The Guides are brilliant and the rapids are amazing

Fabulous experience! The whole team are amazing, highly skilled and reassuring, I immediately felt safe and at ease. Thanks in particular to Ty for ensuring we were well prepared for the rapids and making the trip so enjoyable. Facilities are top notch with warm and clean changing rooms. The Wild Water Adventures experience on Kicking Horse Pass is brilliant and I highly recommend!

Response from ViatorSeptember 03, 2026

Hello, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you and your wife had such a brilliant time on the Exciter! Josh is an incredible guide, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the rapids, the stories, and the whole experience with the crew. And there’s definitely nothing better than a hot coffee or hot chocolate after a few hours on the Kicking Horse! Thanks again for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have you both back on the river with us again someday! -Abbey & The Wild Water Crew.
