ABOUT THIS REGION  WHITEWATER RAFTING

Whitewater rafting the Elaho/Squamish Rivers

These whitewater rafting trips offer a unique and extraordinary river experience for the rafting enthusiast. Only one hour from Vancouver & Whistler, this whitewater excursion has everything for the novice and experienced rafter. Join the fun this summer as we raft the Squamish & Elaho river system (pronounced "EE-la-ho"), our favourite whitewater trip. Cutting through a deep canyon, you'll raft approximately 16 kms (10 miles) of British Columbia's most inspiring wilderness, with glaciers and waterfalls that cascade hundreds of feet to the river. Everyone on the raft has a paddle, and under the direction of the guide, a sense of teamwork is quickly established making the rafts quite maneuverable during your 2-3 hour rafting journey. The upper section features the exciting Class 3-4 "Devil's Elbow" rapids part of the same route that was used for the 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.

Whitewater rafting the Elaho/Squamish Rivers

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.
