience fun for everyone. As a tour guide myself out in Arizona for hiking, yoga and paddle boarding,, I appreciated how organized everyone was. All the guides were personable and funny and from all over the place. If you're looking for a memorable and fun whitewater experience and especially if it's your first time, I highly recommend these guys! 10/10 would go again. PS: Thanks Josh for my special birthday helmet!
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a stellar review! We will be sure to pass your kind words along to Josh. They will mean a lot to him especially coming from a fellow tour guide! We are so glad you enjoyed your birthday rafting trip, and we hope to welcome you back for some more rafting in the future! -Casey & the Wild Water Crew
