Sit back and find your flow on our morning nature floats and stunning evening sunset floats. This captivating adventure in Edmonton and Calgary spans 10 kilometres, guiding guests beneath city bridges, past historical landmarks, and through unique natural encounters along your river. Led by our experienced and certified interpretive guides, you’ll delve into the natural history and geology of the Bow or North Saskatchewan Rivers, both teeming with diverse wildlife, including deer, beavers, numerous bird species, and more. Gain insights into our watershed and its significance in our daily lives while surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Surprisingly, the city’s hustle and bustle will fade away as you immerse yourself in this serene adventure suitable for the whole family, starting from age 6. Our EcoFloat tours in South Calgary along the Bow River and west-central through downtown Edmonton along the North Saskatchewan River last approximately 3 hours, dependent on river conditions.
