Chilliwack River Rafting

We recently held a team event here, and had an amazing experience. Friendly staff, good food, and a sauna to warm up with.

Sooo much fun for the first time here. Our guide Dylan was excellent good. He is kind, patient and friendly. We had a great day. I'm sure I'll be back next year. Hope see you again Dylan. Thank you.

THIS GUYS ROCK! Totally worth it. Also stay overnight. Will definitely come back!
Thanks for everything!

River is getting a bit low for Canyon so do Classic in July. Was still a lot of fun, but got stuck a few times on the rocks.

This was a great experience! We did the canyon tour. The water was quite rough so it is good when you are in a good condition because you have to paddle a lot. We hit a couple of rocks on our tour, I think because the water level wasn’t that high. One person from our raft fell out and the others helped this person back into the raft. What an adventure! Thanks to this company. The did a great job and they have very good and friendly guides.:)

So many happy memories from 35 years ago. Came from U. K.to celebrate birthday with Canadian friend. Lovely young woman guiding raft was from N ew Zealand doing her degree online. Wonder how she did? Everything was provided for customers of clothing, wet suits etc.can’t forget Ed Chilliwack from TV programme Northern Exposure. Most exciting thing I’ve ever done, ever!

Amazing. My 4 teenagers really enjoyed this experience. The guides were friendly, experienced and knowledgeable. The goats and dogs were a highlight. Highly recommended for both beginners and experienced rafters. Well worth the money. Would totally do it again.

We went on Max's last day and I'm so happy we had him as our guide! He was so engaging, friendly, very knowledgeable and capable. I had two kids with me in my group and they loved our french Thor guide! We'd definitely go again the experience was so positive and safe.

Had an absolute blast! The staff are all wonderful and personable. They take care of you throughout your entire trip and do their best to make it an amazing experience. I highly recommend the Canyon choice. You get to even stop to do a little cliff jump into the river. Our guide Jodi was the best!

The chilliwack river rafting place is must try. Highly recommend. The staff was amazing and very friendly. Even the place is very neat and tidy. The food was good too. Overall it was fabulous experience for all of us. We had so much fun.

I've never been river rafting and loved it! It is simply amazing to be immersed in the river rapids, falling into white-capped churning water laced with large boulders and fallen trees, all surrounded by a lush forest that suddenly ends with steep cliffs at the river's bank.

The staff was amazing as they all have wonderful personalities. David, Avery, and Jodie made a fantastic team that guided us down the Canyon Run. Jodie lead our raft and was simply amazing! My girlfriend is not the strongest swimmer, and Jodie made her feel comfortable within minutes of our trip. Avery took pictures of us during our raft that we'll cherish forever. David was calm, cool, and collected. And then there was Larry. Who's Larry? Was he even there?

I highly recommend river water rafting to everyone, especially with Chilliwack River Rafting.

Amazing experience! Will definitely come back for more extreme level! Our guide, Larry, was so patient & fun at the same time! Thank you!

We booked the Kayak tour + overnight camping and it was a blast!
Cool and motivating guides! Nice food and a super chilled atmosphere in the resort.
Highly recommend!

Astrid & Benedikt

They did a phenomenal job with the experience overall. From the safety training, to the unexpected hike mid-way, to the "are you sure? " check before the hard part, and the actual rafting of course. Highly recommended!

My family had an absolute awesome time! Highly recommend! Our guide Dave was funny and awesome. A ton of fun with extra sites along the way!

My 2nd time rafting with them. Check in was fast and pleasant. Very nice people. They provide plenty of pens and tables to fill out liability forms. Complementary breakfast comes with pancake, sausage and scrambled egg. Coffee and tea are available too. Clean setting. The wet suits they provide had rips and holes especially on butt and leg area. So better wear base layer inside the wet suits if you don't want to show your skin or ugly under wear. The rafting instructors were fun and friendly. Their safety instructions were clear and helpful. I realized kids who can't swim are better off not rafting because of invisible dangers in the river. The rafting experience was fun and exciting. Everyone on the boat must listen to the instructor's comments and row or you will have a very bad experience in the river instead of having fun. The water was cold even though the weather was warm. About half way through, we stopped and hiked up to the waterfall for photo shoots. They provide hot lunch as well. The public washrooms were super clean. They also have a shower room in the washrooms. They also provide a car key drop off box that you can drop your car key before the trip.

