“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 trip .”
  
On Day One you will challenge the exhilarating Class 3&4 rapids of the Elaho River, the same route conquered by those participating on our popular Elaho Exhilarator river rafting adventure. 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. If you’re up to the challenge depending on the water levels you’ll have an opportunity to jump off a cliff high above the river, swim through rapids, and showcase your cowboy talents in our entertaining “Raft Rodeo” event.
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 toward the river.
At the end of the Elaho Exhilarator route, we'll continue on down the river for awhile to our remote wilderness camp area. All your supplies for the overnighter will be packed tightly on our rafts. The evening is spent at a remote wilderness campsite, complete with a sandy beach, tasty dinner and stunning views of the region. As night falls, enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by your guides and mingle with your fellow adventurers. Or, simply relax with a book. This is what "getting away from it all" is all about.
  
On Day 2 awake to the sound of the river and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a delicious breakfast. Your second river day is much more gentle and serene, spent floating down the calm waters of the Squamish River. Enjoy the spectacular sights this river valley has to offer. From old growth forests, glaciers, dormant volcanoes, waterfalls, and a wide variety of wildlife, this is the type of scenery you'll see in very few other regions.
At the end of your river journey we'll escort you back to our Adventure Base where you will enjoy a mouthwatering BBQ prepared by your guides and enjoy browsing the photos taken during your rafting expedition.
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. Live stories worth telling.
