  • 5Great for young kids or beginners

    Great if you are a super beginner but it was a bit tame for us. Unfortunately this was the only tour we qualified for with our youngest. That said the staff was very professional. We felt taken care of the whole time. Our guide even gave a great local food recommendation for afterwards.

  • 5Morning on the river

    Felt like I needed insight before going all in to the full day level 3/4. Now I know, I'll be doing it next time for sure!

  • 5Beautiful views and thrilling rapids.

    The guides are all first-rate and knowledgeable. We had excellent onshore safety instructions, so we felt confident and safe before we pushed off. It was fun, exhilarating and memorable. Shout out to our excellent guides, Tara and Ty and our driver, Katie! Thank you. I am really looking forward to returning in January 2023 to see the Bald Eagles. Highly recommended.

About Squamish

Squamish sits at the head of Howe Sound in British Columbia, beneath the granite wall of the Stawamus Chief, a base for climbing and hiking.

At the head of Howe Sound, a long fjord north of Vancouver, Squamish lies between the water and steep, forested mountains. The Stawamus Chief, a granite monolith that rises hundreds of metres above the town, draws climbers to its walls and hikers to its three summits, while Shannon Falls drops more than three hundred metres in a long white ribbon beside the highway.
