Join Edmonton's Official River Guides as they take you on a safe, fun, and personalized raft experience down the North Saskatchewan River right through the heart of Edmonton.

Your 3.5-hour EcoFloat takes guests on a 12.5km tour under nine city bridges from the Laurier Park Boat launch in Edmonton's west end to the Dawson Park boat launch, just east of downtown.

After you float under Edmonton’s historic High-Level Bridge, you’ll stop for a break under the spectacular Walterdale bridge!

Embark on a journey of discovery with our guides as you learn about the fascinating history of the city, river and the surrounding area.

But it's not just about entertainment - you'll also learn about the science behind our watershed and gain a deeper understanding of how it supports our daily lives. As you navigate the river's currents, you'll discover how our dedicated stewards work tirelessly to safeguard our most precious resource - our drinking water.

Prepare for an inspiring and educational experience that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for this vital natural wonder.
