The Rapids
Our trips cover waves in classes 1-4 for optimal laughter and smiles. Let’s quickly go over the classes of waves:
- Class 1 = Calm moving water.
- Class 2 = Beginner. May experience some rocks and waves.
- Class 3 = Intermediate. More rocks and bigger waves.
- Class 4 = Advanced. Long rapids, large waves.
Our Family Whitewater trip is perfect for kids over the age of 8 who are growing adrenaline junkies! We will conquer class 1-3 waves on this family-friendly adventure and create memories that will last a lifetime. Or, if you have older kids or are looking for a more intense white water rafting experience, the Kicking Horse Classic is perfect for you. With class 1-4 rapids, you’ll get the thrill of riding over the best of Banff’s waves.
Wildlife, Scenery, and Things to Do
Keep your eyes peeled (when you aren’t focused on the rapids) for native Canadian wildlife on the banks surrounding you. You’ll be racing through gorgeous mountains with beautiful foliage on either side of the river. White water rafting in Banff means you’ll get excellent rapids with incredible scenery. Since Banff is located in a national park, you have a higher likelihood of seeing wildlife such as bears, moose, elk and more that you might not get the opportunity to see elsewhere. Who knows what furry little creatures you might see out there! Plus, the town of Banff has so many things to do: try our classic beaver tails, hike the mountains to a beautiful lake, and so much more. There’s never a dull moment in Banff!
