Rent a raft for a flexible 2–4 hour Bow River float
2 to 4 hours
Up to 12 people
PFDs, paddles, safety kit
Rent a fully inflated raft in Calgary and float the Bow River at your own pace. Depending on river flow, plan for about 2 to 4 hours on the water, and keep the rental for the day.
Basic paddling skills are required; if you don’t have paddling experience, let the operator know. Some 8, 10, and 12-person rafts are self-bailing, so your feet and gear may get wet.
Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead of time. No-shows are charged the full price.
You need basic paddling skills before you set off. If you don’t have paddling experience, let the operator know; they will also run you through a safety session before you head down the river.
Most customers stay dry unless they jump in the river. Some 8-, 10-, and 12-person rafts are self-bailing, so your feet and gear may get wet and there may be a few centimetres of water in the bottom of the raft.
Bring sun protection, a beach towel, and rain gear. Pack snacks and sunscreen, and wear sturdy shoes for getting in and out of the raft.
