Accommodating Company
Sep. 2023 • Couples
Although we actually didn't go on the tour with this company, they were beyond nice and accommodating. I got sick the day before our trip and left an email in the early hours that morning detailing my symptoms. They graciously refunded us the entire trip despite their 48 hour cancellation policy. The next time we're in Banff and plan to raft, we are definitely going with this company. Amazingly professional. Thank you so much, Hydra River Guides.

Relax and take in your surroundings
We thoroughly enjoyed our canoe ride. Emily, our guide, was amazing. She was able to tell us so much about the flora and fauna and the history. All of the team were so helpful and friendly. We would totally recommend as it gives you a different feel to a hike, with a view from the river.

Awesome time!
Sep. 2023 • Friends
My buddy and I booked a last minute ride with them and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. We had Drew as a guide and he was absolutely amazing. Made everyone in our raft feel very comfortable and we had an excellent time. Would recommend to any one looking for a different type of activity in the mountains.

Great fun!
Sep. 2023 • Solo
The canoe trip was top quality from beginning to end. From Tims fun sense of humour to the amazing views that we saw along the way. Tim did an amazing job at leading the tour, it was smooth and I loved all the facts that he told us. The blue waters that you see are awesome too. Would highly recommend if you’re in Banff 👍🏻

What a fantastic experience on our trip on the Bow River. Emily our guide, was very informative and fun and made the whole experience very special. She provided us with many very interesting topics regarding the nature and wildlife around the river and Banff. We didn’t have chance to see bears, but we saw other wildlife creaturees including Elks and Beavers. We met some lovely people from all over the world. The scenery was amazing, water was calm and with beautiful colors. We are so glad we did this, and it is highly recommended for all ages. If you get ther, ask for Emily🤗❤️. Ewa and Andrzej

Amazing adventure!
We were lucky to raft with Dave, and it was an incredible experience! We felt very safe and confidence with his guidance, and his great sense of humour made us enjoy every single moment there. We enjoyed it that much, that we are going to repeat it during the next days. Thank you all the crew, and especially Dave, to make this experience unforgettable. Highly recommended! :)
