You’re on a short visit to Golden and you have a tight schedule, so that means you won’t have time to do an epic activity like whitewater rafting, right?

WRONG.

This compact half day trip makes it possible to enjoy an exciting whitewater adventure, even if your time in Golden is short and sweet.

The entire journey only takes 3 hours, which means that you can ride the rapids in the afternoon and still get back in time for dinner (with plenty of great stories to tell!)

Feel the glacial spray on your face as you splash, bob and weave through the foamy rapids, the dense pine forests and dramatic canyon walls all around you. This trip may be short, but it’s packed with excitement and includes Class 2, 3 and 4 Rapids in the Middle Canyon section of the Kicking Horse River.

The Details: 

  • Available 7 days a week!
  • A safety briefing will be given prior to getting on the water
  • 12 Kilometres of Rafting
  • Class 2, 3 and 4 rapids

ITINERARY
