Ask and we deliver! Due to popular demand, we're bringing back river rafting for cityscapes but this time bigger and better than ever. Join us for a guided 16.5 km river journey through the heart of Edmonton along the North Saskatchewan River.
From Laurier Park to Capilano Park, this immersive experience flows through the city’s full landscape: from quiet west-end river valley wilderness, to downtown’s iconic skyline and bridges, and finally into the peaceful east-end forest corridors.
