Typical Daykeyboard_double_arrow_up
* Why Raft with Alpine?


There are other companies that run the Kicking Horse River, so you may be doing your homework. Although each company has their strengths, these are the reasons we think Alpine Rafting offers the best day on the river.

Since 1984, we've guided over 90,000 people down the Kicking Horse River. With this many years in operation comes experience. From our fleet of rafts to our selection of trips: we've spent the last 25 years honing the experience we provide.

FIVE Reasons to Raft with Alpine...

*
Longer Rafting Trip! We begin our day in Yoho National Park, and raft 4 extra kilometres than other companies. For first-time rafters, this means extra time to get comfortable in the raft, learn the paddle strokes and commands from your guide without pressure. Did we also mention that this is one of the most beautiful stretches of the river? We offer the longest day on the River.
*
Best Gear on the Water! We outfit you from head to toe. From our Gore Tex SprayJackets, to Neoprene Boots, Gloves, and Canadian made wetsuits, we've put a lot of thought into your comfort. Our fleet of rafts are cutting edge. Our eye popping candy red rafts and splash jackets make for amazing rafting shots!
*
Another reason to raft with us is the delicious food! As one of the pioneers of rafting on the Kicking Horse River, we have maintained a beautiful riverside BBQ lunch area. Our open concept area boasts plenty of sun and a constant breeze. We are very lucky to have a spacious area to host you and your friends for lunch. We offer the most varied meal options for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans! We also have a timber dining pavilion for your dining comfort.
*
Our Team Rocks! It's true, we're not afraid to say it, You'll have a great day out on the water with our Team.

If you're researching a Whitewater Rafting Company to raft with, here are some questions to ask:

* How long has the company been in business? The longer an outfitter has been in business, the more honed the river experience will be.
* What condition is their river gear in? Look for a company that replaces the River Gear you will be wearing all day on an annual basis. Tears, holes, and faded equipment is not acceptable for your day out on the water.
* How many rivers do they run? When companies run multiple rivers, often their guides are not adequately trained for the river they will be running. Look for companies running one or a couple rivers. That way, you know the guides are experienced on that stretch of water
* What is the minimum age of their guides? This says a lot about the experience level of guide. Look for companies with Guides that are at minimum in their late twenties/early thirties. This will likely ensure adequate life experience and river skills.
