Reviews of Chilliwack River Rafting (Tourist Attraction)

Jim w

Staff is very knowledgeable and made the experience amazing, was my first time ever river rafting at 40 years of age and would do it again. Was a great day with breakfast included and a great lunch with many cool things to do on site including camping. Learnt everything I needed for a fun day on the Chilliwack river from our guide which helped ease the stress and concerns of being a first timer, thank you I strongly recommend this year round activity for the whole family and can't wait to return again.

Awesomest outdoor experience. I went in kins of nervous at first, but it was a complete BLAST. The food was great, and the staff was super friendly also. I would highly recommend going for the full experience! It was such an amazing time that I will go again this summer sometime.

It was a fantastic and fun experience! We did the Canyon, and it was pretty hardcore and scary sometimes but much enjoyable than the classic one. And all of the employers are a friendly and exciting vibe, and most importantly, they are professional! I definitely would love to do it again! I absolutely recommend this Chilliwack River Rafting if you are looking for some extreme sports and fun things to do!

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.

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.

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

Angela Bodnar

Had the best rafting experience, one that we will never forget. The guides were very informative, professional and fun! Russ, you were fantastically funny and comical! Just what first time rafters need to calm their nerves!

John Choi

Had tons of fun here. Guides are awesome, and campsite was amazing. Thank you for the great experience.

Joel Russell

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!

This is the best thing ever... Loved the staff the other guests had a great time rafting... The camping was great I can't say enough.. One million stars.

Maisha Iqbal

Super fun experience! Highly recommend ????

Akhilesh Jalakanta

One the most exhilarating, thrilling and wholesome experience I've have had in a while with my buddies. Right off the bat, Madie and Jodi got us reserved in no time and our guide Andy was on the money in giving us an adrenaline pumping experience. To top it off, the breakfast and lunch was an icing on the cake. Would highly recommend irrespective of, whether you are a thrill seeker or not. Planning to visit them next spring or early summer for more exciting and faster rapids. Till then, great job team, keep the good work up!

Had a great day. Staff are fantastic and the hot lunch is so good.

Kiky Kiks

Really fun!! BUT I would say the score is mixed ... would give 5 Star for Rafting ????????(guides are cool, our guide Sam was awesome, scenery is amazing), 3 Star for Lunch (chilli - small portion and very blend), and 1 Star for how UNORGANIZED our departure/ getting dressed/ bus; Everything was - until getting on the actual raft ???????? ... about 2.5h of sitting around, waiting ... don't know for how long, just being told "we have to still wait" ... Also washrooms were locked (only porta potty available), and a lot of things could use an update. Good experience all in all, but with long waiting time

6 of 5 if I can give. The best rafting experience you can have in BC.

Ben Mac

I would highly recommend anyone visiting the area to take a day trip and go white water rafting with Chilliwack River Rafting Company. The guides are all very friendly and knowledgeable about the river and area. The runs themselves are fun and manageable, even for beginners. The final three sets of rapids are the best. The guides will warn you and give you the option to skip them. Don't let them scare you; it's totally worth doing. The guides also have great suggestions for grabbing a drink and a bite to eat after rafting.

Joe Roberts

Brilliant day on the river. Serious fun, great people, excellent safety measures and even the food was awesome. Highly recommend the experience for couples, family and any thrill seekers. This is BC at its finest!!

Amanda Ellsworth

Fantastic rafting guides. Such a good time. -- Kind of confusing and unorganized upon arrival until you actually get briefed to go--you can usually choose to switch routes/levels upon arrival --They have heaps of shoes you can where instead of wearing/ruining your own -- Coffee/Hot chocolate upon arrival. -- Meal can be gluten free and peanut free (we were served chilli + non peanut free salad + non GF bun)

An amazing spot for rafting & family picnic at all.....

rick larsen

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

Kendra Diary

I would rate this a 10 over 5 if possible. First experience, we were novice doing water rafting but our guide Leticia was awesome and fun sport. The clashes with the rocks, the boat almost tipping over and the horrible singing of Disney songs. I would definitely come back. An awesome experience it was.

Rebecca Wong

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!

Mike Loehndorf

The best on the Chilliwack River. Very experienced guides. They did a excellent job to keep the guest entertained with safety in mind. And the lunch and snacks was a bonus. Every staff was was 10 out of 10. From bus driver to your Guide Cookie...well run River Rafting place.

José Alfonso López Solís

Great experience! Everyone was really nice and helpful

Thereysa Tabert

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).

Muhammad Qazi

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

Daniel Kuo

Friendly. Guides were great. And the run was very exciting.

