Mother’s Day Sunday May 12th

motherHey! Are you for­get­ting something?

This com­ing Sun­day, May 12th, is Mother’s Day. How about treat­ing your mom, gramma, aunts … all those great women who looked after you …  Well, how about treat­ing them to a fun after­noon of rafting?

Our spe­cially designed, safe, com­fort­able rafts are per­fect for the whole fam­ily, from the very young to the very old.

Make the whole day spe­cial: You’ve got time to go out for break­fast then join us at noon for 2 1/2 hours of care­free fun where we look after all the details. We’ll even take the pic­tures for you.

But book now. The rafts are fill­ing up & it’s look­ing like we’re going to have great weather this weekend.

Just because there’s a lit­tle snow on the ground and maybe even some ice on the river, doesn’t mean we can’t go rafting.

We’re Cana­dian, eh?

And we’re get­ting pretty pumped that the 2013 raft­ing sea­son is approaching.

We’ll keep you posted about open­ing day.

Fun for the Whole Family

Bring the whole fam­ily! Our spe­cially designed rafts offer a safe, com­fort­able ride that any first time rafter will enjoy. Our trips are fun for every­one from tod­dlers to seniors.

You will float along a 16 kilo­me­tre stretch of the Athabasca River, pass­ing through many small sets of rapids and calm stretches. Your National Park Licensed guide will point out the nat­ural and human his­tory of Jasper. For instance, did you know that the Athabasca River is the same route that was used by the “fur traders” many years ago, (David Thomp­son 1811).

We run rain or shine. After all, there’s a good chance you’ll get a lit­tle wet any­ways. If you like wear our com­pli­men­tary yel­low pon­cho & keep it as a sou­venir. Be pre­pared for some laughs and we’ll take care of the rest.

Board our fun shut­tle bus and let the tour begin!

Our buses shut­tle you out to our launch site. Your guided tour begins from the moment you get comfy on the bus. Our trained parks guides will share their in-depth knowl­edge of the parks in an enter­tain­ing, lively style. Before you know it, your bus will pull into the launch site where guides fit you with your raft­ing gear … every­thing but the oars. We do all the row­ing while you do all the enjoying.

We even take photos.

At the end of your trip, your bus takes you back to town. The 2 1/2 hour trip will be some­thing you’ll talk about for years to come.
