Rafting in Banff for Ages 8 and Up!
You've got energetic and adventurous kids, and we've got a family-friendly adventure for you to take them on! If your kids are between 8-11 years old and weigh over 50 lbs, join our friendly (and hilarious) guides on a trip through class 1-3 waves. The Family Whitewater rafting trip in Banff will let you and your family enjoy a taste of the rapids without bringing our little adventurers on too intense of a ride. Our knowledgeable guides walk you through safety instructions to prepare you for the river's rapids, and will provide you with the equipment needed.
Beginner-Friendly Family Fun
At Hydra River Guides, we want to provide opportunities for all of our guests to enjoy the river, regardless of your family's previous rafting experience. The Family Whitewater trip allows first-timer rafters to have a muted experience of the rapids and feel class 1-3 waves with intermittent periods of calm to recollect.
If you and your family are looking for a more challenging trip, consider the Kicking Horse Classic. Suitable for ages 12+, this family rafting trip in Banff takes you down the Kicking Horse River and over more intense waves. Are you ready to get drenched from the continuous rapids? We know we are!
A Rafting Trip to Remember
Family rafting trips in Banff can turn any vacation into an instant favourite memory. Our witty guides provide comic relief while displaying their years of experience on the waves. Want something to remember this trip by? We have a camera set up along the river to take a photo of your group! Our guides will prepare you for the paparazzi so that you have a fitting photo of your whitewater experience.
