Travel Itinerary
On this exciting Class 3+ whitewater adventure, you will be transported by bus from Jasper to our launching point near Mount Robson.
Your guide will provide the necessary technical equipment including paddles, wetsuits, neoprene booties, paddle jackets and helmets. Being prepared with your swimsuit on under your clothes allows you to be suited up and ready for the river in record time
After a short instruction/safety briefing in the shadow of Mount Robson, your highly experienced, certified river guide will launch your raft into the river and expertly maneuver it downriver through sections of turbulent rapids and swirling eddies.
About mid-way downriver, you'll pull-in to the shore for a short land portage around the impressive Rearguard Falls. Jumping back on board your raft at the base of the falls, you'll continue through more sections of whitewater, passing steep canyon walls while surrounded by a backdrop of spectacular Canadian Rockies scenery. Be sure to keep an eye out for the abundant wildlife and seasonal spawning salmon along the way.
The total round-trip time is 5 hours which includes 2 hours of rafting (with a short portage), instruction/safety briefing and bus transfers to/from Jasper. This tour takes you down Class-3 rapids, which are considered intermediate, making this an exciting, wet and adrenaline-producing trip for all experience levels. Rafters must be 12 years of age or older and weight at least 90 lbs (41 kgs).
If you're seeking fun and adventure while visiting Jasper, you'll definitely want to book this whitewater rafting trip down the Fraser River.
