The Best Whitewater Rafting in British Columbia
The Kicking Horse is only one of many whitewater experiences that make British Columbia one of the best rafting destinations in the world.
Rafting in BC: Simply Inflate & Embark
It’s all about that moment right before the plunge: your heart rate increases and scalp tingles as you drift towards a wild, white maw of water. Your fingers tighten around the paddle and then suddenly you’re launched into a roller coaster of wet joy, bouncing from wave to wave and surrounded by the stunning natural beauty that has made British Columbia famous around the globe.
BC is also world-renowned for its whitewater. From guided rafting trips on the Kicking Horse River near the aptly-named town of Golden to multi-day adventures on the Chilcotin and Babine in the northwest region of the province, there’s something for every type of paddler whether you’re new to the experience or an expert.
To enjoy some particularly playful water, late Spring is the best time to raft because snow melt courses down from the 10 major mountain ranges that span the province and swell its rivers, the largest six being the Columbia, Fraser, Liard, Peace, Skeena and Stikine. Innumerable tributaries branch off of these which means there are literally tens of thousands of kilometer’s for you and your raft to enjoy.
