Overview

Experience Calgary sightseeing from the tranquility of your private raft! “Floating the Bow” is a rite of passage for Calgarians and an experience not to be missed. It’s a great way to safely enjoy the outdoors with family and friends while socially distanced from others, and provides the opportunity to take in the sights of this beautiful city from a completely different vantage point. Choose from solo or dual kayaks, all of which are sturdy enough to dance a jig on!

All safety gear and PFDs are included, so you need only bring yourself and some snacks (and don't forget the sunblock!). No experience is necessary.

What's Included

  • Free parking
  • Lifelong memories :)
  • PFDs, paddles and safety kit
  • Tickets ($9 per person) for our convenient shuttle to the launch point
  • Guides are not required for these tours.

What To Expect

This is the experience that visitors to Calgary can't miss! Rated as Calgary's number one outdoor activity, your private 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12-person raft will be sanitized, inflated, and waiting at your preferred time at the launch point in West Baker Park. You will hop in and enjoy a leisurely float through nature, parks, golf courses, and residential areas as you meander into the heart of Calgary. Enjoy stunning views of the cityscape on this two to four-hour float (depending on river flow) through Calgary's top destinations such as Bowmont Natural Park, Shouldice Park, Edworthy Park, Shaggannapi Golf Course, and Eau Claire Park as you wind your way to your final destination across from bustling Prince's Island Park in the heart of Calgary. The friendly Lazy Day crew will greet you upon your arrival, where you simply disembark from your raft and go on your way!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Self-guided River Rafting Tour in Calgary?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