Our guide seemed too cavalier. There was a flotilla of 3 boats and our raft was the only one that had 3 people thrown out of it. I hit my back badly on a rock and did serious damage. Very bruised, ruined the rest of our holiday. I have been white water rafting many times in far more serious rapids, never have I seen a person been thrown out before. This was a wake up call to the dangers of this activity. The skill of the guide is hugely important, and you can't know who you are going to get.

This is one of things you have to do in your life, they have professional and funny crews and they know what they are doing, we get deal as a group of friends

Great time had by all!
The entire team was friendly accommodating and fun! Our instructor Andy (bouncy) was brilliant, we were laughing all the way down the rapids!
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a slice of adventure!
You're definitely in capable hands!

Chilliwack River Rafting is THE BEST! I went with my partner and it was our first time rafting. The staff were incredible, super friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable. We had such a good time. Jodi and Tom were excellent as our guides and really made the experience. All the extra activities down the river too kept if entertaining and we even got some great pictures along the way. Would 100% recommend to anyone who has gone before or is new to rafting. We will be back again soon! Thank you =)

This was my first time river rafting. We did the classic tour, it was myself and my husband, his father, and our three teenaged kids. We arrived and had lunch at the camp. There were a lot of people there and everything seemed a bit chaotic. We were outfitted with our gear and then bussed out to the top of the river. At that point we were divided into smaller groups and assigned to our guide. Ours was Maddie and we really liked her! Once we got into the boat and Maddie was giving us instructions everything seemed much more under control! Everyone had a great time on the water, my daughter even fell out of the boat but we all knew exactly what to do and she was immediately pulled back in. It's her favorite story now of our time in Vancouver! I was pleasantly surprised that there was a photographer on the river with us and we got some great, reasonably priced action shots of our time.

Our guide Lucy was A+ fun and professional. Ensuring our safety and enjoyment was the top priority. We picked the perfect time to go June 7th when the water was at its highest and the rapids were spicy.

The hike to the waterfall was beautiful and made the trip that more special. Thank you to the entire crew and especially the owner/ operator who has been steering the ship (raft) for 20+ years!

A fantastic experience overall. We went as a group on May 7th and chose the canyon option. We had good weather and great River conditions. Our guides were fun, enthusiastic, and most of all very professional and safe throughout the entire journey. The booking process is a little bit complicated and involved calling to make a deposit for each individual, but once the trip was booked, everything else was seamless.

At the end of the trip, if it is cold weather, a small sauna is available to warm up. This is located about 30 minutes beyond Chilliwack, so make sure to budget extra time for arrival by car if needed. You may meet some interesting personalities while there - it all adds to the fun and the experience.

Overall a thrilling experience. Lovely people. Nice food. Good ambience. Perfect arrangement. Nice place to have a night campfire too. All the guides are experts. Equipments used are class. The river route is good.water is good. The scenic beauty of the mountains is breath taking.

They do scare people a lot for the last leg to not continue. Personally I thought it was doable because who did it gave feedback that it wasnt as scary as the guides were trying to push down to your throat. I would have given it 4-5star had they not done it. The overall timeslot they assign you is of 4-5hours but the actual rafting is of only of 30-45mins because they take the whole group through forest to a small freezing waterfall to click pictures, which later obviously you have to purchase from them for 30-40CAD.
If you account for all this, it doesn't come down to worth your money spent because you take 1-2hrs drive from Downtown.

Those looking for beginner level and or with family, this is perfect for you if you ready to spend approx 200cad

I went with a group of 10+ and did the river rafting and camping I have to say this is one of the best value for money activities in Vancouver great set up amazing rapids with good food and friendly hosts had blast would 100% recommend booking if it’s not fully booked out all you’ll need is a camping chair, a few cans and a tent you’ll be sorted then

This was one of my best weekend trips in a long time. We opted for the rafting that was the easier version where you get to see a beautiful waterfall and go through level 3 and 4 rapids and then we camped overnight. Rafting started out fantastic as we had a great host who’s name was Maddy and the conditions were perfect. Back at the campsite the food was delicious and during the night they had a live band play and invited everybody up to sign karaoke. Overall it was an amazing experience and would definitely recommend this attraction.

