About Jasper Whitewater Rafting
Jasper Whitewater Rafting is the longest-running rafting company in Jasper National Park, founded in 1971 as a family-owned operation dedicated to sharing the thrill of the Canadian Rockies from the river. Over five decades later, the company remains locally owned and continues to be one of the most trusted names in Jasper adventure tourism.
The outfitter runs three distinct trips across two rivers. On the Athabasca River, guests can choose between a gentle family-friendly float and a moderate Class II rapids run, both ideal for beginners and families with children. For those seeking bigger whitewater, their Sunwapta River trip delivers exciting Class III rapids through a remote, glacier-carved canyon. All trips include wetsuits, splash jackets, and safety equipment, with experienced guides leading every raft.
What makes Jasper Whitewater Rafting stand out is their unmatched heritage on the local rivers — no other outfitter in Jasper has been running trips for this long. Their guides are certified professionals with deep knowledge of the river systems, local wildlife, and the geology of the park. The company's commitment to safety and environmental stewardship has earned them a loyal following among return visitors and locals alike.
