Head Guide

’’ I started my raft / Safety Kayaking career on the Ottawa River in '88, moved to Golden BC to work on the Kicking Horse in '92 and still think it is a great place to call home. I have been working with Hydra since '98 and look forward to getting into the lower canyon every season! I spend my winters as an ACMG Ski Guide Catskiing and Touring in the Selkirk Mountains.’’

’’ I am the Ginger Ninja Canadian who spends his winters in NZ. I'm a keen kayaker and raft all year round - loving to share the joy of white water with guests. I also like creative writing and poetry - look out, I''ll do my best to charm my way to your heart!’’

’’ I am form Australia originally, now I spend my summers rafting and mountain biking. Having the opportunity to raft the kicking horse this summer is amazing. I look forward to sharing the incredible experience with all of you that come along. ’’

Reanna

Guide

’’ I am originally from Ontario but happy to call BC my home for the past 5 years. I am stoked on all things outdoors and enjoy white water kayaking, backpacking and canoeing in the summer and spend the majority of my winters snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains! If you are looking to shred some of the sickest white water in BC with a rad crew, look no further! See ya on the river! ’’

’’ Bio coming soon.’’

Tye

’’ I am one of Hydra’s rookies this year! I am looking forward to learning from the rafting pros we have here at Hydra. My love for whitewater sports stems from always being close to the water growing up, and going on many rafting adventures with my family. My goal for this season is to share my passion for rafting with those who are lucky enough to come and enjoy the powerful water and breathtaking scenery of the Kicking Horse River!’’

Jaro

’’ I am originally from Czech Rep. I Started Rafting in Europe in 98. In 2010 moved to BC and after tasting what BC had to offer now I call it home. In winter I am guiding for several Cat and Heli Ski operations. For 2017 season I am looking forward to working for Hydra River Guides again.’’

Kayley

Guide

’’ Originally from Saskatchewan but now call BC my forever home. I first kayaked 6 years ago and now I am hooked on whitewater adventures. I like to spend my days off searching for new waterfalls I have never been to and eating pizza.’’
