3. Kananaskis Surf Trip – Ride the River Like a Pro

Best for: New and experienced rafters, adventurous spirits, those looking to try something different
 

Highlights:

  • Class II-III rapids
  • Play-focused rafting; surfing waves – getting a much vertical as possible
  • A twist on your average whitewater adventure
  • Afternoon departure

The Kananaskis Surf Trip is all about playing with the river. On this tour, you’ll punch through the rapid.  Then, you turn the raft around and paddle back up the river.  With precision skills from your guide and the power of the paddle strokes, you catch the sweet point of the flow. You get down and hold on to ride or “surf” the current for as long as possible. The more vertical your raft, the sweeter the surf.

Perfect for adventurous guests looking for something beyond the traditional tour.

Ready to ditch the raft and put yourself right into the action? Riverboarding is one of the most unique and exciting ways to experience whitewater. You’ll lie on a specially designed board and ride the rapids face-first – with full gear provided and expert instruction along the way, of course.

It’s a high-adrenaline, full-contact way to connect with the river — perfect for those who want something truly different. This is physically demanding and all participants need to be strong swimmers and comfortable in moving water.
