We just came back from Banff/Lake Louis and Jasper. There are so many white water rafting companies to choose from. I honestly don't think one is much better than the other. We went with a comp. called Hydra and had a great time!!! It depends on what type of trip/class of white water you want and the cost you want to spend. Ours was from 8 - 3ish and it included lunch and the trip was 90 canadian. It was alot of fun down the Kicking Horse River - class 1 - 4 all in the same trip. Good luck.

i was just checking this out yesterday for my august trip. there is a one day one on the kicking house river that sounds decent. all the prices seemed to be within $10-15 of each other - around $90/day. have fun. don't expect too much...by august the water will be fairly low.<BR>rafting.ca<BR>wildwater.com<BR>raftbanff.c om<BR>raf­tadventures.com<BR>miragetoursc.com

Just returned from the Canadian Rockies, and ended up white water rafting in Jasper with Maligne Water Tours - it was great! Level 3, and about 50 minutes of rafting time. <BR><BR>My advice to anyone looking to do the white water rafting is to consider the amount of travel time vs raft time - some of the tours cost the same, but you end up on a bus for several hours - don't forget about the amount of time to change into wet suits and learn safety instructions!
