Wet and Wild Elaho Exhilarator Rafting - Getting to the river from Squamish, Whistler, or Vancouver

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 625 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $183Our pick

Ride Class III and IV rapids near Squamish, with glacier views, waterfalls, wildlife, gear, snacks, and shuttle service from Vancouver or Whistler.

“Super convenient and exciting tour that i did with my teenage sons. A van picked us up at our downtown hotel and took us to Squamish. We did the tour in June, so it was a bit cool, but the water was high and the waterfalls were spectacular. It's hard to believe such a wild and pristine place is so close to busy Vancouver. Dropped off again back at our hotel for a very fun day.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 291 reviews · 2 hours · from $65

Review of Jasper’s gentle Athabasca River rafting trip, with mountain scenery, wildlife, guide insights, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“A really fun way to spend a couple of hours. We felt totally safe on the river even down the gentle ‘rapids’ with Mark and his amazing oar skills. The tour leaders were really helpful and friendly. Pick up was on time and well organised. After a 15 min drive on an old yellow school bus (which was pretty exciting for us non Canadians!) we arrived at our raft launch point where we left our bags on the bus and got on board our raft. There’s an option to buy a photo of your raft for $20 at the end of your trip. We had a fabulous time. Highly recommended!”

Review of Elaho Whitewater rafting near Squamish, with rapids, mountain scenery, gear, snacks, transport tips, pricing, and booking advice.

“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…”
