About Rocky Mountain River Guides
Rocky Mountain River Guides has been delivering professional whitewater rafting adventures in Jasper National Park since 1990. Operating from Connaught Drive, the company specialises in guided raft trips on the Athabasca and Sunwapta Rivers, two of the most scenic waterways in the Canadian Rockies.
Their trip menu includes a family-friendly Athabasca River float suitable for children as young as five, a moderate Athabasca River whitewater run with Class II rapids, and an adrenaline-pumping Sunwapta River trip through Class III rapids in a dramatic mountain canyon. All necessary gear — wetsuits, splash jackets, helmets, and booties — is provided, and each raft is led by a certified guide with extensive river experience.
Rocky Mountain River Guides has built a strong reputation for professionalism and safety over more than three decades on the water. Their guides are trained in swiftwater rescue and bring genuine enthusiasm for the park's natural history, pointing out wildlife and explaining the glacial forces that shaped the river valleys. The company's focus on smaller group sizes ensures a more personalised experience compared to larger outfitters, making it a favourite among repeat visitors to Jasper.
