Top-notch views and rafting crew

Rafting down the Squamish River was the best way to wrap-up our Vancouver, BC trip! The views and rafting crew were all top notch! A shout-out to our rafting guide, Mila!

Birthday Bucket List

The rafting company provided all of the essentials. Wet suit, booties, fleece jacket, rain coat and a helmet. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the river and the rapids. 2 members of our group had never rafted before and the staff and our guide made them feel very safe. Communication was great and safety was a big priority. The only negative was the long ride to Squamish from Vancouver (1.5 hours) Take drugs if you get car sick, the roads are very windy up to base camp. Then it was another 50 minutes to the drop off site and the school bus is very bumpy. The water is very cold but the scenery is so beautiful. Another great thing about the trip is they're the only rafting company on the river, so we didn't have to compete with other rafts or big groups. I give them a 10 out of 10 for our group. We had the best time! Thank you to everyone at Canadian Outback Rafting

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear your group had such a great time, especially for those rafting for the first time—it means a lot to us that you felt safe and well taken care of. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the whole team. The drive can definitely feel long and bumpy, but we’re glad the scenery and the river made it worth it. We love being the only company on the river—it makes the experience extra special! Thanks again for joining us and for the 10/10—we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon. -Canadian Outback Rafting Team

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 :)

Operator response

Thanks Anika for taking the time to leave us a review! We also love Dan, and are happy to hear he made your trip such a memorable one. We hope to host you on the river again soon!
