The Deal

• C$239 for a two-day rafting wilderness expedition (C$424.20 value)

On day one of the adventure, guides teach rafters of all experience levels the skills necessary to navigate Class III and IV rapids. Rafters take off down the Elaho River and tackle challenges such as the Devil’s Elbow section while playing skill-honing games and leaping into the cool waters. Tours glide past jaw-dropping vistas that include old-growth forests, dormant volcanoes, and waterfalls, and wildlife such as beavers and bears occasionally make appearances.

At the end of the 10-mile journey, rafters will make camp on a sandy beach as guides prepare a meal around the campfire. After awaking to the sound of the river and a hearty breakfast, rafters will set out yet again on a much gentler float down the Squamish River. Once outings have adjourned, guests return to the rafting base at the Executive Suites Hotel & Resort in Squamish where they can change into dry clothes or grab a bite to eat at the on-site restaurant. Canadian Outback Adventures & Events provides guests with all food and gear, including wetsuits, booties, a life jacket, and a helmet. A personal tent and sleeping gear, however, are not included.
