Because I am not the sort of person who thinks it is alright to die while rafting on a river anytime soon, safety was pretty important and I must say that Hydra (in addition to their wonderful flush toilets) took every precaution to ensure the safety of all who choose to raft with them. Safety brief was thorough and pretty... More

This was such an amazing tour! totally workth the money. My boyfriend and I signed up for the zip lining and rafting tour! So good!! you Zip line into the rafting grounds, they feed you a great BBQ and then get about a half hour safety speech and then you sail off. We went the first week of Sept 2012... More

The river rafting experience was a great one - our guide Hanna made it even greater, she was great in giving safety instructions but even better in manouvering the raft through the rocks and the waters. My six year old son loved it for the easy part and then he got off and I went to the end. These guys... More

Hydra River Guides started out explaining safety procedures, plan A's, plan B's, and as they called it plan Z's. Hydra was very organized when handing out gear, with a big group they had everyone taken care of in minutes. As a single traveler I found the river guides did a great job at starting conversation amongst everyone in the raft,... More

Me and the wife went white water rafting on the Kicking Horse River last week. Everything was great. barbeque lunch wasn't bad, safety demonstration and talk seemed comprehensive and thorough but easy to understand. Then the rafting was great - I've never been before and found the combo of grade 3 & 4 rapids really fun. All the staff were... More

This was something my husband wanted to do, and I went along. I'm glad I did! Yan (I think I called him Yam for the first half hour) was an awesome guide. He knew what he was doing in the raft, he had a personality, and don't get me wrong, I love my Aussies and Kiwi's, but he's from Alberta... More

The Hydra River Guides management office (Banff, Alberta) allowed an unauthorized person to charge my credit card for an upgrade on a tour package in August 2012. I learned about the tour upgrade and related charges on the night before a scheduled river rafting trip at their facility on the Kicking Horse River. When I called to complain about the... More

What is there not to like about this place! Aussies all around and an awesome trip! Bought two trips off of steal the deal a few weeks back, sat up front of the raft even though I was terrified but felt safe the whole time. Burgers and camp fires and friendly people all around. Highly recommend this company!

This was my 3rd year rafting with Hydra River Guides, and once again it was great. This year our guide was Jan. He is a great guide, was telling us about the river and a little history an facts about the river and area. Which keeps the tour interesting. -Lunch was good too as always, they had burgers, (Beef, chicken... More
