A memorable, true wilderness rafting experience! - Such a memorable experience. Our guide Noe truly made the all day raft trip down the beautiful Kootenay River an above average experience. His positive energy paired with his inquisitive nature of asking all of us questions and remembering our names helped us quickly create a group bonding in the wilderness. If you have the chance, do pick a warmer day to do this trip, Jeff

The best thing since sliced cheese ❤️❤️ - I took my wife and daughters on the half day trip. We had the most amazing time and the most fun we’ve had in years. Are guide Zach was absolutely awesome and so much fun, he didn’t even make fun of me when I fell in the river at the end of the trip 🤣🤣🤣 Next year we will definitely be doing the full day trip. All the staff are absolutely fantastic, if you’re any where near Radium and have a free day get you butts down there and have some fun 🤩 😊

Great experience professional and Fun - We had a great experience on the river with Zach and his team. Zach was funny and engaging and made the trip so much fun. Everyone was so professional and well organized. I also want to give a shout out to the bus driver ( sorry don’t remember your name) for the adventure on the way back to radium at the end of our half day trip. It was almost as fun as the rafting. We will be back next year.

Wonderful family day trip - The staff was fantastic - from the office assistant, to the bus driver, to the river guide, everyone was friendly and accommodating. Our guide, Ryan, was outstanding as a leader, making the river adventure fun and interesting with his stories and landscape facts. Money well spent.

Super fantastic! - Fantastic...all around! My grandson had a blast and so did I. The guides were amazing and made sure each and everyone was comfortable. They also had delicious snacks half way through. I'm planning on going again next year and bringing another grandchild.
