I was a bit nervous when booking this tour as I've never been rafting before. I booked it for my husband and myself. From the check-in to the end of the trip everything was great. The staff was so helpful at explaining everything. We actually drove ourselves to the Hydra site from Banff, which was great because we had time to stop by and do the lower falls trail at Johnston Canyon on our way to Kicking Horse River (we booked the afternoon river trip). By the time we arrived for the afternoon trip lunch was ready! We had a grilled burger and potato salad, pasta salad, and some brownies all.
Our river guide was Dave O. I can't say enough about how great of a guide he was. He's definitely been doing this for a long time so it made for a fun trip down the river! The water was chilly but the gear they give you was more than enough to keep the body warm. I actually welcomed the splash of cold water. You can't go wrong with booking this trip! I highly recommend it! Thanks so much Hydra for the wonderful experience!

We are visiting Canada from the US. I have a 21 year old son and an 18 year old son. They were so e cited for this adventure and it did not disappoint! Eric was our guide and he made it so easy and fun!!! Afterwards lunch was way more than expected! We had grilled cheeseburgers with saut□ed onions and homemade pickles! We also were served potato salad and pasta salad that was unbelievable!! To top off the meal we had the most delicious brownies! I highly recommend This adventure through Hydra!

Brilliant tour with absoultly brilliant guides..
Worth the long drive. Lovely views and fantastic rapids. Adam the kiwi made our tour.

I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. Water was lower this time of year so the rapids were a bit less intimidating. Kyle was an awesome guide. We always felt comfortable with him. He always talked and kept the boat lively. This was my first time and I will definitely start this as a new obsession. Beautiful, spectacular scenery and great, efficient company to work with. I would suggest driving to Hydra if you have a rental car. The transportation option can be a bit slower with more stops. You are so tired at the end of the day you just want to get back to your hotel. Organized, awesome, friendly company.

Kyle was amazing and made me feel safe throughout the day. Travel with husband and 19 and 21 year olds. All loved the tour

Fantastic trip. A must do! Great staff from being picked up to the raft tour and even bbq. Highly recommended

The rafting itself was excellent and a lot of attention paid to safety. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. However after the rafting had finished we over 2 hours of travelling back still cold with wet hair in a bus without any sort of heating. We were freezing!!
I would request that the organisers fix the heating in their bus and to advise everyone to take lots of warm clothes to wear afterwards.

An absolutely fantastic trip. Our guide Anthea was so funny, she had us in stitches. I was a bit concerned because Anthea is tiny but WOW, she could make that raft do everything she wanted it to! The lunch was great cheese burger and potato salad. The safety induction was very professional and the whole trip was one of the highlights of our Trans Canada holiday. There are a lot of rafting companies in the area but you really should give Hydra a go - they are terrific!

Very worthwhile trip. Wish the water levels were a little higher. Great guide and staff. Lunch was good too.

This tour was amazing!
