White Water Rafting near Vancouver

Only an hour from Vancouver, this whitewater excursion has everything for the novice or the experienced rafter: fun, excitement, thrills, great food, great company and great scenery. On this trip, you'll have a chance to raft the Squamish & Elaho river system which cuts through a deep canyon in one of British Columbia's most majestic wilderness environments.

Experience 16kms (10 miles) of glaciers, rapids, waves and waterfalls that cascade hundreds of feet to the river. Because we have exclusive rafting rights to the area, you will enjoy a genuine wilderness experience. Depending on the current, trips last between 2 and 3 hours.

Everyone on the raft has a paddle, and, under the direction of the guide, you'll quickly establish a sense of teamwork. You will also enjoy a sense of mastery as you figure out how to maneuver the boat and help shape your rafting experience.

The upper section features the exciting Class 3-4 "Devil's Elbow" rapids part of the same route used in the 1996 Eco-Challenge Adventure Race. Along the way, if you just can't get enough excitement, you can jump off a cliff, swim through rapids, and take part in a raft rodeo. Ask your guide to hit what has been called Canada's largest standing wave!

And you certainly won't go hungry. Half way through your journey, you'll stop on the banks of the Squamish river for a snack and a chance to stretch your legs. At the end of the trip, you'll be treated to a BBQ lunch or sunset dinner at the rafting base camp near the river.

All equipment, guides and transportation to the river (if required) are included. State of the art equipment, including SOTAR rafts, provide the ultimate in safety and comfort for your journey. And your trip is fully outfitted and led by talented, professionally certified guides.

You will be required to sign a waiver before embarking on the white water rafting trip.
