Scenic Athabasca River Rafting

Overview

Experience the thrill and beauty of the Athabasca River, a recognised Canadian Heritage River on an exciting rafting and scenic float trip. Led by a licensed guide from Jasper National Park, embark on a journey once traversed by fur traders centuries ago, whilst learning about Jasper’s captivating human and natural history. Rest assured in the safety and comfort of specially designed, 7 m / 25 ft long rafts propelled by oars and equipped with lifejackets; this adventure combines gentle rapids and tranquil stretches, making it perfect for first-time rafters seeking an effortless and pleasant ride.

As the skilled guides handle the rowing, you can relax and relish in the breath-taking river scenery. Keep your eyes peeled for an array of wildlife, such as elk, deer, moose, coyotes, wolves, eagles, ospreys, mountain sheep and bears, adding an extra element of excitement to the excursion.