The river was high and roaring, giving us the opportunity to hit some class 3.5 and class 4 rapids - and we were lucky enough to get the lead guide, who did an amazing job and made the day epic. I can't recommend this place strongly enough, the Vedder river is litterally world class rafting and I've seen places that charge three times the price for day cruises down a bubbling brook. If you're thinking about it, book now! Can't say enough good things about all the staff, the breakfast and lunch were excellent, everyone was super friendly, and their 4 acre compound is idyllic. Complete with goats and chickens!

Great corporate outing on Saturday! Our team had a lot of fun.
Laid back atmosphere, good people running the place, nice / experienced rafting guides, good lunch food served and great river rafting.

I came with a group of friends and rafting experience itself was great! We had a lot of first timers and they enjoyed it. The reason I am not giving a 5 star review is due to inappropriate racial comments made by our instructor throughout the rafting trip. This made us especially uncomfortable as we had a diverse group for the trip and were not sure what to make of the comments being said. Hopefully these concerns will be addressed with staff and that kind of behavior won't happen again with any future group.

We had a great day with Chilliwack River Rafting. Sarah was our guide. She is very caring, experienced and awesome! Thanks Sarah!

While the rafting and the experience itself was a super fun time, our guide did make some offhand comments that made our group quite uncomfortable. We enjoyed the rafting experience all together but our guide did make a couple racist comments which did upset us. We had quite a diverse group and while none of the comments were directed straight towards any of our group members it was still highly inappropriate. It really ruined the mood both times the comments were made. We did our best to brush it off at the time and just enjoy our day, but we all agreed afterwards that it left quite the sour taste in our mouths.

Was good but safety was there goal getting in and out of boats on slippery rocks staff not very helpful. Guide was great
Food wasn't that great very very cheep

It was an exhilarating experience for our first family River Rafting in Chilliwack River! Thank you to Josh who helped saved my teenage son's life by pulling half his body off the water. We hit a rock and the raft almost turned over but we luckily managed to keep it from happening, unfortunately we had 2 people from the crew
that went overboard but they were quickly helped by the other staff guides from the other rafts. Thumbs up for quick thinking! I felt safe knowing they know what they're doing during an emergency! We will be back for sure! I highly recommend them if you're up to some adrenalin pumping experience!

Good experience! Apparently in May-June is the best time to go as the rapids are better. It was more of a calmer day 1-3 rating I'd say (in mid August).

Great little beach for a few family's.
Can get busybon the weekends as usual so be early. Great fishing spot if you use a bait caster and bottom bounce.

Best part of our trip to BC. We did the kayaking adventure and it was a good level of challenge but not so much that a first timer couldn't enjoy it. We camped the night there as well and it's a nice facility.

Excellent package - rafting, food and camp spot all in one. One of my favorite things to do each summer

Lot fun, and our guides name is Tommy. I really want to appreciate him. He is very reliable, friendly, professional, and very patient guide.

My friends and I had the best weekend with these guys! We were a bit skeptical at first seeing the packed itinerary and facilities in relation to the price per person but they definitely delivered.

We arrived to a hot meal and headed for the rafting soon after. Our guide (Reed) was fun and engaging and was obviously very knowledgeable about the terrain. When we told him we wanted a bit more excitement, he was quick to guide us through higher drops and rocks to bounce off of.

We were surprised when the trip also included a small hike to a waterfall mid trip where we could walk through the falling water.

By the time we got back from our trip, dinner was served and we had plenty of time to set up our camp site. After a bit of volleyball on the outdoor court near came, there was a small "talent show" which was really more like a mini-concert that had woodstock vibes.

I would highly recommend the whole experience and we are definitely going back next year.

Wonderful and thrilling experience, our rafter was Mandy, she was excellent and the entire team was friendly.shall come again during winters.

Nice n fun place to visit with family and friends. Awesome staff n caring, enthusiast guides. Loved this place and would like to visit again. Would love to rate with 5 stars but giving 4 instead as food was up to mark.

Great tour August 2021 with Russ and his merry crew! Rapids on the classic run were perfect for our 9 year old who enjoys water and excitement. Hiking under the waterfall was fun. Highly recommend!

