Description:

The Elaho-Squamish River provides thrill-seekers with the challenge and excitement they so crave from a whitewater rafting experience through class-III & -IV rapids. With native wildlife and stunning scenery along the way, this is the perfect combination of adrenaline and charming sight seeing.

Your adventure starts with a scenic drive to the river through Paradise Valley. Take this time to take a break before your adrenaline starts pumping as you load into the raft.

Set out onto the 44-mile (70-km) long Elaho River, fed by the Elaho Glacier, and navigate its bouncing waters as it flows into the Squamish River. You are sure to be treated to scenes of waterfalls, glaciers, and forests. While traversing class 3 and 4 rapids, you and your paddle crew are pitted up against the true power of mother nature. Follow the cues of your personable guide and you maneuver through the dips and turns of the river—your guide is there to ensure fun and safety of the group aboard your raft.

You are likely to see lots of wildlife from the river including bald eagles, bears, cougars, beavers, deer, and mountain goats. You may even hear the howls and squeaks of coyotes. Midway through your adventure, enjoy a snack of fruit cookies and beverages to hold you over until the mouth-watering barbecue lunch that awaits you at the end of your journey.

Every aspect of this adventure envelops your senses and allows you to gain even more appreciation for the wild wilderness of the Coast Mountains.
