NEW! Catrafting

Catrafting is a new product we are pleased to offer for Summer '09!

  • Catrafting - Ultimate Whitewater $125 Per Person
  • Catrafting - Kicking Horse River Challenge $159 Per Person

What is Catrafting? Catrafting, simply put, is an inflatable craft with two pontoons. The two pontoons are held together with an aluminum frame. The floor of a catraft is unique, as it is made of mesh. This allows the waves to not only saturate the front and sides of the raft, but also the floor! A cataraft is a stable craft. The Alpine Team spent time 'researching' the catraft with many, many happy 'test cases'. We found the catraft to be an ideal craft for the big waters of the Kicking Horse, and a great compliment to our current fleet. 

 How do we sign up for catrafting? The easiest way to book catrafting is the book online, below:  

Catrafting is best suited to: 

  • First-time Rafters as well as experienced Rafters. Catrafters must be 16 years & up.
  • Those who want to experience something a little different than regular rafting
  • Stags/Stagettes
  • Corporate Groups
