Guides were great and the...

2.00Guides were great and the river is beautiful but they added a family of 5 to my family of 4 on a boat where only 8 can paddle so my son did not get a chance, meanwhile they took a family of 3 alone on another boat. If you’d like to paddle, make sure you ask they divide people fairly.
Fun tour by Jacob!

5.00Very fun and safe experience. Beautiful scenery and fun currents, we even had the opportunity to stop halfway and go for a swim. Kind staff who explained everything well (Alex) and made it a fun ride whilst also sharing fun facts about the nature and animals we saw (Jacob).

5.00UNBELIEVABLE! We came as a group that had never rafted and left with a new passion! The entire team was truly excellent but our boat guide (Sass) was the best! This was our favorite activity on vacation! Thank you!

5.00Had book the Elio for my family of 6. 3 were booked on the Family Friendly outing. They had to cancel the Elio due the road washing out. Flynn made our trip incredible. He went above and beyond to keep it exciting after taking the different rafting trip. We really appreciated his energy and combination on the river. Top notch!
Great rafting trip

5.00Our rafting trip was fantastic! It was well organized our guides. Tom and Fergus were fantastic, it was entertaining safe and so so much fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting that Whistler Squamish area. I have been on several rafting trips, and this was the best one by far!
