Jasper Raft Tours offers a float trip on the Athabasca River that is suitable for the whole family. Toddlers and grandparents alike can enjoy this safe cruise down the World Heritage Athabasca River and together appreciate the fun of watching others get splashed. Jasper Raft Tours has taken disabled people, ninety seven year olds, people with oxygen tanks, people in wheel chairs, pregnant women…. you name it!!! Please consult your physician to determine whether you can endure a trip which can be over 1 1/2 hours in duration.

Jasper is located in the Canadian Rockies, a location that is known for its unpredictable and quickly changing weather systems. One should be prepared for all types of weather even on the most beautiful summer days. One should also be prepared to get splashed, by the Athabasca waters, as we try to allow everyone to experience the fun of a float trip with our experienced guides. Wetsuits are not provided and they are not necessary for this float trip, but Jasper Raft Tours does provide a plastic rain poncho to protect you from splashes and potential rain showers.

Rivers are rated on a scale of one to six; class I is calm moving water, class VI being Niagara Falls. Relax, the section of the Athabasca River that we raft on is rated as a Class II meaning that there are some sections with rapids that do little more than get your backside wet! Therein lays the fun!

There are restroom facilities at the launch site of the raft trip, but there will be no stops along the river. The only chance for a rest stop is at the end of the trip where there are also restroom facilities.

We provide a float trip that is safe for the whole family, swimmers and non-swimmers alike. We also provide everyone with a personal floatation device.

‍

As with all adventure activities these days, you will be asked to sign a waiver form before you are allowed to participate in the float trip. We have Parent Waiver and General Waiver you can download and bring with you.

‍

Jasper Raft Tours provides rain ponchos for the trip, so rain is no excuse for not rafting. In fact, rafting is one of the few activities that are just as fun on a rainy day in the mountains! However, we do recommend that you dress appropriately for inclement weather. (In other words, don’t wear shorts and a T-shirt when it is cold and rainy.)
