"Thank you for your wonderful help for organizing our Anniversary party last month. Our Iron Chef BBQ Challenge in Toronto allowed each team to create their own unique 'masterpiece'. Some of the teams were very original in the naming of their food and teams, which made the whole thing very comical. A lot of people were able to socialize and get to know one another who do not normally work together. Some people were also meeting for the first time. It was a wonderful event... we would definitely do it again!"

School’s out! Take the plunge and come experience the adventure of a lifetime.

Our Grad Rafting Trips are the perfect opportunity to celebrate the end of the school year with your schoolmates. 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 your rafting adventure, we offer return complementary transportation for groups originating in Whistler (transportation also available from Vancouver at additional charge), a delicious Outback BBQ meal, and apres raft social activities at our fully-equipped adventure base. Get a group of 24 or more and 2 people will raft for free!

"Thank you for a fantastic trip... this will be preserved as a great Grade 12 memory for years to come!"

The Rafting Adventure

The exhilarating rafting adventure starts and finishes at our fully-equipped adventure base in the Squamish Valley, a gorgeous 1.5 hour drive from Vancouver and Whistler. Although the trip features numerous big Class 3-4 rapids on the Elaho and Squamish rivers, it's still suitable for everyone, including those with little or no rafting experience. The time spent on the river features lots of big waves crashing into the boats and what’s been voted as Canada’s best rafting scenery. You don’t need to have any previous rafting experience or any special skills to fully enjoy this trip. All participants will be required to sign a waiver and permission form prior to the trip.



Apres Raft

Following your adventure, we’ll take you back to our fully-equipped adventure base where you’ll be able to change back into your own clothes and enjoy our deluxe Outback BBQ meal. Some of you might want to relax while others will want to challenge their friends to a game of bocce, volleyball, Frisbee, or more exciting games. This is a great opportunity to hang out with your grad class in the great outdoors!
