Where do your tours run?
We take our guests on a 1.5 hour float trip down the Bow River (Calgary’s original highway) through Calgary’s downtown core. The same river used by explorer’s and fur traders, James Gaddy and David Thompson. We raft under some of Calgary’s historic bridges and some of more recently built modern bridges. Calgary’s downtown core has unique buildings both old and new that we can see from the river, which gives you different perspective than when you are driving on the road. Eau Clare Park, Princess Island Park, East Village and The Calgary Zoo can also be viewed from the raft while on the river.
