One of the best experiences ever! Definitely a Bucket List Checkoff! If you want to experience Beautiful British Columbia this is a must to do! Not only was the drive up the sea to sky highway break taking but the scenery on the raft was a 10/10!

Brilliant trip. From the ease and courtesy of the Vancouver pickup to the skill and professionalism of every part of the team, this was the best activity we did on our holiday. Exhilarating rafting through spectacular scenery - just perfect.