6th Peace Arch Scouts would like to Thank the Chilliwack River Rafting Company for an amazing experience out on the water. The Scouts truly enjoyed themselves and they look forward to doing it again.

Utterly fantastic! We enjoyed an overnight Saturday stay and Sunday morning rafting in early July. The entire experience was sublime from start to finish. Its hard to capture all the good points succinctly but to break down:

Staff - friendly, knwoledgable, cheerful, fun and vibrant. This was the standout feature and the culture fostered at the resort is a thing of beauty. Shout out to Maddy for being oir excellent raft captain! Although every one of the rafts seemed to zing with laughter and smiles so it must have been the same experience across the fleet.

Campsite/ facilities - cute, peaceful clean, relaxed accessible.

Food - ample, nutritious, filling and efficient service.

Rafting - beautiful, wet and bumpy! Just what we were looking for!

All round excellence keep up the good work guys!

What a great facility and set up. Had a great weekend camping, listening to local music and rafting. 10/10

Our family group of 9 had a blast. 6 kids, 13 and under and even Grandma! We did Classic and it was great for us. All the guides were awesome but we had Sarah and she was PERFECT and really made our experience a good one.

Great experience. Great people, experienced guides & fantastic adventure. Full package includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and overnight camping. Recommended!

My first river rafting experience. We had an excellent guide, and the experience was good overall. I loved the opportinity to walk under the waterfall, and swim in the river. They also provide a nice pancake breakfast and lunch. However, there were too many rafts going at the same time, and we wasted a lot of time waiting for others.

Amazing experience! Great Summer activity with both friends and family. The staff here are so welcoming, upbeat and helpful. We had a slight delay in getting access to our pictures but besides that everything was perfect!

What an amazing experience!
Fabulous and very professional team, super friendly and kind hosts! Best value experience.will return 100%

Had a blast. You definitely get your moneys worth. We went here in early September. The reason I do not give 5 stars is because multiple instructors were smoking/vaping on the bus and at the base. Thought that was very unprofessional.

Took the family a few weeks ago. We all had an amazing time and will deffinitly be going again. The guides made the trip very enjoyable.

Exceptional. We met the owner, we now call him a friend. Guides are professional, skillful, and hilarious. Super fun experience for all ages.

Absolutely loved my experience! Rafted one day and kayaked the next. Both were SO MUCH FUN! Thank you to Russ and everyone at Chilliwack River Rafting for an amazing weekend! I am recommending this place to all of my friends!

Absolutely loved the whitewater rafting tour. Food was amazing. But not near as good as the guides. It was loads of fun. Guides where supper pumped and knew how to have fun. All while keeping everyone safe of course. I would do this trip again if I’m back in the area. Thank-you

Very fun experience. They are organized and very proffesional in what they do. The scenery is beautiful and during half time, you go to the waterfall they will take you. Optional to go under the water! Very fun and cold! Went when the water was a little low so get stuck sometimes from those rocks. It includes breakfast in the morning and lunch! Food is good and delicious! Thanks for the experience. Do recommend going~!

What an incredible experience! Such a welcoming group of people with an experienced team of people who provide a feast of food and a fun time on the rapids!

It was amazing! We went rafting and the guides are just really fun people. I was with Andy and Yon (because I got kidnapped from my original boat). Food is also so good and for 120$ it's so worth it. DO IT!

We had an amazing and beyond believable Rafting Experience last week at Chilliwack River Rafting! The food is delicious and the staff could not have been more professional. We had the time of our lives, and would do it again and again and would recommend to everyone. We felt very safe and the scenery was unreal. The owners have done a fantastic job of organizing a memorable experience and training the staff to be polite, personable and professional. I give this experience a 20 out of 10! Thank you so much! Lee and Mike

Great place, great staff, great food and great adventures. The sauna after the river rafting was perfect.

Our group 9 girls went for a stagette and had such a great time! We camped and did the Cayon route. Some of us were more experienced and comfortable than others, but everyone had a blast despite different comfort levels. A few of us fell off the raft, but quickly got scooped back in. We stopped along the way to go optional cliff jumping which was a nice bonus. The water level was still pretty good, but I can imagine it would get a lot lower later in the summer. At that point I'd probably recommend kayaking instead of rafting. The actual river is so beautiful crystal clear water and mossy forest canyon. Couldn't imagine a better way to spend a stagette - very reasonably priced too. My fiancé did an overnight rafting trip with his friends in Squamish and spent over $400 each. We practically did the same thing but spent $130 or so. You get there and everything is taken care of, including meals. Molly (one of the guides) also teaches yoga, and we did a private "beer yoga" class with her on the lawn. It was hilarious. There was also an open mic night, so we sang and drank the night away and had a campfire. Thank you all!

