What you can expect

  • Experience the thrill of whitewater rafting on the Sunwapta River in Jasper National Park. Meet us at a designated parking area, located on the Icefield Parkway, halfway between the Columbia Icefield and the Jasper townsite. This is where our bus will meet you to begin your journey.

    Hone your paddling skills at the beginning before it gets wet and wild. No experience is required for this thrilling whitewater adventure. After grand views of the Endless Chain mountain range, your journey ends with a full glacial facial from The Whopper - a locally renowned wave.

    Tackle the swirling whitewater currents with your guide, and watch the riverbanks for sightings of native wildlife living within the Jasper National Park.

    After an exhilarating river trip, we deliver you back to your car.

    Digital photos are available for purchase immediately after the trip
