What visitors say
Lazy Day Raft Rentals sets people up for easy floats on the Bow River through Calgary, and reviewers love seeing the city from the water. The float is described as calm and relaxing rather than a whitewater trip, and one reviewer said it runs significantly longer than competitors' routes.
The operation gets consistent praise for being organised. Booking is simple, check-in is quick if you complete waivers beforehand, and staff give a clear safety briefing. Many renters use the shuttle, which takes the hassle out of parking and getting back to your car, and one mentioned a free parking pass at the take-out. Rafts are called clean, well maintained and fully equipped.
Groups of friends, families with kids and large company outings all report good days, including one group of more than 50 staff. Kayaks are also available, and doggy life jackets mean dogs can come along.
The main thing to know is that the river sets the schedule. When the Bow runs high, trips can be moved, and early in the season the company may only operate on weekends. Reviewers say the team gave plenty of notice and was flexible about rebooking.
