Lazy Day Raft Rentals Is Growing into Lazy Day Adventures
By the Lazy Day Adventures team | October 20, 2026
For nearly 20 years, the name Lazy Day has been connected with relaxing summer days on Calgary’s Bow River. Since 2007, family-run Lazy Day Raft Rentals has helped families, friends, visitors, and Calgarians enjoy self-guided Bow River floats and experience the city from a different perspective.
The river will always be part of who we are. It is where our story began and where we learned that a meaningful experience does not need to feel rushed or complicated.
Today, that story is growing.
Lazy Day Raft Rentals is becoming part of Lazy Day Adventures, a Calgary experience brand bringing together memorable activities on the river, on the ice, and beyond.
Lazy Day Raft Rentals is not disappearing. It will continue as our seasonal Bow River experience within Lazy Day Adventures, alongside Lazy Day Wellness and Icons on Ice.
Why Is Lazy Day Growing?
A Bow River float offers something that can be difficult to find in everyday life: time to slow down, breathe, laugh, and be present with the people around you.
Over the years, we realized that this feeling did not have to be limited to one activity or one season.
Lazy Day Adventures grew from the idea that people are looking for more than something to do. They are looking for experiences that help them connect, discover something new, and create memories together.
Today, Lazy Day Adventures welcomes more than 25,000 guests each year. Lazy Day Raft Rentals holds a 4.9-star rating on both Tripadvisor (927 reviews) and Google (more than 1,500 reviews), and has earned Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice recognition. In 2026, we were honoured to be selected to work with Tourism Calgary to develop one of 12 Blue Sky Experiences. Now, we are bringing that same commitment to experience, hospitality, and fun beyond the river.
Our expanded brand allows us to offer different Calgary experiences throughout the seasons while carrying forward the welcoming spirit that began on the Bow River.
Lazy Day Rafting (Lazy Day Raft Rentals)
Lazy Day Rafting, still known as Lazy Day Raft Rentals, remains the heart of our summer story.
Guests can enjoy relaxing, self-guided Bow River floats in rafts, kayaks, packrafts, and SuperTubes. The experience is designed for families, friends, couples, visitors, and groups looking for a memorable way to enjoy Calgary from the water.
Our rafting experience operates seasonally, with dates and availability depending on weather and river conditions.
Lazy Day Wellness
Lazy Day Wellness creates intentional opportunities to pause, rest, and reconnect.
Experiences include floating sound baths, immersive sound and meditation sessions, and private wellness events. Each experience is thoughtfully designed to offer a comfortable environment where guests can step away from the pace of everyday life.
No previous meditation or sound bath experience is required. Guests can simply arrive, settle in, and enjoy the moment.
Icons on Ice: The Calgary Curling Experience
Icons on Ice brings guests onto the ice for a hands-on Calgary curling experience that celebrates one of Canada’s most beloved sports and the city’s Olympic history.
Designed for beginners, the experience combines curling stories, safety guidance, introductory instruction, and opportunities to practise essential skills before participating in a friendly mini-game.
Icons on Ice is not simply a curling lesson. It is an interactive way for visitors, residents, corporate teams, families, and groups to experience one of Canada’s most recognizable sports.
Most experiences are hosted at the Calgary Curling Club. No previous curling experience is needed.
Calgary Experiences Across the Seasons
Calgary changes with every season, and each one creates a different way to experience the city.
Summer brings relaxing days on the Bow River. The cooler months create opportunities to step onto the curling ice, discover Calgary’s sporting history, or make space for rest through an immersive wellness experience.
Each Lazy Day experience follows its own schedule, location, and availability. Guests should visit the individual experience page for current dates and booking information.
Group Experiences
Planning something for a team, family, or celebration? Each experience offers customizable options for private groups and special events:
- Rafting groups: team-building and retreats on the Bow River.
- Icons on Ice groups: curling experiences for corporate teams and private groups.
- Wellness groups and private sessions: private and group wellness experiences.
What Is Staying the Same?
Although our name is growing, the purpose behind Lazy Day remains the same.
We want our experiences to feel welcoming, thoughtfully planned, and approachable, especially for guests trying something for the first time.
Whether you join us on the river, in a wellness setting, or on the curling ice, our goal is to help you slow down, connect, and leave with a memory worth carrying home.
Different experiences. One philosophy: creating exceptional Calgary moments people remember.
Lazy Day Raft Rentals is still here, and it is now part of a bigger story.