I have been in Canada for 2 years on a work permit and try my hardest to make the most of my weekends to experience Canada. I haven't experienced anything like this place since been here! Starting from the staff who are friendly and attentive whilst on and off the water! If you book the weekend trip you can camp on a chilled campsite with no noise complaints (suitable for people who want beers and a good time) you are treated to 2x worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner (quality and tasty food!) And the rafting itself is amazing! Dont leave BC without visiting this place, you wont regret it

Had a great rafting experience! Would definitely recommend this place. If you want an exciting close to town adventure this is the place!

Great staff. Well organized. We did the Canyon trip which was a little bit more work than the last time we went did to lower water levels. It was still fun in late July but I'd recommend going a bit earlier in the month or June

Awesome place and great people we had a big group there last weekend the level of care is terrific and such beautiful scenery too.

Really excellent service, it’s not often that you find a place that goes above and beyond to offer such a great facility. I found it to be great value for money for what we got.

Awesome people, great scenery and one heck of an adrenaline filled ride.

Big thanks to our guide Cushi for taking us on a ride of our lives through the canyon.

Can’t wait to come back next year.

What an amazing time are guide was awesome made the trip that much better. Will definitely be going back

Been 3 times and enjoy it every time. The workers there will do whatever it takes to make you comfortable

Such a cool and chill experience. Our guide TJ was amazing. Very friendly and very good at what he does! Thanks for the wonderful time and the dip in the river.

Our group did the Canyon run. Highly recommend it!
Staff was well organized, professional and fun
Breakfast and lunch was a great bonus and delicious.
Looking forward to doing this again!

Everything about how Russ and team handled the day was perfect and amazing. Starting with Jodi who went out of her way to create a document to give me routes and options to reach the spot. Nick and the rest of team helped with all the details and explained who things work so we can all be safe. Apart from being so good with everything else, they took us out to rafting for a SECOND time. The chili was very good and overall it was an epic fun day.

I booked white water rafting with Chilliwack River Rafting for 4 of us, for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. None of us had ever been white water rafting before, but all have some prior paddling experience (kayak/canoe/paddleboard). We booked the afternoon run and it did not disappoint in any way. We arrived at the resort at 12: 00 PM, signing in was easy and painless, we signed the waivers and then had lunch. They served buns, green and pasta salad, and chili (one vegan, one meat), and dessert. The food was tasty. Then they corralled us over to get our gear. One very minor discrepancy was the website says water shoes are good, but when we were there they told us to wear a pair of their running shoes as the water shoes were likely to fall off. It wasn't a big deal at all, and they had TONS of shoes in a variety of sizes to choose from.

Then we took a short bus ride up to the top of the river and did the safety presentation, which I felt was well done. It was informative without being terrifying. Then they split us into groups and we had Dave as our guide. He went over commands and reiterated the safety procedures prior to departure and Dave is AWESOME! He was a lot of fun, super funny, but definitely serious when necessary. He ran the boat well and gave clear, direct orders throughout the run. We all had a huge smile on our face the entire time, and I enjoyed the waterfall and small break to munch on an orange before the final run. I would not have thought an orange would do much to boost your energy, but it honestly really helped a lot. Not even halfway through the run, I said I will definitely be doing this again.

The value is incredible and we were offered to do the final run a second time, which we definitely would have done if it weren't for our dinner reservations that evening. I will ABSOLUTELY be back and will be requesting Dave to guide us.

I highly recommend Chilliwack River Rafting if you are thinking of trying it out. Two people in our boat didn't know how to swim and there was a party with young children (approx. 7-10 years old), so even if you do not have prior experience, or if you do have a lot of experience, it's definitely worth a try! 5/5 stars!

Awesome time, got to do some awesome rafting. They have all the supplies you need for a good time, even for the forgetful folk. Definitely recommend going during the spring.
