Descripción General If you’re an adventure lover, there’s no better way to get your adrenaline pumping than riding big waves. Dive into this thrilling Alberta rafting experience and let the foamy rapids take you swiftly through the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Surrounded by shale cliffs, the Bow River thunders through Horseshoe Canyon. Fully equipped in neoprene and brimming with excitement, you’ll surge through the powerful rapids. During the quieter stretches, you can look up and see large birds of prey soaring above. You might even try cliff jumping if you’re feeling daring.

This adventure features a moderate intensity level, with predominantly class 3 and 4 rapids. You’ll encounter three major rapids that will get your heart racing. The trip ends with a calm and relaxing stretch of class 1 and 2 rapids, perfect for splashing around and enjoying the scenery. At the end of the season, as water levels typically drop, the final section becomes a class 3+ or 3, adding even more excitement.

Many Hollywood movies have been filmed in the spectacular geology of Horseshoe Canyon, and your guide will share interesting stories about these productions during the tour.

This Alberta rafting trip is suitable for anyone with an adventurous spirit, even if you have no previous rafting experience. You’ll learn everything you need to know from our professional rafting guides, who will ensure you have a safe and fun trip.
