“During our Corporate Castaways event it was wonderful to have everyone actively involved. There was a mix of strength, logic, trivia, and strategy, which created balance in the teams and in everyone’s participation. Since this event brought associates from 11 Milestones locations together, it was a great opportunity to create a social setting for networking. I had feedback that people were afraid of the term “teambuilding” (eg. do I have to close my eyes and fall backwards?) but throughout the day, everyone agreed that it was a great event, a lot of fun, and they trusted each other without feeling pressure. If I may quote Mastercard, I would say the experience was priceless.” Milestones

The intensity of a whitewater experience seems to double a person's distance from jobs, jammed highways, bustling cities, and workaday responsibility. It sharpens all senses, hones your physicality, deepens your ability to fully inhabit a moment and take delight in the natural world. This year, take the plunge and "live stories worth telling".
“As an avid fan of whitewater rafting I have had the opportunity to book trips through a number of different companies over the years. Your outfit by far provided one of the best rafting experiences I've had. From the trip itself, to the guides and staff, everyone went out of their way to ensure it was a truly memorable day.”
In addition to recommendations from our guests, we are also a preferred river rafting supplier to the top tourism organizations in the region:
Our talented team of professional river guides will teach you the skills necessary to maneuver through exciting Class 3-4 rapids including the challenging “Devil’s Elbow” section, used for Mark Burnett's 1996 Eco-Challenge Adventure Race. Depending on water levels, you may have the chance to swim through rapids, and showcase your sense of balance in some of your guide's amusing challenges.
Along with some of North America’s most exhilarating rapids, your 2-3 hour river journey will take you through approximately 16 kms (10 miles) of British Columbia’s most inspiring wilderness. Don’t forget to take time to reconnect with our world-class scenery, including: old growth forests, dormant volcanoes, towering glaciers, and stunning waterfalls that cascade hundreds of feet towards the river If you're really lucky you'll get a glimpse of the local deer, beavers and bears which often stop by the river's edge.
"This trip was not only the highlight of our British Columbia trip, but probably one of the funnest and most memorable experiences we've had on ANY trip. From the booking agents, to the young man who picked us up from our hotel, to our river rafting guide, everyone was very professional, super-friendly and knowledgeable. I can't wait to do this trip again and will recommend it to anyone who's going to be in BC."
