Rafting the Kicking Horse River.

This rafting trip, covering a distance of 22 km, offers the wildest whitewater ride in the BC rockies.  The Kicking Horse river drops about 50feet every km and we are in for the thrills and chills along the way.

The trip starts at our Kicking Horse River Basecamp located just west of Yoho National Park Boundary, 24 km east of Golden. We offer rafting trips every day at 12pm and also at 9am on Saturdays.

We raft on 3 different rivers offering the perfect white water rafting experience for any outdoors adventurer. Whether you are looking for a fun filled rafting trip on the Kootenay River near Radium BC; or a short but sweet, exciting rafting adventure on the Toby Creek in Panorama BC, or a high-adventure, adrenalin pumping, white water rafting challenge on the Kicking Horse River near Golden, BC, we have the perfect trip for you and your family.
