1.5 hour Scenic Nature Float in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Overview
Big mountain views, cool glacial waters, forests, valleys and wildlife: all from the perspective of the river. Great for all ages and perfect for first time rafters, Canmore Raft Tours offers two family friendly river floats leaving right from downtown Canmore. The 1.5hr (round trip) "Townie" leaves five times daily at 10:00am, 12:00pm, 2:00pm, 4:00pm and 6:00pm from the Canmore Boat Launch, which is only a few minute walk from the shops and restaurants downtown. We are Canmore's only locally owned and family operated float company!

What To Expect
Big mountain views, glacial waters, beautiful spruce and pine shorelines and ample opportunities to catch a glimpse or two of some wildlife, are just a few of the highlights that our Townie Float offer our guests. Tie that in with a fully guided experience from one of our interpretive guides and this makes for the perfect outing for everyone. This gentle 1.5-hr (round trip) float starts downtown Canmore, only a few minutes away from the local pubs, restaurants, shops and galleries, and only a hop, skip and a jump from most hotels and bed and breakfasts.
