Who’s ready to grab your paddle, zip up your life jacket (safety first!), and hit the water? We are! Hydra River Guides is excited to announce that our 2018 rafting season is officially open! We’ve been guiding thousands of guests down the Kicking Horse River for over 30 years, helping them experience thrills, immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area, and make wild memories the whole gang to share around our ultra-exclusive River Base. Whether you’re looking to make a splash during your first ever rafting adventure (welcome!), or a seasoned veteran (welcome back!), Hydra has a variety of trips suitable for rafters all of ages and experience levels.
The Hydra Difference
There’s no denying that there is a wide selection of rafting companies located close to Banff and Golden, BC (located roughly 1.25 hours away from Banff). What sets Hydra apart? Well, with over three decades on the river, we’ve striven to earn our reputation for excellence, both in and out of the water. Our head guide has been with us for over 25 years, and our entire crew takes rafter safety seriously, meaning that you’ll receive careful instruction before your paddles hit the water.
Kick back in luxury
One of biggest difference between Hydra and our fellow rafting guides? Our private River Base, featuring six acres of land, is located directly on the banks of the Kicking Horse, meaning you don’t lose any time getting to and from a launch site. Once you’re done getting wet and wild, you can warm up in our showers, change into dry clothes in change rooms, and enjoy one of our infamous BBQ lunches (included with many of our trips), all while taking in the sereneness of the Rockies.
Looking to kick off the warmer months with a splash? Join Hydra River guides on an epic rafting adventure you’ll never forget. Book now or contact us today to learn more!
