I had always thought this would be physically demanding, and was surprised at how easy it was. Anyone can do this and I recommend you do. Matt is a brilliant teacher and tour guide, and will show you a perspective of nature you would otherwise not see. He gets 5/5 from me, and he’ll be getting me as a returned customer.
We did the four hour Waterfall Rappelling in Port Alice. It’s a must do. The scenery was brilliant, the company was fun yet made you feel safe, and was just the right amount of challenging that you could easily succeed. I want to go again. This awoke a thirst within. Cannot recommend Matt highly enough. If you are debating this, just do it.
A friend and I took a wander down through a canyon in Port Alice, Vancouver Island with Mat a few weeks ago and had a great day out in a beautiful part of the world. The repels were varied and Mat set up and explained everything perfectly for each decent. Overall I found Mat to be very professional and personable and would highly recommend this adventure. Its a perfect reason to go see Port Alice as well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are thrilled to hear that you and your friend had such a great day out in the canyon! It’s awesome to hear that you enjoyed the variety of the rappels. We take a lot of pride in making sure everyone feels safe and informed, so I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Matt. He’ll be happy to know his "professional and personable" approach helped make the day memorable for you both. You’re absolutely right, the canyon is a spectacular way to see a side of Port Alice that most people never get to experience. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back on the Island for another adventure down the road!
Two years ago I did a tour with their sister company in the Rockies (Banff Canyoning) and this time I visited my daughter and we did a road trip through Vancouver Island and we went canyoning with Matt in Port Alice! We loved it and would definitely recommend it (we would also recommend visiting Port Alice because its a beautiful spot)
Thank you so much for the kind words and for making us a part of your Vancouver Island road trip. It’s a huge compliment that you sought us out after your experience with our sister company, Banff Canyoning. We’ll be sure to tell the Rockies team you said hi! We are thrilled that you and your daughter had a great time exploring the canyons with Matt. He’s a pro at showing off the hidden gems of the Island, and we couldn't agree more about Port Alice, it truly is one of the most beautiful, "off-the-beaten-path" spots in BC. We hope the rest of your road trip was just as spectacular. Safe travels, and we hope to see you in another canyon again soon!
As a first timer to zip-lining I felt very confident and safe following Matthew's instruction, and had so much fun on the route he set up. I highly recommend any of the excursions Western Canyoning Adventure-Vancouver Island offers! Thank you Matthew, you are an excellent adventure guide!
Thank you so much for the 5-star recommendation. We are so happy to hear that your very first ziplining experience in Port Alice was a success! Matthew takes great pride in being an excellent adventure guide, especially when it comes to helping first-timers feel confident and safe while navigating the rugged terrain of Northern Vancouver Island. We’ve worked hard to design our routes at Western Canyoning Adventure-Vancouver Island to be both accessible and exciting, so it’s wonderful to know you had so much fun on the lines Matthew set up! Whether you're looking for ziplining, waterfall rappelling, or a full canyoning excursion, we have something for everyone. We can't wait to welcome you back for another North Island adventure soon!
