We were a party of 9 with 5 teenage kids. Our Guide Chris was an excellent instructor and made us feel at ease even with the perceived dangers of WW Rafting. Cliff Jumping was the highlight of our tour, Chris and his team made sure we were safe and were having lot of fun. (They did have to throw a... More

This was our first experience with rafting and Chinook rafting made the experience outstanding! We had an amazing time. AJ, our guide, made our ride safe and exciting. I recommend this adventure to everyone.

I was a bit nervous about the idea of rafting. Over 60 and with minor back problems I'd made excuses to myself to not try it. But it was SO MUCH FUN! Yes, I got wet and the water was cold, but Chinook provided wetsuits and spray jackets for all, so getting wet was part of the fun. Once on... More

We looked for a rafting option that fits our kids age (4,9,13). Chinook had a good fit with their basic rafting tour. Some excitement but really not too much for the age. Arthur was so good with the kids and was informative and fun for all the group. Little expensive, but nice experience.

Our rafting trip this last August was amazingly fun and made all the better by our great guide A.J., who not only got us all down the river safely but did it with 8 kids in the boat and only 4 adults. The kids ranged in age from 5 to 15 and everyone loved it. We highly recommend this company... More

Chinook Rafting was a very fun experience. I had been white water rafting before but I was the only one in our raft that had and our Instructor AJ taught us all very well and it ended up being a blast. I would recommend this for any sort of trip whether it be with friends, family or as a couple.

We found a deal online with Chinook Rafting and thought we would try it. We were kind of skeptical at first because of the facilities but it actually turned out better than we expected. As first time rafters, we were really lucky to get AJ as our guide! He was quite knowledgable, friendly (and not a bad looking) guy! He... More

The driver, who was also our photographer, was very informative and friendly. The food that was included was excellent. The guides were informative, fun and safe. Great for families or work excursions. Our guide, Ben was a lot of fun and made the trip really awesome!

Had an amazing time with the chinook rafting team on the kananaskis river. We had AJ as our raft leader and he honestly made it for all of us. In our raft we had two children and he made it as exciting for them as he did for the adults. Very professional and a genuine guy. Would recommend it to... More
