Go Vertical: Canyoning in Golden, BC
Before you ride the river waves, explore a hidden world carved right into the mountain rock. Our Golden Canyoning Adventure is a fast-paced, multi-sensory experience hidden right in the local hills.
After a short hike, you’ll gear up and instantly get your heart racing with a 30-meter zipline over the gorge. From there, you will rappel down three gorgeous waterfalls and navigate refreshing, moderate flows. Led by our guides, it’s a fully immersive, vertical exploration of a canyon that 99% of travelers never see.
Go Horizontal: Rafting the Kicking Horse River
Once you’ve conquered the vertical drops, head down the road to tackle the legendary Kicking Horse River with Wild Water Adventures. Located just outside of Golden, their fully-serviced River Base Day Lodge sits right on the edge of Canada’s premier whitewater action.
They offer epic river trips tailored to your preferred splash factor:
The Gentle (Class II – III): A fun, scenic cruise through the beautiful upper valley, ideal for families with kids (ages 8+ & 50lbs).
The Whitewater Exciter (Class IV+): Their most popular half-day trip, plunging you directly into the biggest, continuous big-wave rapids in the Rockies.(ages 12+ & 90lbs)
The Tradition (Class IV+): The ultimate 5-hour river journey, combining wild whitewater with a gourmet, hot BBQ lunch back at the lodge.(ages 12+ & 90lbs)
The Perfect Golden Double-Header
Canyoning is about precision, rappelling, and hidden mountain streams. Rafting is about big-wave momentum and crushing teamwork.
