From gentle family floats to roaring rapids, there’s a whitewater adventure for every level of brave. Many tours include pickup right in Banff, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure (and a towel).

Pick your rush:

• Family-friendly floats on the Bow River, great for first-timers and kids
• Horseshoe Canyon for splashy rapids and an optional nail-biting cliff jump
• Kicking Horse River for the big stuff, with class III and IV rapids about 90 minutes from Banff

Rafting season runs from late May to September, with trips typically ranging from $65 to $220* per person depending on the river and trip length. Age minimums vary by trip, so check before you book. Summer fills up fast, so reserve your spot early!
