Overview

This Sunwapta River Self-Drive Rafting Trip in Jasper begins with participants driving themselves to the launch site, located about 40 minutes south of Jasper townsite. Upon arrival, a waiver must be signed before the trip starts. The rafting portion lasts approximately two hours and fifteen minutes on the glacial-fed Sunwapta River, the only Class III white water river in Jasper National Park. The trip starts with a calm floating section where rafters can practice paddling techniques. The rapids then increase in intensity, culminating in a rapid called The Whopper, which soaks all participants just before the takeout point. Rafts hold six people and are guided by professional guides who provide all necessary rafting equipment, including safety gear. The trip operates in all weather conditions, rain or shine. Participants should wear a bathing suit under their clothes and must be at least 12 years old. Gratuities and souvenir photos are not included. Guests are asked to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure to avoid missing the trip, as late arrivals are not refunded.
