Jasper's Fraser River: Class 3+ Whitewater Rafting Adventure

Take on the biggest whitewater in the Jasper area on an exhilarating Class 3+ rafting adventure down the mighty Fraser River. As the only Jasper company licensed to raft the Fraser, we’ll take you into British Columbia, where your river adventure begins with views of Mount Robson—the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Paddle through large rolling rapids, portage around impressive Rearguard Falls, then tackle some of the trip’s biggest whitewater in the lower canyon. No previous rafting experience is required—first-time and experienced rafters alike can work together with their guide to take on the rapids. Finish with a gentler float and an optional swim, and in late summer, keep an eye out for spawning salmon making their way up the Fraser.
