What a fabulous adventure for the whole family. It all starts with a big welcome and our first set of instructions, followed by a fun and bumpy bus ride to the river. Next, we put our equipment on and receive event more safety training. And then the adventure starts! Our guide Jared was fun, knowledgeable, and so friendly. He made the trip even more fun! We all recommended this fun rafting trip for the whole family! read more

In a word, INCREDIBLE! My family of 6 of us went white water rafting with Kootenay Raft Co and it was incredible! The staff, the sites, the experience were all 5 Stars! It was our first time rafting and we had 2 adults, 2 kids (12&13) and 2 seniors (grandparents, late-60's) yet ALL of us said this was bar-none the best experience of our entire trip to Canada. We chose their main experience which was the intro rafting route which still peaked at level 3+ rapids. The views were absolutely breathtaking! We saw and learned so much, like "don't park your car on eroding cliffs". This is only something you could truly experience from the water: mountains, cliffs, wild life, rapids, serene beautiful nature, hikers, peaks and valleys, laughter, excitement, just a hint of brief terror, more laughter and so much more! Our in-raft guide was Tony, the Canadian, and he was exceptional. He was a great teacher and encourager. He is obviously a natural leader who is comfortable in the water and around people. He made us all at ease and really took the time to educate and listen to each person. More so, he's an expert at his craft and even with the obvious potential risk, he made us all feel quite safe. Our scout was Ben, the Frenchman, and he was definitely the seasoned veteran of the group. They are all young guys, but Ben has lived in the area for years and knows the rapids very well. He went ahead in his kayak and would communicate with Tony the path for us to take. The two worked incredibly well together and made a great team. Ben was also our photographer for the wet and wild sections of our trip and let me tell you that guy knows all the key photo opportunities. Do yourself a favor and pay the $35 for the pictures as they were great! It's a flash drive that contains roughly 90 pictures of the days adventure. Finally, our bodyguard was Rolf or Raulf from Finland. He might have drawn the short straw, not sure, but he stayed behind with the bus to guard all of our stuff. He also met us at the destination with some above average cold watermelon and lemonade. Finally, he was our on-land photographer and also had quite the eye for camera angles. These guys run a top notch shop and provide everything needed for the adventure. They even helped us fight our way into and out of the provided wetsuits. For the group or individual looking to have a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and to receive white glove service then this is what you've been waiting for! I think Tony stated it best when he said, "we provide everything, you just have to bring the enthusiasm!" read more
