Have the adventure of a lifetime as you fly down the mighty Fraser River during this guided whitewater rafting tour in Jasper National Park!

Whitewater rafting is an exhilarating sport where you get to battle fierce river currents and get tossed through roaring rapids at incredible speeds, like a naturally occurring rollercoaster ride, and there is no better place to do so than in the majestic surroundings of Jasper National Park!

Here, on the mighty Fraser, you will get to test your mettle against the river whilst taking in the breathtaking views of snow capped mountains and lush forest that surround you during your Jasper rafting tour. You might even get to spot spawning salmon heading upriver and Jasper’s other wildlife such as bald eagles and bears! The best part is that you don’t need any previous rafting experience to participate in tackling these Class 3 rapids – your expert licensed guide will deftly maneuver the raft and make sure you are well briefed before and during the rafting tour so that you can focus on having fun rafting in Jasper!

Midway through the rafting run down Fraser River, you will get out of the water for a short portage around the beautiful Rearguard Falls, allowing you to stretch your legs and take in the views from land. Once you get back onto the water in the lower canyon section, you will experience some of the best whitewater rapids that Canada has to offer! At the end of the whitewater sections there will be an area of calm water where you will have the option to take a dip and drink in the atmosphere of Jasper National Park before your Jasper rafting adventure comes to an end.
