Why White Water Rafting in Banff?
For over 30 years, Hydra River Guides has been rafting the wild waters with thrill-lovers like you. Surrounded by the beautiful mountains in the famous Canadian Rockies, you're sure to love every moment on the Kicking Horse River. As North America's top destination for rafting on class 1-4 waves, the Kicking Horse River is meant for fun! Our ride crosses the section nicknamed the "goat rapids," where our rafters often catch a glimpse of the many mountain goats that scale the cliffs next to the river. Our trusted guides are some of the most experienced (and most fun) guides on the Kicking Horse River.
Tip: Did you know that we have cameras set up along the river to take your photo? These are available to you after we arrive back at the Hydra base.
Hydra: Your Guides To Making Memories
One of the advantages of rafting in the Rockies is that the rivers are glacier-fed. This means you have a fun way to cool off on those hot summer days! Luckily for us, the water level regularly fluctuates. While this may be intimidating for first-time rafters, it's nothing to worry about! Our team carefully monitors the river's conditions—all it means is that no two rafting trips will be the same.
