Whitewater Rafting on the Kicking Horse River
Fed by glaciers high in the Rockies and flowing westward into nearby British Columbia, the Kicking Horse River holds such historical and ecological importance that it’s designated a Canadian Heritage River.
The twists and turns of the frothing river bring amazement, glee and plenty of waves as they unfold before you on a whitewater rafting tour. Give in to the infectious grin of your experienced rafting guide as they lead you down sections of the river as diverse as the surroundings, from braided channels to adrenaline-pumping rapids.
