This four-hour rafting trip follows the Illecillewaet River near Mount Revelstoke National Park in British Columbia. The river features Class II and III rapids, offering a mix of calm sections and more active whitewater suited for families, beginners, and experienced rafters. The tour begins in downtown Revelstoke where guests meet in the Regent Hotel lobby to complete waivers and get fitted with wetsuits, splash tops, and other necessary gear, including helmets and life jackets. After gearing up, a bus transports participants through Rogers Pass to the river access point below Albert Canyon. Before entering the water, guides provide a safety briefing and instructions. The rafting portion lasts about two to two and a half hours, covering up to 25 kilometers of river with views of snowcapped peaks, glaciers, and parts of Canada’s only inland rainforest. Wildlife such as river otters, bears, deer, moose, and various birds may be seen along the route. The trip ends with a gentle float through the Selkirk Range scenery. At the take-out point, rafters enjoy light snacks while the guides load equipment. The return bus ride brings everyone back to the Regent Hotel, where guests can change clothes, relax in the hotel hot tub, or view a slideshow of photos taken during the trip. Souvenirs and meals at the nearby River City Pub are available but not included. The tour includes round-trip transportation, a professional guide, all rafting equipment, and a photo service.
