Family friendly fun - We had a brilliant day with Rob and Matt on the river. They made it great fun for the kids and were always safe. The scenery was gorgeous, the rapids a lot of fun and lovely to have a swim too. Thanks to Rob and Matt for a great day!

The perfect beginner experience! Wish it had been longer. - We had the best time and was the highlight of our visit to Vancouver! This was the perfect blend of fun, adventure, and a bit of a thrill ride. Similar to the water park rides where you get wet, feel thrilled and have fun. Was initially worried it was a lot of money for a simple float down the river, which it did have some of that, but mixed in with plenty of small rapids that dipped and swirled you and made you wet. The paddling was easy on my 'mom arms', no real struggle keeping up and the wet suits kept you warm. We took the morning ride, 4th week in July and the water was cold so wet suites were perfect. Simply wore our swimsuits under them, no socks needed. Our guide was the BEST > Jada (sorry if misspelled!) You don't pick your guide but we loved ours. She was super friendly and enjoyed the job. She had us high fiving paddles, spinning us several times, kept us involved with information on the river and her experiences canoeing. We would do this all over again.... Wish it had been a longer float on the river itself. And all the reviews about getting bus sick was not an issue on this family version. A bit of a bumpy dirt road for the last 5 min. and that was it. I'm prone to car sickness and seasickness and nothing was bad enough for that.

Great for kids 5-10! - Awesome family experience, core memory! Ryan was a terrific guide for our two families with kids 5-10. All the staff were friendly, informative, helpful. The kids had a blast and grownups, too. Thorough safety procedures, efficient process with gear, flawless experience, would repeat without question.

Beautiful but very tame - We travelled as a party of four, including two young teens. All the important stuff was good (equipment, safety, the team). The setting was beautiful. It was very very tame - take your toddler tame and so the missing star was because it was a little dull from that point of view.
