Not too scary, but wear your bathers!

Andy Pullinger Friday June 23, 2023

Its not a ferocious ride at all. There are a few exciting and choppy bits where you do need to be securely positioned, but mostly its a lovely ride down the Athabasca river, viewing areas not possible to access by foot. If you're brave enough you even get a chance to jump in!! We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip and all the guides were such fun. One thing we were unaware of, was that there are no changing rooms, so you have to strip off in the bus to put on the supplied wetsuit. Most people were aware and already had bathing costumes on.

Good activity but not as thrilling as expected

Activity enjoyed by the whole family

(Translated by Google) A thrilling activity for the whole family! My 10 and 13 year old darlings loved it and assured it. Our guide managed our descent very well and gave us great stories. We risk starting over.
