Icebreakers!

We’re num­ber one!

It’s offi­cial. Raft­ing sea­son has begun with Jasper Raft Tours claim­ing the first raft tour of 2013.

This after­noon, we’re run­ning a Famil­iar­iza­tion Trip for our enthu­si­as­tic tourism work­ers, local tour oper­a­tors and guides. We couldn’t have asked for bet­ter weather. It’s sunny and warm. Yes­ter­day the rain helped pump up the water lev­els. That together with the early melt will make for an awe­some run today head­ing out from Alpine Vil­lage and land­ing at Old Fort Point.

Join us for our first pub­lic trips on April 29th. Book here to reserve your spot.

What does it take to Be A Raft Guide?

Swiftwater TrainingJasper Raft Tours are designed for every­one. Out spe­cially designed rafts & trips suit all rafters, from the expe­ri­enced to the novice, from the very young to the very old, from dis­abled peo­ple, ninety seven year olds, peo­ple with oxy­gen tanks, peo­ple in wheel chairs, preg­nant women…. you name it!

Raft Guide Training

Swiftwater TrainingBut your safety and sat­is­fac­tion isn’t just about safe rafts on a rel­a­tively mild adventure.

Our guides are amaz­ing to begin with: great with peo­ple, won­der­fully humor­ous, friendly, and, if that isn’t enough, we run them through the best train­ing raft guides can get.

Res­cue Canada Instruction

Swiftwater TrainingWe hire Res­cue Canada’s Senior Mas­ter Instruc­tors to train our guides in Swift­wa­ter Res­cue & Train­ing.

Swiftwater TrainingOur guides learn the lat­est skills for water safety. They know how to read the water and avoid prob­lems. But, should they ever need to respond to any issue, they are all fully prepared.

We take our jobs seriously.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a lot of laughs & fun when we’re out there splash­ing through the waves with you!

It’s pretty rare to find peo­ple as pas­sion­ate about their work as our raft guides. Every year, our guides train and com­pete in the Jasper  Raft­ing Pentathlon.

This might be an infor­mal event but you wouldn’t know it to watch the fierce drive in the com­peti­tors. And, in 2010, Jasper Raft Tours ruled com­ing out ahead of all the other Jasper raft com­pa­nies and win­ning the hon­our of dis­play­ing the Mark Oddy Memo­r­ial Golden Paddle.
