Heli rafting innovation brings access back to the Lower Canyon

Heli rafting the Kicking Horse river in Golden BC

Glacier Raft Company has teamed up with Alpine Helicopters and Wet 'n' Wild to combine two amazing experiences in one by flying clients into the now inaccessible Lower Canyon of the Kicking Horse river where the biggest whitewater rapids are found.

“We had to go way outside the box on this one,” said Ryan Johannesen, Glacier’s owner. “When the idea first came up, we thought it would be unaffordable, undoable. But for $99 extra, you get a heli flight up the canyon, over the whitewater you’ll come back down. The pilots like it and we think it’s pretty cool,” said Johannesen.

The heli trips will run on weekends, and possibly Wednesday if demand warrants, starting on the Canada Day weekend.
