Jasper: Athabasca Canyon Class II White-Water Rafting Tour
Make your way to a departure point in downtown Jasper, where you’ll board a bus for the trip to Athabasca Falls. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes for a quick change to a wetsuit, then join the river guide for a briefing on rafting technique and safety. Grab a paddle and climb into a six-passenger white-water raft, then leave the shore with the thundering sounds of Athabasca Falls just behind you. The guide will steer you into the current as you paddle into a channel between the high rock walls of Athabasca Canyon. You’ll take on a series of fun, exciting Class II rapids, then the river will flatten out for the relaxing final stretch. After a couple hours on the water, the guide will steer you back to shore for the return trip to Jasper, where this tour concludes. Please note: Wetsuits, neoprene booties, and paddle jackets will be provided, as you’re sure to get wet while splashing through the rapids. Wear a swimsuit and bring dry clothes and a towel, as well as wool socks and a warm, post-paddle jacket for cooler days.
