Wild Water Adventures

Wild Water Adventures in Canmore, in the Canadian Rockies, offers guided whitewater rafting with gear included for an easy, high-energy day on the river. Rated on TripAdvisor as the number one activity in the Canadian Rockies, this outfitter runs trips on the Kicking Horse River near Lake Louise, featuring fun Class II/III rapids and more challenging Class IV runs for thrill seekers. Guests only need to bring a bathing suit and towel, as top-quality wetsuits, neoprene booties and gloves, spray jackets, life jackets, and helmets are provided. The dedicated river base features heated change rooms and spacious covered decks overlooking the river and surrounding mountains. After the adventure, guests refuel with fresh baked treats, fruit, and hot and cold beverages. No previous rafting experience is required, and trips depart daily from mid-May through mid-September.
