Rafting the Kananaskis with Richard was the highlight of our trip! My husband, two nieces, and I had an absolute blast—just the right mix of thrills and scenery. Richard kept us laughing, safe, and spotting waterfalls like pros. Bonus points for the snacks at the end—because nothing says “conquered the rapids” like hot chocolate and a little doggo time! The free photos of the whole adventure was a real class act! Highly recommend!

Absolutely the best experience of my life!! I was a little nervous at first, but I’m SO glad I went through with it. From check-in to returning back to base, the crew made me feel completely at ease. Our guides, Rachel and Tim, kept us laughing the whole way and made the journey unforgettable. I will 100% be booking another tour with this group—and I highly recommend you do the same!

We've done this trip TWICE (last year and this year) and both trips did not disappoint. The guides are fantastic, accommodating, and relatable. We had a large group (ages ranging from 10-70) and everyone had a blast. We did the 1pm afternoon trip (from Get Your Guide) which gave us plenty of time to relax and eat well before hand, while still wrapping up with plenty of time to get to dinner. It's also warmer in the afternoon. The rapids are up to Level 3 meaning there are a couple of Level 3s but also plenty of smaller ones. The 2nd half of the trip is relaxing as you float down the river. Depending on your group, not everyone has to paddle...they can sit in the front (dress warm if you are sitting down in the front... you will get wet!). They will give you an extra fleece jacket that goes over your wetsuit and under your windbreaker. If you're not the strongest paddler, no problem, they will seat you accordingly! Kids loved jumping into the calm water towards the end of the trip. We also saw wild horses and a bald eagle on our way down! The guides teach you everything you need to know and what to expect. The hardest part was getting the wetsuit on and off LOL. Tip: Bring a full extra change of warm clothes, towels, and sunscreen if it's sunny

For my kids first time experience this was a perfect experience! The meet up location was perfect and easy to find. Chinook rafting tour guide and team was very well organized. The flow of the whole experience from A to Z was perfect. I would do it again.

We had a very enjoyable trip - there were 8 people in our group, so we had a raft to ourselves with David as our guide. He was fun and very knowledgeable which made us feel safe and prepared when going down the rapids. The company as a whole was very organized and explained the rules and process well. The free photos came out awesome! Great day, highly recommend!
