Why We Love This Unique Experience
Experience Calgary sightseeing from the tranquility of a private raft! “Floating the Bow” is a rite of passage for Calgarians and an experience not to be missed. Enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends while staying safely socially distanced. This unique adventure provides the chance to take in the sights of the city from an entirely different vantage point, whether you're navigating solo or sharing a dual kayak. All safety gear and personal flotation devices are included, so there's no need to worry—just bring yourself and a few snacks (and don’t forget the sunblock!). No prior experience is needed, making it perfect for everyone.
Start the journey at the West Baker Park Boat Ramp, where sanitized, private rafts are inflated and ready for adventure at your chosen time. The float lasts between two to four hours, depending on river flow, allowing ample time to meander through nature, parks, and residential areas en route to the heart of Calgary. As the gentle current guides the raft, marvel at stunning views of the cityscape and pass by key destinations, such as Bowmont Natural Park, Shouldice Park, Edworthy Park, and Eau Claire Park. At the final destination, simply disembark by Prince’s Island Park where friendly crew members await to assist with your transition back to land.
This private self-guided river rafting tour makes a fantastic gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or just to treat someone special. Create lasting memories while enjoying one of Calgary's top outdoor activities, perfect for adventurers of all ages. Experience the stunning beauty of the Bow River and give the gift of adventure and relaxation all in one.
