Overview

Safety at Wild Water is our #1 priority. RAFTERS MUST MEET MINIMUM AGE AND WEIGHT CRITERIA IN ORDER TO RAFT.
2024 marks Wild Water's 33rd season on the KICKING HORSE RIVER. We take great pride in providing first-class, top-notch rafting experiences for each and every guest. No detail is too small, nor any logistic too challenging.
Whether it be complimentary top-of-the-line gear (cleaned and dried after every use), welcoming and extensive RiverBase amenities (such as heated, indoor change rooms), or our highly professional river rafting crew, Wild Water Adventures has it all.
Under the skillful control of the highly experienced Wild Water guides, rafts expertly maneuver past stunning scenery and through turbulent and challenging waves and rapids.
See you soon on the river!
