• Maligne Adventures - ‘Sunwapta’ is derived from the Stoney Indian term for ‘turbulent river,’ and this river truly embodies its name. With expert guides, groups will navigate the 13-kilometer stretch in 6-passenger self-bailing rafts, tackling a steady flow of Class II rapids interspersed with several Class III whitewater sections.

Located in the pristine wilderness of Jasper National Park, the Sunwapta is a low-volume, technical river that traces the Endless Chain Mountain Range from its origin at the base of the Athabasca Glacier. Participants will be surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Canadian Rockies, offering prime wildlife viewing opportunities from the raft or during the scenic bus ride. These trips require no prior experience and are ideal for physically active individuals aged 12 and above, weighing at least 90 lbs (41 kgs), who seek an exhilarating adventure.

Please arrive 15 minutes before departure for check-in procedures.
