Great experience

Great experience. I did this tour with my mother, i in her 50s. Neither of us have done a Via Ferrata before. Nick our guide was informative & supportive.

It was amazing. The staff are wonderful and helpful kind. We started out doing good, but when we started to climb, I couldn’t do it. I had to turn back. We had two guides-Nick and Victor. I told my husband to continue and Victor stayed with me and helped me to hike back down to the starting point. I’ve done two before this one and it is amazing the adrenaline and the rush is incredible. I just couldn’t do this one. But WOW! You got to try it. My husband continued and he enjoyed it. . Nick and Victor you’re awesome and amazing. Thank you Victor for all your help and support. M & N😎

Definitely a five out of five!

A most enjoyable adventure!

Great experience getting out on the rock in a safe but fun environment. Not too challenging for an experienced climber, but we had a few in the group who were new and the guide Emile was very patient and encouraging. We had excellent weather with amazing views, and the whole adventure was most enjoyable.

Operator response

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the climb and that Emile made it a great experience for both new and experienced climbers. Wonderful to hear the weather and views made it even better.

Fears faced, heart full

Fantastic experience. Meet up was easy and it was really special taking the gondola up first. Much more mentally challenging than physically challenging. Faced my fears and felt safe and supported the whole time!

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you felt supported throughout the experience and proud of you for stepping outside your comfort zone, what an amazing accomplishment!

Rock climbing made easy

This has been an adventure packed vacation but the standout experience goes to the via ferrata tour in Squamish. Expertly led by our instructor, Amile, we climbed the rock faces below the Sea to Sky Experience. This two hour excursion was superb, I felt totally safe as you are clipped on to the wire rope on all the climbing sections. As a novice this was a great way to get a taste of rock climbing, the metal step irons allows you to navigate the ascent without the upper body strength of expert climbers. Amile was super, he made everyone feel confident and safe. A truly lovely guy.

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad the Via Ferrata in Squamish was the highlight of your vacation. Emile will be thrilled to hear your kind words, he’s truly great at helping guests feel safe and confident on the rock. We hope to see you back soon!
