Bow River Float Trip

Watching the Bow River from the shoreline, it’s easy to feel the strength and grace of this lifeline to the heart of Banff National Park. But, it’s another thing entirely to experience the path of the waters for yourself. You’ll feel a connection to the river from the moment you step into the sturdy and comfortable raft that is to be your vessel on a leisurely float trip. As you meander down the river, marvel at the diverse wildlife that call the banks of the river home and get your camera ready for a unique perspective of Tunnel Mountain, the ancient hoodoos and Cascade Mountain.
