Raft TOUR REVIEWS

Honestly a great time! Booking was flawless, the tour organization was on point, the ride itself was great. Our guide was awesome, professional, safe, light hearted and all around a good time. Definitely recommend. Taking a rafting ride with them!
Kyle Budde
Amazing staff. We had a 4-year old with us that was unable to raft. Jodi and her staff were amazing with splitting our crew into an AM and PM rafting trip so that some of us could remain back with the 4-year old. The staff were all amazing and helpful while the AM half of our group arrived back and our PM group headed out. The rafting trip was amazing and our guides made sure we had a lot of fun. We all really enjoyed this trip!

I looked at reviews of different companies when I booked the rafting package, and I am so glad I chose White Wolf! The entire experience was great with friendly staff and a clean, comfortable facility in Canmore. What made the trip amazing was our guide, Ben. We could not have had a better guide - fun, knowledgeable, safe. Our family of six went, and Ben made sure everyone had a chance to get the type of experience they wanted. I highly recommend White Wolf!

We had an amazing day rafting with White Wolf. Our guide Shane was terrific! The entire experience from getting outfitted with wetsuits, the bus ride, pre paddling instructions, were just the beginning of the fun we had on the water! Stunning mountain views as we paddled. We would highly recommend this rafting trip. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

This was my first time white water rafting, and I had an absolute blast and am hooked!!! I loved that photos were included and that we went back up the river to surf the rapids. Shane, our guide, was super great and knowledgeable. Too bad the other guide Marcus was on the river too (ALLL jokes 😂 Marcus was awesome as well). Can’t say enough good things!
