      Great experience, guides, and company!
      Absolutely amazing experience! Dan the Trip Advisor guy was extremely personable, fun, and knowledgeable. He shared so much information about the surrounding area and provided a great balance between safety and fun. His restaurant recommendation was great, but Geo Cider > Cliffside Cider!! We love Dan :)

      "SPLASHING GREAT TIME ON THE ELAHO"
      I took my staff from Carte Diem - Seize The Souvlaki for a Staff Appreciation treat and we all had an amazing time. From gearing up, the bus ride to the Dakota safety instructions that were both entertaining and frightful :) we were ready to begin our journey down the river. Zach, our guide, made us feel safe, comfortable, and then insanely paddling through the rapids. It was epic! My favourite moment was when my employee screamed "There are holes in the water" and indeed there was! Thanks to all the staff at Squamish Rafting Company for making this the highlight of our summer! Cheers Karin

      Great experience, the team is very cool and fun. I really enjoyed Dakota giving us instructions during the ride. I recommend doing the Elaho tour, it is not as hard as it seems to be and the duration is good.

      Great first time RAPIDS experience
      Must do in Squamish or Whistler vacation. You’re going to want to get on that beautiful turquoise glacial water and this was the best way. The trip was my first rapids experience and it was somewhere between “this is fun” and “holy c** this is for real RAPIDS” perfect adventure! I took the short trip but heard great things about the full day. Thanks Tara and Taylor and Danny.

      Excellent Adventure on the Elaho!
      Just reviewed the photos from our Elaho Whitewater All Day Adventure, and had to buy a bunch of them! The service was great, the guides were informative, capable and entertaining. Dakota, Adrian, Ava, Steve and Wesley all worked to make sure that we had the best ride, lunch and dousing possible! Will surely return some day...

      Elaho full day rafting tour
      We all had a great time. It was super fun to share the experience with our 12 and 14 year old. The guides were professional, friendly and made it a fun day with their sense of humor and jokes. The river and scenery were beautiful. The lunch box was full of a variety of tasty things and was quite filling.

      Just did the elaho exhilarator tour and It was fantastic. The river was beautiful and, as promised, exhilarating. Our guide Matt was top notch. Devon made the bus ride up super entertaining. And lunch was delicious. Will definitely be back!

      An Excellent Adventure
      We had a wonderful full day trip on the Elaho River. We had a dream team of guides in Tara and Ty. Very professional and safety conscious. Jumped off a cliff, had an excellent sandbar lunch complete with covered tables and chairs and the worlds best hummus! We paddled so much my arm just about fell off, but that was more due to my poor technique (use your body not your arm). The rapids and scenery were exhilarating! We highly recommend any of the rafting experiences with Squamish Rafting Company as we have now done all of them and will come back for more!

      A great experience would recommend
      We went on the Elaho Whitewater Rafting trip as a group of 18 of us and wow what a day! When we first arrived the centre was clean and staff friendly, they took us through the paperwork we needed then were led out to the rear yard where a couple of smaller groups joined and we had a short brief on the day and the equipment we would need. We were then led into a very well equips gear room to get kitted out with wet boots, wetsuit and wet suit jacket along with a helmet and buoyancy aid. Once we were all kitted out personal belongings were left securely in lockers and we all boarded an old American style school bus which took us roughly 1Hr away to the launch site but be warned the journey is mostly along very bumpy dirt track! Whilst on the bus the guide pointed out areas of interest and went around the bus very informally getting each person to introduce themselves to everyone else in a sort of what’s your name where do you come from fashion before finishing off with a safety briefing before we got to the launch site. When we arrived at the launch site other crews had gone ahead of us to get the rafts launched onto the water. We were grouped off into five groups of 6 to form the crews for each boat and then got out on the water. The first part of the journey we were shown how to paddle and given a few instructions on what we would do on the rapids and then began heading off down the river.. Wow what an experience! After the first two rapids we stopped off at a calmer point of the river where those who wanted to (most people) get out and climbed about 20ft up a rock face to do a cliff jump into the water! There was one more rapid and then we stopped off at the designated lunch spot where the company had setup marquee style tents for shelter and provided tables and chairs for lunch and a delicious and filling lunch supplied along with plenty of cold drinking water. After lunch we were back on the water and had a further 6 rapids to complete. Each rapid was explained and along the river the guides gave the history and background of the two rivers (Elaho and Squamish) and the surrounding area. Time was given in suitable safe locations to jump off and go for a swim also. At various points along the river staff from the centre were waiting with cameras to get shots of us in action on the rapids which were available to view and buy if wanted on return to the centre. All the guides were great fun and made the day both safe and fun for everyone. Would really recommend this to anyone visiting Squamish or the surrounding area.

