Glacier is Golden’s original rafting company — small, local, and family-run. Safety is our top priority, and our goal is simple: to give you a white water rafting experience you’ll relive long after you leave.

About glacier raft company
For over four decades, Glacier Raft Company has been introducing adventurers from around the world to the thrill and beauty of the Kicking Horse River and the stunning waterways around Golden, BC.
What started in 1982 as a single raft on a wild stretch of river has grown into one of BC’s most trusted and celebrated rafting operations. Over the years, thousands of guests have paddled with us, laughed with us, and left with stories they’ll be telling for years.
At Glacier, we believe a rafting trip is more than just time on the water. It’s about the camaraderie in the boat, the scenery around every bend, and that shared rush when you make it through a rapid together. It’s the mix of adrenaline, nature, and connection that keeps people coming back year after year.