Leith MacRobert

Took my wife and couple friends down this weekend. We had Just the best experience coming here. Dave our guide was fantastic. All the staff we dealt with were amazing. Thank you for a great experience I will 100% be coming back!!

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!

Anna Dueck

The environment is about having a good time, enjoy yourself while also making sure all safety measures are taken. Returned for our 2nd year, rafting and camping. It's a blast. Great for all level of rafters and adventure enthusiasts.

Geoffrey Carlot

Great place ! We did the rafting with Sarah and she was great ! We all had a great time and plan to go back !

Vicky Chowdhury

What a wonderful experience. We took the classic tour and got off before the last 3 km which are the stronger rapids. I am glad we were advised that the end was stronger as I am not a strong swimmer in the event the boat flipped, which it didn't. Sarah was our captain and she did a marvelous job guiding us on the river. My 9 year old daughter and I had the best time and it was our first time river rafting. I was nervous and almost backed out last minute but Sarah assured us and helped ease my mind and I'm glad I listened because this is a memory I will never forget. Thank you Sarah, it was a pleasure meeting you!! If we ever visit BC again, we will definitely be back!!

Mia A

Great customer service, I enjoyed the lunch and rafting last week

N Edwards

Fun day out with my son and the staffs are all knowledgeable and friendly. Good lunch!

Donal O'Keeffe

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

Brynna Thorlakson

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.

Nikki Bradshaw

Can't wait to go back again!!! 5 stars to our guide Nick also, he made the trip for everyone! Tea just after the waterfall was a nice touch, especially cause it was a rainy day! Fantastic ranch! Can't wait to try the camping!!! Keep up the awesome work guys!

Lauren Telford

had the best time! the people were super friendly and helpful, the camping was great and the food was really yummy! will go again!

gurpreet sangha

Blake Philpott

Had such an awesome weekend thanks to these guys! Great hospitality, staff are amazing.

Waseeta Tanweer

From start to end, our trip was so well organized. These guys provided excellent lunch items as part of the package (along with vegetarian options!). We were guided along the way with gearing up and safety. Our guide was Maddie and she was fantastic! Haven't had this much fun in a long time. We even stopped for a short break 1/3 of the course and got to hike up to a waterfall and walk through it! Definitely coming back here and 10/10 would recommend! You totally get your money's worth here.

RayofLight

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.

Rob Skleryk

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.

Ashley Dowdeswell

Amazing experience! Our guide Nathan was great! We did the moderate route but will be back to do the Canyon Tour.

Jack Dina

My friends and I go here every year. Each time we go is better than the last. Absolutely amazing place with very knowledgeable and friendly staff

Ryan Savenkoff

Tried the inflatable whitewater kayaks for the first time yesterday. Our guide Larry was excellent and made sure we knew what we were doing before taking us through any of the hectic parts. I think this section of the river was class II to III. The river had an assortment of lines you can take to suit your comfort level, and everyone managed to find their way with smiles on their faces. I'd recommend it to anyone who's a strong enough swimmer to be comfortable if they end up in the river unexpectedly, but I don't think we had any dunks in our group. Go for it!

loku8511

Awesome experience. Will definitely be doing this again

Arjit Barua

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.

Chelsey Sanchez

My family and I had a blast - Avery was such a great guide and made my family and boyfriend felt very comfortable the entire trip and had so much fun! Thank you Avery!

Sam Manaa

Very beautiful

Xiaoyu Yu

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

Anita Keokangvane

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.

Suresha Mahadeva

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...

Emma J

So much fun! Amazing employees and campground

Joyti Sharma

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!

West Coast Mini Dachshunds

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.

Chloe Ding

Rafting experience is great, our guide is also professional and kind. The only issue is the attitude of the staff with red scarf covering his face (I believe it’s the owner). Due to covid-19, people are required to wear masks during ride on bus but can take off mask while rafting. There was no pocket on my cloth so I tuck the mask between my cloth and life jacket during rafting. Unfortunately, it slipped out and got wet completely. Before we get back on bus at the end of the trip, he came and asked us to put on our masks. He was holding a pile of masks for hand out at the moment. I told him that my mask is completed wet (which I mean I need a new one) and opened my hand waiting him to hand over a new mask. And he replied me “wet is better.” and just walked away to check other groups before I say anything. Me and my friends were confused and shocked. Why were you being so mean? Did you really think a wet mask works for prevention? Especially the mask was wetted by water in the boat where had our shoes stuck in. I eventually got a new one after I demanded for a new mask while he allocates masks to other group without masks, but the prior conversation made me feel uncomfortable.

I had a wonderful experience of Rafting here. The facilities are good and the staff are friendly, funny and a little tongue-in-cheek ????. Awesome experience overall
