Meet Our Rafting Family

How we got started

our history

Over 50 Years of Experience

Founded in 1971, 2021 marks our 50th Anniversary as a locally owned and operated Jasper business. 

Staff and equipment may have changed over 50 years, but the company’s love of sharing our mountain home from the unique perspective of the river has continued to flow and grow with decades of experience.
