Quick Overview
You can whitewater raft on the Athabasca River, but a calmer and more family-friendly experience would be an easy yet scenic float down the Athabasca. With a float tour, you get all the awesome perks of rafting and canoeing, but without all the work and at a leisurely pace while the guides do all the work. Travel the same way that was used by the “fur traders” many years ago. You may even see a moose or bear hanging out by the shore.
The small group rafting float trip takes you down several miles on Class II rapids, which means it’s a very light float. You may get a little wet with splashes, but there is nothing too intense or scary on this tour. This is great for families with very young children and even dogs, as Jasper Raft Tours are dog-friendly!
Guests wishing to bring their dogs along must book the Dog Friendly scheduled trip.
