2022 marks Wild Water's 31st season on the KICKING HORSE RIVER. We take great pride in providing first-class, top-notch rafting experiences for each and every guest. No detail is too small, nor any logistic too challenging. Whether it be complimentary top-of-the-line gear (cleaned and dried after every use), welcoming and extensive RiverBase amenities (such as heated, indoor change rooms), or our highly professional river rafting crew, Wild Water Adventures has it all.
Under the skillful control of the highly experienced Wild Water guides, rafts expertly maneuver past stunning scenery and through turbulent and challenging waves and rapids.
See you soon on the river!

Our family did the gentle raft ride 26 June 2022. Everyone had a blast. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Very good and detailed safety briefing. The only issue we had is finding the location from Golden can be interesting as there is no sign. Though its marked on the map apparently those traveling from Lake Louise get signs. Glad I checked the night before. 5 stars for the ride, 3-4 stars for the signs.Wild Water Adventures is well organized, they ensured that everyone felt safe and had some great laughs. The Kicking Horse river is glacial cold and a beautiful colour. What a cool way to travel down river with friendly faces. It was an awesome experience, I cant wait to rafting go again!
