Lazy day is definitely the best Raft rentals in Calgary. They are a tad more expensive than some of the other Rental places , but they have a way better launch spot. Its a longer float and more scenic than the other guys. Definitely my goto place for Raft rentals.

We had an amazing experience on the river, but one thing spoiled the impression. Be aware, they do not have a return transfer to the station and it would have been ok if we had been informed about this in advance. However, the rafting worth it.

We had an absolutely fantastic day on the river — even if I did come out looking like a tomato by the end of it (sunscreen, people… don’t forget the sunscreen!). From start to finish, this rafting experience was smooth, well organized, and full of laughs. The staff at the pickup location were incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of good vibes. They made it easy to choose the right raft size based on our group — no confusion, just straight-up efficiency with a smile. After checking in, we hopped on the shuttle bus, which was not just a ride, but a comedy show on wheels. The driver kept everyone entertained with family-friendly jokes that had the whole bus chuckling. It definitely set the tone for a relaxed, cheerful day. By the time we hit the water, we were already in vacation mode. The self-guided float down the river was peaceful and scenic, with just enough little twists and turns to keep it interesting. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and because it’s self-guided, you can take things at your own pace. Whether you're chatting with friends, floating quietly, or launching water fights (guilty!), it’s a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. You’ll end up right back where you started, which is super convenient — no backtracking or stress. All in all, it was a great way to unplug and just enjoy some classic summer fun. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a chill, memory-making day outdoors!

These guys are great! Had our 6 person raft ready to go, life jackets included. We had a good float down to their other pickup location downtown, stopping at various beaches along the way. It can take 4 hours if you’re serious and 7-8 hours if you’re stopping everywhere along the way. Love the fact you don’t have to worry about delivering the raft back the start location. Very recommended!

Best rafting experience for individuals and families. It takes 3 to 4 hours from start to end point depending how fast you paddle. Keep drinks and food during rafting to preserve energy. Advanced reservation is suggested as it can be sold out on weekends particularly in summer.
