KOOTENAY RIVER RUNNERS REVIEWS


  • “Best whitewater rafting experience”

    Whitewater rafting at its finest. Dean guided us down the river thru the rapids with experience and incredible knowledge. The entire team is professional and keeps safety their number one priority. We will return in early summer next year to do another tour down the river. Thank you, Dean, and I hope you have an adventurous and safe Winter. See you next year.

  • “Rafting the Rockies”

    We had a fantastic time rafting the Kicking Horse in August. Our guide Dean was super knowledgeable and was a delight to raft with. On a river full of operators, I highly recommend going with Kootenay River Runners if you want an awesome time rafting in Golden.

  • Well organized rafting trip with an instructor in every raft. These are rather small rapids, so it’s well suited for families and young kids. The water is cold year round, so wet suits are provided (and necessary) as well. Our guide James was very fun and informative on the area, giving recommendations and keeping us entertained with games during slower periods.
