Since the mid 70’s, Kootenay River Runners has been introducing adventurous travelers to the delights of  whitewater rafting in British Columbia. We’ve guided over 250,000 rafting guests down the Kicking Horse River, Kootenay River, Columbia River and Toby Creek. These rivers carve their way through some of the most impressive mountain landscapes in the B.C.Canadian Rockies. Whether your interests are challenging whitewater rafting, family rafting, or Voyageur Canoe Trips, each river offers a unique rafting experience.
          Our Kicking Horse River base camp - complete with hot showers! - is based in Golden while our Toby Creek base camp is conveniently located at Panorama Mountain Resort. The Kootenay River Runners head office is located in Radium Hot Springs, B.C.  All of our rafting trips are within easy driving distances from Calgary, Banff, Lake Louise, Golden, Fairmont Hot Springs, Panorama and Radium Hot Springs. We're also just a few hours north of the U.S. border.
          We consider it our privilege to take our guests out on whitewater rafting and canoeing trips.  On all four of the rivers we operate on, we have river professionals who are dedicated to "their" river.  Since we have the ability to choose a river that suits the purpose of your group’s adventure, Kootenay River Runner’s staff will work hard to help you pick the perfect trip.  We want your crew to experience our river rafting adventures and to discover why BC Whitewater rafting is so exceptional.
          Just as we expect great value on trips while on vacation - we understand you have the same expectation of your money being well spent. This fact drives our company to provide the best service and options for you.  On behalf of the staff here at Kootenay River Runners, we look forward to meeting you all!  Please note: even though our rivers are in BC we're on the same time as Alberta - Mountain Standard Time.
