This two hour round trip (~one hour on the water ) is our most popular trip, and has the longest season, early May to late September. Your adventure begins with a 10 minute float followed by Class II rapids. Class II is an excellent introduction to white water as it offers a mix of splashy thrills, and calm floats.

Suitable for ages 5 and up.

For groups larger than 8 people, please contact us before booking.

What to expect

Raft down what explorer David Thompson and countless fur traders canoed up. It's more fun this way!