    We had an amazing time with the whole gang. We were lucky enough to be in the van as Katie drove us up to our put in point. She regailed us with facts and folklore of the surrounding area; in particular... bald eagle facts and high praise for the brownies served on the rafting trip.
    Dave was our rafting captain and spiritual guide. He was fan***kingtastic! Charming, whitty, knowledgeable and quite entertaining. He lead us all into realms that only the weakest dare to dream. I feel more like a man since this trip. It was, in all honesty, worth every penny and we will be back!

    And Dave.... Bobcaygeon. My favorite Hip song is: Bobcaygeon. Thanks for the great adventure!!

    The raft Guide Jake, was amazing, funny, provided great historic tips of the river and landmarks. I felt like he really liked his job and actually enjoyed doing this trip, even with 6 year old who are not always easy customers. Even considering the current COVID-19 pandemic, our security protocols and health regulations were followed without exception. The safety guidelines were clear and easy to follow and I felt safe with everything they put into place. The snack provided was healthy and the stop midway provided a good opportunity to enjoy the scenery and for the kids to enjoy some water. If you’re looking for a fun family activity, access to water that you normally cannot get to,
    go see Squamish rafting!

    Our family of 4 (children age 8 and 10) all had fun! Our guide David was nice and funny. We could tell he likes his job so much. My kids kept saying they wanted to do it again. They had fun jumping from the small cliff into the river and kept wanting more exciting rough water. It's a very safe, yet memorable rafting experience for our family.

    Amazing time! Everyone there was extremely nice and knowledgeable! They made our family feel very welcome and we had a great time!!
    They all seemed to really enjoy what they do and that also made for a great time.
    We did the Cheakamus Family adventure and enjoyed every minute of it. We learned about the area, nature and even got to see bald eagles! Snack time on the water was cool and offered a tasty and healthy treat!
    Tara was our guide and she ROCKED! We highly recommend this company and the guides!
    GREAT TIME overall!

    A great family trip with guides Zac and Ava. Our kids (age 8 and 6) had a great time and felt safe and welcome the entire time. We were lucky enough to see deer on the drive to the river and a seal swimming in the river near the raft. Healthy snacks at our stop and a fun cliff jump for the whole family.
    Will definitely come back to raft with them again!!
    Thanks for a great time!

    Perfect rafting trip for a family outing with younger kids. The water was mostly smooth, with a few rapids. The scenery was beautiful. We enjoyed our guide Mitch who worked to make the trip enjoyable for all while pointing out major geographic markers and birds. All the folks working there were super friendly.

    We had a fabulous time as a family of never-been rafters. The whole ride was fantastic!! Our raft trip on the Cheakamus River was the highlight of our 4 night stay near Squamish/Whistler. Snacks were really tasty, and our guides Will and Zach were very knowledgeable and friendly! We will definitely go again!!

    We had an amazing time on the Cheakamus river! Our guides Dakota nd Isaac were incredibly knowledgeable and were able to answer all of our questions. We saw eagles, seals, running salmon and even a bear with a salmon in its mouth! This was my partner's first time rafting and he felt confident following the safety talk and rafting tips. We also really enjoyed the snacks and went to The Lil Chef Bistro after for lunch. I would recommend this trip and company to everyone!
