Reviews of Chilliwack River Rafting (Travel Agency)

Alex

What a time this was. We chose the extreme canyon option, and it was a blast. This place has very friendly and helpful staff. They seem like they all get along well and appreciate where they work. Our raft guide, Reid, was really great. He made the experience really fun for us by sending us through the more intense sections of rapids. We were on the water for just under 2 hours total, and we got lunch afterwards. For ~$130, I’d say this is absolutely worth it.

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 …

Jinah

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.

Gwyn Mason

Amazing! So much fun and the atmosphere is awesome. Camping the night before you raft is an excellent idea -you are fed dinner and breakfast, then lunch after rafting. 10/10 would recommend!

Ellie

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 …

Russel, Sam and Nathan all gave us a good chuckle and took good care of my my uncle and I! Really fun! Would love to come back and do the more intense trip on the kayak! Beautiful water and scenery. He really cares about his guests- one group had missed the lunch and the owner was trying to chase down the group to make sure they had their snacks. ????Thought that was really cute and thoughtful. Thanks again, great gig guys!

Stephanie G

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.

Scott Alonzo

Had an awesome time here a few weekends ago. The guides were all awesome people and seem like they really enjoy what they do. Shout out to our guide Kyle for an amazing job at getting us (mostly first-timers) through the harder canyon route, which I highly recommend. Worth every penny.

Jimmy Feng

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.

Irish Outdoorsman

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!

Lisa Neely

Great place to visit. Awesome fun

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!

Jonathan Willcocks

Great staff, great experience. Professional, informative, respectful, responsive and fun! Every time! It was an amazing day. My whole group loved it!

Ash Sharma

We did rafting with a group of 15 people . It was an exhilarating experience. Our guide Nathan (water) was awesome, kept us informed all the way. Fun to deal with. We took break for a small walk to a waterfall which was a pleasant surprise, as you get to stand under waterfalls. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Matthew Haist

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!

Jewel A

It was a fun experience. My friends and I all had a great time. The campground was clean and there was so much room for activities. Our safety briefing before getting on the raft was very thorough. Nick, our guide, was awesome! He was very friendly and ensured we had a good time on the raft.

Sonia Bedi

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

Scott Van EK

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

Long Cheng (海外侃一侃)

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

Trinity Business

We went last weekend and it's been a very awesome experience.. They are well organized. Our team has few non swimmers but our raft's guide Nick was a very experienced, fun lovly, know the river so good and he made sure no one falls in or the raft flip over.. If you get Nick as your guide, damn sure, you are in safe hands.... Do it again. Cheers.

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 …

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)

Justin F

My first time, but I had some paddling experience in the past. Water is high this time of year, but the guides had is prepped and ready in no time. They were super fun, but also very serious about our safety and I couldn't have a had a …

Kh. Md. Jalal Uddin Rumy

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

Annie Wang

Having fun! And don't forget to bring your own food to do the BBQ.

Alison Lafek

We had a fantastic experience! Guides were great! Everyone here has a sense of humour and want to make sure you have the best and safest time.

Beni Bennett

Good staff and fun times

Grace Xiao

Definitely worth the experience

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.

sky dallas

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.

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%

Eduardo Muntaner Garcia

Great time with great people! It's loads of fun, and right now in July is the best time to go! We went about a month ago, so we couldn't do the more extreme run, but they said July should be better in that regard. And these guys aren't messing around, they know what they're doing; at one point 2 of our 5 members fell overboard right in the thick of it, and they still managed to guide us out of trouble. I will definitely be coming back.

Daniel Kuo

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

Hehe Da

nice trip！

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!!

GrAviTy ChrOnicLeS

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!

Peter Bissada

Had a lot of fun, I would recommend

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.

Kaeli

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!

Matt Maros

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

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

The Party Scientist

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

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.

Justin Hall

Beautiful campground next to the river, you can fall asleep to the sound of the rapids. No campsites, it is a large open campground. Had a blast rafting the canyon tour. Amazing guides. The food and firewood provided was a bonus. Be sure to go for open mic night Saturday.

Ramgopal Chennuru

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.

Niall Joyce

Our group went here 2 weeks ago, it was my second visit and I was keen on a return - The weather was pretty bad with heavy rain (even thunder & lightening!) falling the whole time we were there, definitely not ideal for the overnight …

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!

Sean Dyble

Our group of 13 went rafting on August 20th. We all enjoyed the new experience. The whole operation was professional from beginning to end. The guide in my boat was Nathan. He was friendly, taught us some rafting skills and made sure we all had a great time. Our group sat at lunch (included) and talked about coming back in the near future!! Highly recommended.

Nolan Versendaal

Good times and good memories galore! Great food , staff and scenery. Big shout to out guides Sam and Jody, their energy and experience on the river gave me the confidence to just SEND IT every time! Cant wait till our next voyage with Chilliwack River Rafting , thanks again for everything!

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!

Sandy MacLean

Lots of fun, just pick the correct tour for your ability.

Arabinda Sahoo

It was a great experience. Water was beautiful and not cold, weather was perfect and we had the best guide that you can hope for, Kushi.

gurpreet sangha

Wow its great experience. If you are in Vancouver or Fraser valley must go there. Staff and guides are very friendly .

Ian Jonsen

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

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.

Julianne Bolton

Loved every minute of the experience. From the time we arrived until the moment we left. Staff is extremely nice and our guide was very helpful and fun to work with.

Lauren D

We had an amazing overnight rafting experience with the team at Chilliwack River Rafting. Highly recommend our guide Laura and the more challenging "Canyon" option (perfectly fine for all levels.) All facilities, food and staff were great as well as the added Covid-19 measures. Thank you for an amazing weekend and the best fun!

Ashley Dowdeswell

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

haider khan

this was excellent for the price and experience, completely worth it! Had to give them 5 stars

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 …

alex zhai

very nice place to visit,and everyone have fun

loku8511

Awesome experience. Will definitely be doing this again

D Brooker

Had a wonderful time rafting on the river. The guides were great, especially with our two 12 year olds. The entire crew made the 16th birthday for my daughter one to remember. Thanks again and will surely see you again.

Brett McGuire

You're going to get wet.

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!

Reggie Lee

Great craic

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.

Sorcha Hennessy Silke

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!

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.

Gavin Cross

Great experience. Staff were extremely friendly yet very professional. Food and service was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.

Samar

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
