About Our River Guides - Hydra River Guides

Powered by nature, driven to be the best.

On behalf of our owners, Daryn and Kristen McCutcheon, welcome to one of the best backyards Canada has to offer. 

The Hydra crew boasts some of the most experienced guides on the river. We’re proud to play host and to share our love of the Rockies with our guests! Our team sees long-term employees return each summer, and our guides are at home on the constantly changing Kicking Horse River.

We’re passionate about making the river accessible to rafters of all types and levels of experience. The highlight of our day is watching guests light up after they’ve conquered tricky rapids and seen firsthand just how capable they are! 

At Hydra you raft with us, so get your paddles ready…you’re a part of the team!

In our over 30 years of experience, we’ve consistently held ourselves to the highest standards, taking pride in adopting the newest technology to ensure safety and rafter experience.
